Question for you Kanati owners
« on: November 05, 2011, 06:54:00 PM »
Here's my delima. I draw a true 29 1/4" so I ordered a 60" Kanati that should be here by February or so and I find myself second guessing my choice as to weather I should have gone with a slightly more manuverable 58". For any long draw shooters out there with Kanati experience what would you do? Jason recommends the 58" up to 29.5" (and I'm not second guessing you Jason) but I'm really looking for a smooth, stack free draw at my 29 1/4" and since it's close to the 58" recommended limit that's why I chose the 60". For any long draw shooters out there with Kanati experience what would you do?
I guess I'm also curious since there's only an aditional 1" on each limb end would I really even notice a difference between 58" and 60"?

Thanks to any and all.

Maneuvering wise, it is only an inch on each tip, but myself I would go for the smoothness.  Talk to Jason tho, he wants you happy and will give you honest input.

You went right with 60in. at your draw . I draw 28in and shot 58in. which was very smooth but tried outa 56in. and it drew stiffer . 60in. should be perfect at your draw .

I bought a 58", and I draw 29". No stacking, and smooth as silk.

I'm drawing 29 1/2 " with a 58" kanati and I'm not feeling any stacking. Smooth all the way out! Would the 60" be smoother? Maybe. Don't know. Like stated before. Its only an inch on each end and as far as maneuverability I don't think it will mean much at all. Now understand this is coming from a guy that managed to get a 56" shrew between my legs at full draw and smacked the hell outa my knee and hit the stand with the bottom limb! LOL

Get the 60...you will be glad you did.

Dont forget it's about 4" shorter when strung...you can shoot it out of blinds NO problem.
