    IMHO what Rat is stating is correct, I look at draw length being [the front half of the body] the bow arm/grip and shoulder properly set and when drawing the bow string back the string V should preferably not go past the eye socket of the corner of the mouth which allows several facial structures for multiple anchor points as well as good sight from the peep. Archer should be standing up straight, not leaning forward or backwards to reach out for the string.
    Know loop length or release head length is/ can be adjusted to bring the draw arm/ elbow and shoulders into proper alignment directly behind the arrow. Its what I call the back half.
    Just my $.02

      I think what I'm suggesting is to add the loop (i have my guy make it as small as is reasonably possible) then shoot your bow.

      for me and me only the 28" bow that i was shooting at that time forced me to go to 27.5" or change my then current anchor point. A few bows later I moved back to 28" for a handful of bows and my last two bows I moved back to 27.5.

      I think bow makers DL aren't always spot on. I realize my dl is not changing but the same bow when i added the loop I had to go smaller.
      I always measure the bow's actual DL when setting it up.
      If everything is in spec, and it is long, (as certain brands almost always are), I can either "crunch" the bow to reduce the DL slightly, (usually can get 1/4"), but it usually increases poundage also, or simply go 1/2" shorter.
      Rotating Modular systems are not without issues, but it sure makes DL changes easy.
      Going shorter messes with shooter's ego, and is a common issue as to why a lot of them are shooting a too long DL.

        I switched to an adjustable release head with a forward trigger when I started using a loop. Nothing changed at all.
