Priliminary Correct Draw Length

Check for priliminary correct draw length by holding the bow straight out and drawing straight back with your head errect. You can use three fingers for this set. Anchor the index finger to the corner of the mouth, do not move you head to the string, but instead be sure to draw the string to the ancor point. This is important because you must not move your head forward or back, if you do you change the length of your draw. Adjusting the draw length may require the use of a bow press to change string mounting lug positions. Moving the string to make it shorter or wrap more around the cam or wheel, on each end, will cause the draw length to decrease. The opposite is the case of increasing the draw length. The draw length can also be changed slightly by twisting or untwisting the cables on a fastflite cable system. Contrary to the string the cables will have the opposite effect as the string length changes. Lengthening the cable will cause the draw length to decrease and visa-versa. When you can draw and anchor your index finger to the corner of your mouth and still be able to draw about another 1/2 to 1 inch you have the draw close enough for now. We will fine adjust later if needed
