hoyt buffalo lenght

[canuck4570]

after 4 months I have received my hoyt buffalo
ordered the 62 inches model but when measuring the bow tip to tip its only 57 inches

on the hoyt site they say available in 60 or 62 inches

on the limbs its mark short and below its mark SN L and a serial number

how to I confirm this bow is a 62 inches.....
forgot to mentioned the string says 57 inches

It's a 60" for sure.  AMO string length is 3" short of the bow length.

I am mad they gave me the wrong bow....

"Short" limbs make a 60" bow.  "Medium" limbs make a 62" bow.

thanks guys,
I don't want to wait another 4 months for a buffalo

any suggestions on what I should get

after reading on trad during the wait I noticed that most of you guys have one piece wood recurve there must be a reason....

thanks for the help...

Where did you buy it from? They can't just exchange the limbs for med limbs?

[canuck4570]

yes I could but don't want to wait 4 months again....

Go on the classifieds here with a post to swap short for medium. That's how I picked up a pair of Buffalo limbs a couple of years ago. Or go on Archery Talk, Classifieds, FITA section and look for some F series limbs for sale. They come up often.

What you want to do may not happen overnight and you will need a little patience.
