These are custom made braces so I can walk normally again, so I can hunt this year, if I can find a bow to do so with. 36" minimum draw, but looking for 40" or so. Getting stronger, but you take longer to overcome a lost eye.

Post by: halfseminole on September 01, 2015, 08:46:00 PM: 44" is my max, try that one on.

The braces are Allard Toe-Offs with a custom bit of kit above the knee to constrain motion and deal with the worst case of knock knee he had ever seen. The right leg has a click when extending the leg, how to shut that up before the woods?

I think he's referring to draw weight.

Prayers still being sent up for you.

And I'm pretty sure he meant draw length.

Post by: halfseminole on September 02, 2015, 02:14:00 PM: Sean B is hooking me up with an old 40# 66" Hoyt, and I'll be pulling 30" with it. It's a chance to heal, expand my abilities and get out there without wheels or shotgun (every time, hunting with dad's shotgun is tradition) and just keep at it.

I have 125 gr heads and field points and a sheaf of black uncut feathers, but no more gear for American trad besides my wife's 28# bow. Any idea where to start?

I'm not leaving the Asian stuff, but my left arm needs to heal more. Those bows ain't light.
