So, a bow for you that has 24 inches working limb that is 58 inches long, you will pull it the same draw length as a bow that has 24 inches working limb and is 66 inches long? You dont account for the string angle at the tips, and radius of bend at the working section of the bow? Is this just to keep things simple and safe?

Yes, with adjustments to width of the working limb to compensate.

Obviously that works, but it is being overly cautious. I dont think you are getting everything out of the bows that they have to offer either. That's fine of course, not nocking it, but a lot more performance can be had doing it this way.

You must be misunderstanding. I am bending the working limb more than anyone recommends.

I was mis understanding. So, you would say his 14 inches of working limb allows a 28 inch draw?
