What is your draw and which length PL do you prefer?

I draw 27 3/4" and shoot a 62" just fine. Had an older LAG that was 66" and it was incredibly smooth.

I have always liked longer bows,I draw 27" and my PLX is 64".I have had a 62" PL and I like that length also with my draw.With my draw I would go with either one,they both shot fine and smooth!

I draw 30.5" and shoot the 66" PLXs. I have a couple shooting buddies with shorter draws that shoot my PLXs with no problems at all.

I draw 27" and the 64" fits me fine. This is my hunting bow for the last 10 years.

I had an LAG that was 64", then switched to  PL that is 66", 55 @ 28.  I draw 28" and prefer the 66".  My brother has an LAG that is 68", and would buy that if he would sell it.  I prefer the longer bow.  I went to the Kalamazoo expo and shot 62, 64, and 66" bows. The 66" drew, and shot much smoother.

I drew my PL to about 28.5".  It was 62" and I was happy.

I prefer longer bows all around, and when comparing the 64" and 66" PLX's at the Widow factory, the 66" was the clear winner for me.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I really like my 62" PL! It is perfect at my 27.5" draw and super smooth.

Is there a significant performance difference in the 66" vs 62" at 28" draw?

62" LAG I draw 27.75", I like it.  I have a 64" and really can't tell a difference.
