    I'm not sure if I have a form problem or a draw length problem. Or maybe it's not even a problem.

    When I'm at full draw on my elite synergy, I look up at my top cam and it looks like the string isn't centered on it. Like I'm torquing (sp?) the bow to the right. I know my hand is relaxed and the bow is sitting in the meat of my hand, but it is still off.

    My first thought is draw length being too long. I'm told I should have a 28" draw, but this bow came with 29" and I'm using it anyways. Could that be what's causing it?

    My second thought is that maybe it would have something to do with how my release hand is positioned. Any traction there?

    As long as I keep the same form and have it sighted in, I should be ok, right?

    Go to a bow shop, without watching you draw and holding the bow it's all speculation

    Yeah, you want to get to the bow shop and at least get your draw length straightened out. If somebody who knows what their doing told you your draw length is 28", then that's what you need to be shooting. Attempting to shoot a longer draw length is going to screw up establishing a consistent anchor point among other things.
