I think which ever set that is drawn closest to the stacking point will be faster.In this case it should be the short limbs.Any variation in lamination material strength could void that theory however.

Irish is correct.                       Grant

I'm getting on board with shortest - longest.  Starting with 56" being the quickest and the 62" being the slowest with a max of 8 fps difference between them all.

Old wisdom says shorter is faster, but I'm pretty sure that they've found the longer BW limb combos to be faster, or so I recall hearing. So, 62", then 60", then 58", then 56".
I use to think the same way,   :smileystooges:   short limbs would bend more and therefor store more energy, wrong     :knothead:

It will be 62,60,59,56 and if you had a 64&66 they would be faster still.

I'm going strictly on how the limbs performed for me (no chrono, just what I felt) I think they will be:  60, 58, 62, 56.  No particular reason, except this the order that I like the limbs in with my 30" draw...Mike

I'll bet on the 58" at 28" draw.,,Cause that's what I use.............

I think that on the sa riser the 60" will be the fastes followed by the 62- 58 about the same speed and 56" will be the slowest limb .I think the 60" limb would load about right on the sa riser.

My guess is the 58" limbs are the fastest. I think that when you get shorter than that, you get to the point of diminishing returns. Longer than that, you have more energy used up in the longer limb design. Probably wrong, but that's my guess.

I'm just happy to be here!

The longest will be the fastest, the shortest will be the slowest.

:D   The longer the limbs, the more energy stored

Time to see the efficiency numbers and speeds!  :)
