[QUOTE="Blandry, post: 2649898, member: 111203"] I started with fixed 5 pin back in the 80's, then as soon the slider type sights came out switched to a single pin slider. Now I'm using a 3 pin CBE Engage Hybrid and it's like the goldilocks baby bear.. just right. I can set the pins to 25/35/45 and then slide out to 100 if needed. I do practice a lot out to 100 because I live out here in the west and hunt/live in WY/CO (soon to be living in WY) and the wind is pretty bad most years. Have to practice a lot in varying wind conditions. Just from that vid still in the OP, looks like draw length might be a bit long for the boy the way he's cranking his neck back. Sounds like he's shooting well like that so.. yeah whatever works. I used to always use longer draw length because everyone else my height was shooting a 29'' (or more) at 5'10'' height. If I measure correctly my wingspan it comes out to about 28.5'' but now I'm on a Hoyt Rx4 Turbo with the #2 cam which maxes at 28'' so that what I started using and 28'' is **** near perfect. The guys at the range laugh and say I must have t-rex arms but they're normal span for my height. Everyone wants to shoot a longer DL than they should be for the bit of speed increase imo. Michael Waddell is my height and has a 28'' DL so.. can't argue with his skills. [/QUOTE]
