Title: Big Jim Buffalo 60" 29" draw
Post by: Dennyd on March 13, 2016, 05:50:00 PM
Does anyone shoot a 60" Buffalo with a 29" or so draw?

They bow would probably do it, but I think a 64" be better.

My son shoots a 64" Buffalo with his 29" draw. It was the length that Big Jim recommended for his draw length.

Trying to see what draw length people have with a 60" buffalo. Is 29" ok?

I think you'd be happier with a 58" Thunderchild.

I agree here.  Its always best to go to the source.  I think you will be alright with a 29 inch draw on a  60 inch bow but a quick message to Jim will be answered to the point within a day or so.

Big Jim said I could get by with a 60" but recommended a 62" buffalo with a 29" draw. I was just hoping someone had a 60" with at least a 29" draw to see how it performed

Don't think you'd get better advice than what big Jim says. He's made, and sold, alot of those bows.

As for individuals, you'll get just that. Some folks with a 29" draw might like it, some won't. Jim'll tell you what they're designed for, and he talks straight.

I like the 62 incher as well.I have had two 62s" and two 64" Buffalo's.I draw a bit over 29".I highly recommend the 62 incher.Real crisp shooter.Limbs dampen out really nice!Excellant overall performance.
