Title: Anybody shoot a 54" Thunderchild at 29"
Post by: Bob Abeln on January 22, 2015, 06:29:00 PM
Will it work at a 29" draw? How are they for speed, quietness, smoothness etc? Thanks, Bob

I believe Big Jim would be the one to ask. Always has been very helpful.

I shoot one that is 60 @ 28.( I draw 28 )  
I love it, but maybe you should ask the 3 little pigs that are ( were, I've eaten most of them ) in my freezer from last time I went hunting.

I think it can be done, I'm sure the poundage might influence it some.  I can tell you with certainty that the 56" eats a 29" draw beautifully and then some.

Speed-  very good, upper middle I'd say.  

Quietness-  tuned they are superbly quiet with 10gpp.

Smoothness-  one of the smoothest short r/d longbows available.  Just a lovely linear pull.

Love my thunderchild.  Fantastic bow.  I shoot a 58" bow but it is the quietest bow I have shot with a 10gpp arrow hands down.

I have a 56" that is so smooth @29" that I don't see any problem with the 54" but Big Jim will tell you.

Imo guys who say short bows are hard to shoot haven't tried a TC.  They are sweet little bows.  Remarkably quiet and solid performers.

Not an issue at all!  My Snakewood T/C is smooth at a tad over 29" draw!  No stacking for me!
