    Just curious if anyone had issues with their string touching their nose at anchor when they went to a shorter ATA? I cant get my nose close to the string now. Tried a longer DL and still no luck.

    The string touching your nose is nothing but an extra reference point! With the shorter ATA bows it's almost imposable! Just make sure your draw length is correct and your anchor point and form are consistent and you should be fine!

    I have a 28" draw length and shoot a Mathews DXT [29 75" ATA] with no problems with the string touching my nose. What bow ya shooting?

    The shorter ata will increase the angle of the string thus making it farther from your nose at the same draw length.
