ok.
Why is it bad to under draw Hex series limbs.
If you have a conventional bow thats too long for your draw length, under drawing it is not a problem.
With hex series limbs this can be a problem you didnt expect.
Stack is when your limbs are gaining at a higher rate than average. so if your bow is 40lbs at 28" your bow will be gaining at say an average of 2lbs per inch.
this gives a indication as to what you expect to pull for an easy life in that last inch as you come to anchor.
here is the fun.
If you pull a conventional bow back past its "usefull" draw length you will hit stack. Stack is when you are pulling 2.5lbs in that last inch. and if you look at the DFC graph you will see there the weight is gained. here is one of 2 conventional designs, and one of the hex series.
now, what your looking for is the steepness of the line, the steeper it is, the harder it is to pull. so as you can see, the steepness of the line on a hex series limb at 26"-27" is steeper than the conventional designs, but for a 70" bow, your under pulling it. It was aimed at 29-32" so thats where you want the most level line.
Conventional designs have the flatest point of the graph at 23-24" and this shows that at 26-27" your still running quite flat.
With a hex series limb your still pulling though the power of preload at 23-24, so that the limb can deliver its smooth point at 28" and beyond.
