American Archery Cheetah
« on: June 20, 2014, 12:24:00 AM »
Hello guys, its been a long time, glad to be back.  Wanted to see if anyone has any info on these bows, just picked up one in fantastic shape, $100.  66#, 45#, 1961 production I think.  Any idea what the brace height would be?  Also, I have a 29.5" draw.  any idea of what spine arrows to shoot?  This is the lowest pound bow I have ever had, no idea!

I had one. 64" and 60# @28".  I  liked it a lot.  I thought it was a very shootable bow.  I ended up passing it on to my son. He still has it as his one and only bow.

Don't have it around soI can't measure it but I  think it was in the 7-8" brace height.

I believe I'd start with a 31" 3555 GT Trad and point tune. If too weak, trim off 1/2" and point tune. At 31" and 29.5 draw I'd start with a 125gr point.

I'm presuming it's 66 inch and not 66 pounds. I'd try  7" brace and go up to 8.5 in trying to find the right BH. Not sure on the BH though, hence the range suggested.

Throw up some pics if you can. Some of those Cheetahs are real lookers.
