Is that the new Ron Jeremy stabilizer?

On a more serious note; I’m pretty ignorant to setting up bows. Which one shoots the best, I think could be a deciding factor. Any differences?

I don't own the Ally any more, KP. I sold it after my last 3D shoot, Sunday.

I've only shot one Vegas round with the 82nd....and it started out great and ended up poor.

Something just doesn't "feel right". Hard to explain.

Are you a feel player or a mechanical player. (no particularsport~cross referencing [:-])

To me you look a whole lot more comfortable with the Alley. Are these measured draw lengths or manufacturer stated? In the second 2 you look like you're leaning your head back. Maybe it's not so much a draw length thing but more a form change. I don't see any of them as too long or too short, just bent out of shape.

GMMAT

DEFINITELY a "feel" player. If I "think" mechanics....I'm done.

Good luck man, I'm sure with the help you've got here, it won't be long before it "feels" better.

Jeff,
I think your bow arm is bent to much in all the pictures. I think the draw length looks the best in the last picture. But if you straighten your arm up you will need to lengthen the draw some. One thing I was always told is that if you hit your bow arm with the string then your draw length is to long. But I don't know if you wouldsee thatthe way your arm is bent.

Mfr. stated.

In the case of the Ally.....that bow was nearly one yr old in the photos....and I might have had soem string creep......thus making my DL even longer. A new 29" DL might be the ticket.

I DO have to lean my head back a bit with the new DL/bow to see through the peep. that might also be atributable to a form flaw. I honestly don't know. Complete novice in this arena.

GMMAT

Not that it makes any difference....(as I don't know)......but if I straighten out my arm....the string's gonna be off my nose (with the shorter DL). I know that's not imperative....but I'd lose a point of reference.

If I extend my bow arm....where's that gonna put me anchoring? it would "seem" it's gonna have me hanging out there.....with way less reference.

Interesting, for sure.

MC Bowhunter

The peep sight is your rear point of reference.

I think it's too long. But set it up where you are most comfortable.
Try the shorter draw length and see if you group better then when it's longer.
