[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1710675, member: 63925"] I shoot a Hoyt DoubleXL (31-33") that is for us normal size guys and it may give you the draw length that you need to shoot properly. [URL]https://hoyt.com/compound-bows/double-xl/specifications[/URL] If you cannot come to full draw up against the wall, you will likely pluck the string with release causing all sorts of wonderful flight aberrations. I would also bet your arrow spine is way off for your draw length. Based upon likely physiological estimate of your draw length as a 6'11" normal sized human being it is likely to be 250 to start. I shoot fixed blade Thunderhead out to 60 yards with perfect flight on Black Eagle Rampage Pro Series 300. The spine drives everything when you start getting into orangutan arms like us normal folk. I think Hoyt can also increase the draw length on this bow if you contact their Tech Support. My Hoyt will shoot 314 fps with 450 grain arrow @70 lbs so you also get the added bonus of power stroke and velocity with your draw length. I have also learned over the years the long draw folks like us need to be aware of using stiffer spines to offset the increased power stroke due to longer arrows. If your bow doesn't fit your draw length I will guarantee you will be chasing gremlins on arrow flight and accuracy forever since you can never establish a consistent anchor point when your arm, wrist, hand etc cocked different every time you draw.
