How do you change the draw length on a prime bow?
Pushing the limb stops inward will result in decreased let-off and shorter draw length, while moving the limb stops outward increases let-off and draw length. To adjust them, use a 9/64” Allen wrench, loosen 8-32” cap screw one full turn, and slide both the upper and lower limb stops equal amounts.
Does a thumb release Increase draw length?
Your release does not alter your draw length. It will affect your anchor point. The reason people increase draw length when switching to a handheld release, is to maintain the normal anchor point, rather than learn a new anchor point.

Will a new bow string stretch?

Are Bowstrings Supposed to Stretch? Bowstrings are not intended to be elastic (stretchy). The power of the bow comes from the limbs. Anything else that stretches, like strings, will absorb the power from the shot instead of putting that energy into the arrow.
Should I twist my bow string?
Putting in twists will make the string effectively shorter (think about twisting up a piece of string) which will increase the brace height; taking twists out will effectively give you a longer string and therefore smaller brace height. To do the tuning – start with the lowest sensible brace height and shoot 3 arrows.
Can you shorten bow string?
