I think Archie hit the nail on the head, and that's where your discrepancy is.... just because a bow is marked 50@28" doesn't mean it actually is 50 @ 28".

measure both bows the same from the deepest part of the grip & add 1.75" That is what your draw length is....

There are HUGE differences in bow performance across the board. Long bows can be just as high in performance as recurve bows if they are designed properly..... Saying recuvre bows are typically faster than long bows is like saying cars are typically faster than trucks.... It's ridiculous....

Well, fast cars are typically faster than fast trucks (wink).
