Moab ?

[Tom L]

Been looking at bows for a while and because of all I have read on Trad Gang I think it will be a Moab. Now for the questions. I draw 28" should I go with a 60" or 62"? I have read here that the 60" out performs the 62" is that right? Will finger pinch be a problem with the 60" bow? With a Moab 50# @ 28" what carbon shaft would work best for elk?

Thanks.
Tom

No i have a 29 inch draw and the 60" is perfect.shafts 3555 with about 250-300 up front.

Awesome decision!  I pull 27" and my MOAB is 53 @ 28".  My arrows are 30" AD Trad Lites with 200 gr up front.

I can't do a comparison, having only shot a 62", but it was as smooth as silk.

I have a 62" moab right now (wife thinks its hers) and i had a 60"er also for awhile. Not that the 60"er wasn't smooth but the 62" is definitely smoother. I traded off the 60"er for a centaur and don't regret it but the 62"moab  has a permanent home here. That being said, If i was ordering another one today i would still order a 60" but i could tell the difference with the longer bow.

Most that have shot both will tell u the 60 is the best length for that design...... fastest ...less hand shock(not that either have any)....quieter.... and even in the category of smoothness. ....both on the draw and release.

U can do a search and find out for yourself as the 60 os overwhelmingly preferred.

No....u wont have a problem with pinch at all.

Even Jim will tell ya.

Great bows.

I've had 58", 60", and 62"... Only own 60" now...

Great bows, great design...

I draw 28", and prefer the 60 over the 62.  I had both and ended up selling the 62".  It's a great bow.  I shoot 3 under and finger pinch iss not a problem for me.  I second trying a GT3555 if you get a 50# bow.

I actually prfer the 62 and have a BEAUTY for sale in the classifieds.   BILL

I've had all 3, 58",60", and 62".  I guess I'm not as sensitive as most because I can't really notice a diff between them.  I currently have a 58" and a 60".  I can't tell a diff.  They're all great bows and like to hit where you're looking.  Not fancy, just a good shooting bow.  Hard to beat.

Felix, Thunderstick Archery is a TG sponsor with a banner at the top of Pow Wow here.

I'll admit be being on a bit of a longbow buying "spree" as of late....don't tell my wife though! Picked up 2 MOAB's and they are both excellent shooters. Look, feel, and shoot top notch!

Thanks

if your drawing to 28 you can eassily shoot both but for a tad more smoothness get the 62"  as for speed maybe the difference is 1 fps @ 1" shorter on each limb.

I love 60" recurves and 62" longbows so I'm bias I guess.
