Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice. I've recently bought a Core Zeal compound bow as an alternative to recurve. I'm not taking it ultra-seriously but want to shoot it something like properly!
I've tinkered around with the draw length and have set it at 27.5" which feels comfortable...It gives me a consistent anchor point with a hand held release aid. Thing is that the string is nowhere near my nose (it's about 1.5" from it). I have quite a small nose anyway but even it was bigger, I'd still not be close. How important is it??? Most archers that I've seen shoot have the string making contact with their noses but not sure I'm going to manage it!
ATA is 38" if that helps and the bracing height is 7 3/4"
Many thanks in advance,
Easytigers
