Bear A handle and #1 limbs
« on: August 10, 2009, 09:28:00 PM »
Anyone ever shoot that combo with a long draw (30")? I did with a set of 2B's and they stacked bad over 28". I have a set of 65# on an A but they are stouter than I can handle for more than a shot or two.
Anyone with experience with the 56" combination and a 30" draw, using the older limbs?
I always figured if you could shoot a K Mag with minimal stack at 30, the 56" TD should work too, but so far I haven't seen it.

Ken, I shoot an A-handle with no. 1 47lbs white tips and have a 30 1/2`` draw. I do`nt notice any stack.  Are you going to NE trad Archery shoot on Labor day weekend?

I don't have it scheduled but probably should. .Too many "Huny Dues" just before bow season. Hate to have them get in the way after 9/15

I've lamented over this same issue. I have a number of limbs and I bought several that are No. 1s. I have a 30" draw with a 2r grip. And I've had several sets that no longer have good cast, probably due to overdrawing (but not by me). All of these were #1s except a set of 52lb #2s.  
Last weekend I went out and checked all of my #1s with both an A and B riser that I still own. I much prefer to shoot an A riser as they are much lighter. But I worry that I might be doing damage to the shorter limbs. Unfortunately my B mag riser seems to have fitting problems with most of my Grayling limbs, which is real surprising to me but a different issue. The best that I can tell I didn't see any real stacking on the three sets that I had out there with the A riser; red tip 42lb, red tip 50lb, blue tip 60lb, all #1. I shoot pretty heavy arrows and I think that alone will stop damage at least up to 30.5 or so. On the 50@28 I shot a full length 32.5 340 with 300 grains up front. Just for comparison my 49@28 60" SAIII shoots a 31 to 31 1/4 340 with 300 grains up front.
Next I'm going to just simply take the stuff down to the local indoor and check the limbs on a scale and really see if there is any stacking at all to 30 and where they really do start to stack.
But just to be safe, shoot heavy arrows.
