Bear used to advertise their bow's draw length as unlimited so it should be safe at yours. I'm guessing the warranty is up though.

I've been kicking around picking an older one up to play with; (I've really enjoyed that Grizzly; kind renewed my interest in archery, was getting burned out on the compound) I'm thinking I might wait until I've got some time under my belt first though. Anyways, from what I've read it sounds like they start to stack around 29 - 29.5" and I'm just a smidge over 29" so you might want to do what I'm going to try and do - see if you can find someone's to try first.    ;)

I draw 29 - 29.5 and I love how my Kody Mag handles and shoots, but after 28" I can definitely feel the bow stack. I've never scaled it past 28, but it's 53@28 and once I hit my anchor it feels like another 5 lbs getting added. All and all though, get bows   :thumbsup:

I have a K Mag and it's a 53#@ 28" too.

My scale shows 58# @ 29" but it only jumps three more pounds @ 30". The scale reads 61# @ 30".

I have an older one and I also have a 30" draw.  I short arm mine.  I would say around 28 was max.
