Can you Pika owners tell me how they compare? Am I going to be ok with a 29" draw on the 56" Pika?
CALL DAN!. He will set you straight on his bows. He is honest and will tell you what you NEED to know and not what you WANT to hear.
Dan told me that the 56" Pika won't stack till past 30" but the string angle will be getting pretty tight for someone with about a 29" draw. He wasn't trying to talk me out of it, but I got the impression the Whip was a better choice for those of us with long draws. I've been resisting a 64" whip HS T/D for years but I'm getting awfully weak! ;)
The Pika has the HS limbs so I would say it should be the same as a Whip with HS limbs just a shorter version.
I just got mine today and after shooting only a few arrows, I would say it is as quiet as a Whip. Very solid feeling at the release with no vibration or hand shock. It only has a slight "ping" at the release, which can be eliminated with a bit of experimentation with brace and arrow weight. If you are on the fence, I would say go for it. I love mine so far.
