Like em short or long. I make as many shorties as longies. Can shoot em all equally. I just adjust my anchor point. 28" goes almost to the corner of my mouth, heel of my thumb at the mouth is about 26", finger tips at the bow arm armpit - 24". I think other guys on here use similar methods. I'm assuming that's why so many guys gave their draw lengths as a range (I said 26 to 28 but I can shoot 24 no prob) instead of a specific draw length. 60lbs at 28 just means if I only pull to 24", I'm still shooting at least 45 lbs (cuz 60 would about be my max to pull at any length). I'd be happy with any bow you sent Jon W.

I've done one shortie, 48", and took some getting used to, but i could only draw to 24" or so.  I loved it once i got used to it, but if i did another, it'd get at least 26" of draw ;)

Anything I can hunt with will work. I have never shot anything shorter than 58" ntn, but I'm sure one you get used to it they are cool.
