Title: What weight and draw length are you shooting?
Post by: S.C. Hunter on October 18, 2019, 09:58:59 PM
Just curious about what is a average draw length and weight inside the group. I am shooting a Robertson StykBow 66" 56#@28" I draw it to 29.5 so I guess I am right around 60 #. Thinking about going to around 50-52 @28"

Also suggestions for a shorter bow that would work with my 29.5" draw. Looking for possibly a Hybrid.

My bow is 55# @ 28" and draw it to 27ish.  So 52-53 lbs maybe?  I've never put it on a scale.  As far as suggestions for a hybrid, the bow is an Ogemaw from Two Tracks Bow Co.  It's 58" and I was a little concerned about finger pinch at that length.  I wanted a 60" bow but Chuck assured me I'd be alright.  He was correct.  He's got a great design and does some great work.  Check em out!

Both of my main hunting bows are 68" long and 53# at 28". I only draw 25", so I guess I am losing between 6 and 9#. This is in the 40's, but I have never used a scale to determine for sure what I'm pulling.

For years I shot 56#@26" but a couple of years ago I went to 46#-48#@26".
I had Mike reduce my Treadway bow from 56# to 47#@26" and it still shoots the same arrows and seems almost the same speed.

28.75" draw, right and left handed, 54-70 inch bows, 40 to 60 @28  draw.

Sarrells Archery and Black River Traditional Bows both make outstanding, smooth, fast and quiet 60" hybrids, and both Bob and Will are great to deal with. They both made takedown hybrid bows for the St. Jude's 'Hope' and 'Faith' pass-along fundraiser , Bob in 2014 and Will in 2015, and those archived threads are in the highlights board with lots of photos and comments.
