Thanks rps3, Morgan and Trapper Rob.

Have to admit after looking at the photos and measuring things up, the photo shows a 27 inch draw max, maybe a smidge less. And that was as true of a full draw I could do. I checked the poundage on the tree at that length and got 48. When I started trying to make bows a few years ago I was convinced my draw was somewhere around 31" just by putting a yard stick to my chest and extending my arms. Have been shrinking ever since. All things considered, I figure its a good thing. With everything shorted I'll have more resources :) Mike
