I'm looking hard at a purchase and just considering the merits of riser length vs limb length. I have a 29 draw and want the shortest bow with the most comfortable shooting while in ground set ups..sitting and kneeling.

thanks!

I shot a PCH wondering if I would like it better than my PSA. If you shoot upright you may not have enough site window. I was looking at the upper limb bolt (made it tough to aim)

Can only advise you to listen to the bowyer.

I am quite positive that BW would have offered an extended draw range if they believed it to be the overwhelming norm.

The 58" PSA's recommended range max's out at 29"

The 58" PCH's recommended range max's out at 30".

I debated the same thing before purchasing my bw. I did the test drive with a psa and fell in love.I never did shoot a pch. I shoot with a verticle bow and have heard of the sight window being a little on the short side for some, but some dont have a problem with it. I would test drive a pch and if you run into a problem with the sight window you would probably be better with a psa. No problems at all with psa sight window.

I shot both and went with the psa , just about the most perfect recurve ive owned . The pch shot good but kind of seem to be a little harder to shoot as accurate than the psa for me .

Thanks for all the responses, guys!

I may have to find a way to shoot them both side by side some day.

Stay warm!

Here is the PMA,PSA, AND PCH. I have a 29" draw, and the PCH is 58" long.  I have no problem with the sight window or finger pinch.

I love widows.  My favorite is still the PMA.  My buddy has a PSA and he really wants the PCH.  To each his own!
