Draw length question?

[GaryO732]

I have been shooting a 45" ATA target bow with a Carter jaw-type release at 31" of draw. If I drop down to a 36" ATA hunting bow and use a caliper-type hunting release will my draw length drop down to 30"? Many more bows are available with a maximum 30" draw length. Thanks...

If you need that extra inch or so you could use a longer D loop. Other than that I would probably just stay at the 30" draw length must bow companys now has a overdraw stop that keeps people from over drawing the bow.
