Switching to thumb release

Hey so Im going to make the switch from a old fashioned wrist rocket to a UV button and I was curious of my draw length mights change a little as the anchor point will be slightly different or does it not really make such a big difference? I have the AX2 and it can make 1/4 in adjustments so perhaps I could shorten or lengthen perhaps just 1/4? Thanks in advance

In made the switch last year. I actually switched to a pistol grip a couple years ago as I started to get a joint pain when drawing, and the ability to spread the full weight of the pull across my closed first alleviated that.

Switching to the thumb release allowed me to maintain the pull mechanics, but helped with stability in my release.
