RE: Ok LOOP ?
ORIGINAL: Paul L Mohr
A loop will not change the mechanical draw length of the BOW, as in the power stroke remains the same. It will however change the perceived draw length, or YOUR draw length because now the distance from your bow hand to your release hand at full draw has increased. It will also change where and how you anchor and the position in which the bow is pointed at full draw.
Every set up is different. I have several bows and every one of them has a slightly different draw length in order to feel "just" right. Even the type of release makes a difference. I suggest when you buy a bow you take your release, or if you are buying a new one you pick one out first then decide if you want to use a loop or not. After that have the bow adjusted to fit you then start tuning it.
You can use a head designed for a loop though that has a shorter head and things will equal out some.

The addition of a loop does nothing to your draw length. If your DL is 28", it's 28", loop or no. What it DOES do is move your release hand anchor back. I suspect you are going to be slightly uncomfortable w/ that DL, it's going to be too short. The string will be in front of your face......that's all assuming the 28" was right to begin with, and not too long.

RE: Ok LOOP ?
When you add a loop it is going to change your draw length and anchors.You need to shorten the draw length of the bow when adding the loop,then the anchors will need to be slightly up to get the anchors back to where you like.
IF YOU DON'T,the draw hand will be coming back to far making a solid anchor harder to achieve,assuming you were right to begin with.This will also cause your elbow to have a tendancy to over rotate.

RE: Ok LOOP ?
I wish I would have read Paul's response first,he is dead on and you are going about this the right way.
And your draw length looks good in the pic.It wouldn't look good if you were shooting a loop at that draw length,imo. But the grip hand does need some work.
