I have a new to me schafer from the classifieds here on tradgang. It has the 17" riser with the 62" limbs and is marked 70# @29 although it doesn't feel like it. It seems kind of slow compared to my 58" schafer, would the long limbs with the short riser make any difference in speed? I am going to take it to the local shop and make sure of the draw weight.
I have a 17" riser / 62" overall length Schafer (58#'s at my DL).
It doesn't LOOK faster than my 60" limbs (same riser) that make a 52# bow (again at my DL).
Chrono'd.....it's 10fps faster.
Unless you have a dandy trad shop....I doubt they'll be able to accurately check your Draw Weight.
Also....Ar eboth of your 'Tips FF compatible?
Yes they are both F.F compatable. Thanks for the post.
This bow is 68# at my draw with carbon in the limbs. The bow that I was comparing it to was 70# at my draw. This bow is so smooth. I had to check the draw weight because it sure didn't feel like 68#. It is a great bow.
I've got the short(15") riser and long limbs-60" bow 64@28. The longer limb makes for a smoother draw. It will shoot faster than the other setup, all other things being the same-arrows, DL, etc. You will like the short/long combo.
Thanks guys.
