That's actually a good thing- shorter draw lets you make shorter bows!
Keep hittin' em, aero!

i dont mind shooting the long bows i have, though i havent tried a shorter one. how can i figure out what my actual draw length should be?

draw a bow with an arrow and have a friend clip a clothespin on the arrow where it touches the back of the bow.. Measure from the inside of clothespin to inside the arrow nock for drawlength... ;)

I have a floating anchor. I don't draw the same length every time. I concentrate on a spot, and draw to where my eyes tell my mind, to let my fingers know, to let go. ;D I never could pull to an anchor, every time, just wasn't accurate enough for my liking. The floating anchor just feels natural to me, and i like my accuracy. I always hit my wrist area with the string on my selfbows. I don't hit my arm at all with recurves. Build and shoot the bow the way it feels natural to you. ;) Just my two cents. Good luck.
