Kodiak Mag @ 30" draw?
« on: January 08, 2010, 05:24:00 PM »
Shot a Kodiak Mag the other day, seemed to shoot well wondering how many others hunt with a Kodiak Mag with a 30" or more draw and what are your experiences shooting that bow at that length?

IMO it's not a good idea.  It can be done, but it's over-stressing the bow, lots of finger pinch, and it's going to be about as forgiving as an ex-mother-in-law.

At 29" I am still able to shoot them pretty well up to 30 Yards.

Oh wow, those Mags make an awesome bang when a limb gives way!

At my 30" draw, I realised earlier this year (after a fair few years of expensive experimenting...) that 60" is as short as I can safely go with a bow. It may take a couple of years to go, but at some point a short bow will let go on you at full draw. usually when there's a crowd of onlookers.
