My point on the bow's draw length is this: By changing the bow's draw length you changed how your body (posture) and eye (sight picture) interact with the string. The question remains the same; did you have too long a draw length to begin with or did yo have to adapt to a different posture (head tilt) and sight picture?
If, in fact, 31" is your perfect draw length (in relation to posture and sight picture) for you and, you are now shooting 30", you are shooting too short of a draw length, period.
Of course it is better to be too short than too long. But my point is the same; adding the loop didn't change your draw length it changed the orientation of the elbow (and thereby the shoulder). Instead of addressing the distance from the nock to the elbow, with smaller loop or shortening the release length, you chose to shorten the draw length.
Having said all that, and hearing what you have said, it is more likely you had too long of a draw length to begin with; most people do and it doesn't matter how long they've been shooting. Doing something wrong for 25 years doesn't make it right.
I'm not hackin' on ya AJ, I'm just trying to put out all the information for everyone else that may be reading this and looking for help.
