After a long layoff I've recently got back into archery. I'm using a bow which isn't exactly the correct length for me.
I'm drawing 26.5" arrow and my bow is 68". From charts I've looked at, 27" arrow seems to be at the short end of arrows suitable for a 68" bow
My limbs are just fibreglass and wood and I want to get carbon limbs so I plan to get short limbs to make a 66" bow.
With my present limbs at 34lbs OTF I can manage to reach 90m/100yds so I have to expect that carbon limbs should also be able to achieve that. I don't want to go to heavier limbs.
I'm wondering what differences I'll feel going from medium limbs to short limbs?
I understand the 'pinch angle' will be slightly tighter but I can't imagine that should be that much noticeable?
I feel that at my draw length I'm not bringing my 68" limbs up to their potential and that 66" limbs should be "a better fit" for me?
Open to opinions.
