Shooting a bow uses a very unique combination of muscles that other activities do not. Regardless of how strong you are, it takes a while for the right muscles to work together and be conditioned to easily draw the bow and be rock steady at full draw.
This.
I've got about a 30" DL and a 69# draw. Didn't shoot my bow for a year and the first shooting session wasn't all that great. Once I found my rhythm again, things got better. Nebraska opens on 9/1 this season, so hopefully I have a little time to get out there and pursue a velvet buck.
I'll say this much, find what's comfortable for you. I've got an '09 Diamond The Rock and it's a good bow. It's not as fast as some of the ones they're coming out with today, but at 270 fps, it gets the job done.
I've practiced enough to where squeezing the release and letting the arrow fly is subconscious. The only conscious thing I do is find my anchor point. Mine touches the side of my nose as opposed to the tip of the nose. A lot of people will say I'm wrong, but it works for me.

to the bowhunter:
My draw length is 28.6. I was recommended to use 28 length (it would be more comfortable then a 29) unless I could find a 28 1/2. That 29 would be a little to long.
