That's why I got rid of my Mathews and went with a PSE with the slim grip.......less opportunity to torque the bow while shooting.

I would disagree with this statement ^^^^. You're DL from shooting fingers is different than shooting a release with a D loop. It's sometimes better to go down 1/2" in DL when shooting D loop. I respectfully disagree with this statement...DL does not change with releases, D-loops, or anything else. Your Anchor Point will change, but not the DL. There are numerous articles out there about how to determine proper DL. However, I don't want to hijack this thread. Apologies to the OP.

You're anchor point should remain the same, no matter what the stated draw length is, how long the d loop is, or what kind of release you're shooting. Some bows run long on stated draw length, some short. Some d loops are longer than others, etc. So, if you have a properly fitted bow, it is going to anchor in the same place, as say a mathews, that might have a 1/2" shorter stated draw length.

HuntersMark, if your bow has a 28" cam on it and you measure 27.2", it's too long. Have it adjusted to 27".
As far as what Goldhill and FlyinRN are discussing, technically you're both correct. If you change releases or decide to shoot fingers, this does not change the measured draw length on the bow. It changes your anchor. So you lengthen or shorten the draw to get it to where your anchor point is comfortable. When shooting fingers you typically anchor closer to your mouth, thus needing a shorter draw.
Mathews cams are notorious for running long now. I measure out at 26.6". On my Z7, Chill R and Creed I had to set them up with a 26" draw so they would properly fit me.

Hard to tell from that pic, but might try rotating your hand a little more clockwise so your knuckles are about 45 degrees. Looks too vertical there
