can the 60" inch bows be drawn to 29" with out any problems like stack or pinching. and should older bows like 65 or 66 be drawn that far. thanks for your input

I draw 29 1/2 and shoot my 60"kodiaks and super kodiaks all the time.

The bows will handle 29", it's just that the standard for measuring weight is set at 28".
I have numerous old bows that I shoot regularly. This past Sunday I shot 3 or 4 dozen arrows with my '56 Kodiak Special, trying to tune the twang out of it. Later, I picked up a '60 Kodiak Special and shot several dozen with it. I would just be carefull the first time that I pick up an older bow. Check it over looking for slight delaminations or defects. I like to flex them a bit, half draw and shoot, and after a little while just go for it and shoot normally. I haven't had one come unglued yet.

As I remember, the old catalogues stated "Draw length unlimited"
