We have order a pair of 38# CXG short for her riser.

i have tried different stances, brian. i used to shoot an oblique/open stance and it messed up my lumbar spine, so had no choice but to return to a parallel stance. and frankly, there wasn't much difference in contact. from what i've been told, my form is good (apart from a few things regarding my loose). i use an arrowhead chestguard that gives me a consistent surface.
from what the bareshaft tests showed yesterday, my old 32# winacts (which weigh 37# when i draw them) are better matched to my current arrows than my 34# borders, which are weighing in at 41#.
harrison, johnk is right about your higher poundage, as you have a long draw. mine be less than 28", so you'd think the poundage would be lower.
