Big WAH!

[Boneyard Bowhunter]

I've been shooting a Savannah for two years and I love the bow. I couldn't hunt with it last year because of an injury. This year I found out that I cant make the short shots from a tree stand ( 10 yds and less ) cause the string hits my leg. I have short arms and a short draw. So now I am thinking maybe a 60" or 58" long bow. My question is can I expect the same performance from a 58" or a 60" custom bow. I would like to hear from shooters who own short bows. Make of bow, draw length, type of arrow being used and fps would be a big help.  Thanks! Gradog.

Can't you just cant the bow?

Are you bending forward at the waist when you shoot? (not leaning over to the side but bending from the side forward).

I would think that you wouldn't be hitting your leg if you are bending correctly...but you could be if you are dropping the bow arm to create the angle.

I wish it was just a form problem, it's a short problem. Bending at the waist is one of the things I preach to people who miss when shooting from elevated or low positions. My draw is only 25" and there isn't much string angle. I can cant the bow more but then I get into problems with the limbs not clearing the tree.
