I have a question regarding what draw length nececcitates the move up (or move down for that matter) from a 68" bow to a 70" bow.
Current set up is Hoyt HPX 25" with long Formula excel limbs, just increased the pountage to 36.5lbs on my fingers through the clicker. Arrows are ACC (need to check what exact spine) but within the recommended group at 29.5" draw length, and they come out of the bow and shoot well.
Tried to get a sight mark at 100yds last night without any luck, arrows falling short, even when aimimg at the clouds above the target.
I know the ideal answer is, new lighter arrows, possible heavier limbs, but I am working back from a shoulder injury and cant really go above 36/37lbs at the moment and dont have the funds for a new set of ACE's or X10's (also tried some 520 spine ACE's last night and still just low on the target - so dont see that as a solution)
So looking on all the FB selling sites and the usual second hand market locations, i am finding some 'Medium' limbs available, Quattro's and F7's which I know are 'Faster' limbs that my entry level Excel's but I have always shot with a 70" bow (long limbs).
Any thoughts on the Pro's Con's of reducing the bow length, string angle, nock pinch etc are welcomed - basically I need more speed from the limbs, will I get away with medium limbs ?
