Short Draw Length Bow Performance

Hello Gentlemen, 
I know that I am a few days behind on this thread so sorry about bringing up one with a few days behind it.  I wanted to add, though, that what I think they were trying to say about the deflex or reflexed handle is what is called a "set back" handle in the TTBB's. 
This is done by steaming the handle area until soft and then placing the bow, belly down, in a form and clamping using the presure on the back of the, protected, handle to push it down which forces the limbs out in a relex right from the handle and fades, creating more energy storage.
Many have opted to dry heat the entire limbs on a caul nowadays but the set back handle really works and looks unique.

Thanks for the input eh

as far as I understand it , if the bow is made proportionally shorter, a shorter draw length will make no difference to the bows efficiency, on a shorter bow a shorter draw is  working the bow to the same degree as a longer draw on a longer bow, so in my (unprofessional) opinion , a shorter draw length should be no handicap, provided the bow is designed for it
