Title: 56" PCH
Post by: DanielB89 on December 05, 2015, 09:30:00 PM

Do any of you guys that have around a 29" draw shoot a 56" PCH?  I am about to receive one in a trade and would like to see what others have experienced.  According to black widows site, it says I would need the 58 or 60" limbs, but I know that some times those are kind of conservative numbers.  

My draw length is 29.5".  But I could probably shorten it a little to 28.5 by anchoring in the corner of mouth.

Thanks for your replies.

I have found that with Black Widow recurves (and other reverse bows with high grips) my draw is almost 29" whereas I draw 27.5 with my PL II.  If you got 58" limbs I doubt there would be a happier archer on earth than you, after you after the first few arrows with a 58" PCH.  I have a 60" too, and it is a little bit more accurate, but the 58" is very powerful and is still a great shooter.

If the 56" winds up too short for you and it is 49 -54# I might be interested but I wish you success with it. I only draw 26.5" and 56" is what Black Widow recommends for stubby draws like mine.
God's Peace

Graybeard beat me to it with his offer.  I doubt you will encounter a shortage of folks wanting to help you out with your situation.

that is one of the reasons I accepted the trade even knowing it may not work out.  

I figured i could turn it over kind of quick!

im right at 29" and have shot a 56" just fine. that said though, my 58" recurve is the most comfortable and my go to bow 99% of the time.

My friend had a BW ( don't remember which model) his was 56" and I draw about 29". I could feel it start to stack and get stiff maybe .5" to .75" from my anchor.

I believe you would like the 58" and up a lot better. I own 2 BW a MA and a PSA both 62" and love them.

56" PCH is short for a 29+" draw. I think you will be much happier with the 58". I draw a tad over 28" and my 58" PCH was as smooth as butter!

The Black Widow team's recommendations are most reliable.
