Default 30" draw on a 33" axle to axle bow...questions!

If I am shooting at a 30" draw length, with a 33" axle to axle bow, will the string angle be so severe that finding a correct peep sight for it be a pain in the arse? I'm shooting mechanical release...

I contacted Browning about my old bow - they offered 50% off a new F5 Tornado, since they no longer offer replacement parts for my old Browning Spectrum II. The F5 has a 33" AtoA measurement, and I've got a 30" draw.

Thanks!

The bow has an 8-1/2" brace height.

Nope, you should be okay. I have a similar setup, 30in draw, 34 ata........no problems here. Good luck.

It'd have to be pretty similar to me, with my 33" draw, shooting a 36" bow. The string angle took the peep so far from my eye that I had to drill out the hole in my peep to 3/16" for 3D'ing. I'd have wanted at least a 1/4" hole for hunting, I think. Also, there wasn't any hope of using the string on the tip of my nose as an anchor reference. And I had to use a string loop in order to keep the string angle from pinching my arrow's nock off the string.

I still shot that bow pretty darn well.

Wehn I used to use a peep sight, I had no problems on my Patriot. I have a 30" draw and the Patriot is 33" ATA. I use a no peep now so it isn't a problem at all.
