Curious as to what length you folks are shooting with a 27" draw length? Thanks for your help.

From their "Our Bows" page...

Draw Length

The 58" and 60" bow lengths work well out to 28". The 62” bow is optimized for all draw lengths up to 29”. The 64” bow is smooth up to a 31” draw length. The 66” limb set has proven to operate well beyond that.

I draw 27" and have the 64" limbs. They give you the highest performance at any given draw length according to the guys at A@H.

I am however thinking about trying a set of 60"ers.

I have a 27" draw. I own a 62" and a 66" ACS. The 66" for me is by far the smoothest between the two. I had a 64" that was very close in performance to the 66".

The longer limbs will likely perform the best...however, shorter limbs make a bow easier to use for hunting purposes, especially if you hunt out of a ground blind or tree stand.

Like nearly everyone in trad archery, my drawlength is not perfect every shot.  It's 28" or a tad less, depending . . .

I spoke with John Havard, the "H" in A&H before buying my ACS.  He advised me to buy the 16" RC riser with their 64" limbs; that makes a 66" bow.

It's great.  My 50# bow with 315 grain arrows clocks in at 206 feet-per-second.  I think Mr. Havard was right.

My 66" is the RC riser with 64"/50#. The other riser I have is the standard 14". I recently sold the 62"/57# limbs I had on the standard and I'm looking to pick up a set of shorter limbs. Ive been researching the hell out of it, but haven't made my decision yet. I'm thinking 60"/40#. I want something short but I want to be as comfortable to shoot as the 66"/50#. Thats why Im looking to drop 10#. Cant find much info here on the 60" or less ACS 3 pieces...... Im hopeing someone will chime in.

I have a 58" with 40# and 45# set of limbs. I also have a 62" with 43# limbs. The 62" is the best performer.

I draw 27" and I like the new to me 62" limbs over the 64" I had.Normally I like alittle longer bow like 64" and 66" but the 62" ACS limbs on my 14" riser just seem to fit me better.

My draw is 27" and I shoot both the 64" 1 pc and 62" 3 pc ACS; both lengths work very well for me.

I agree with Lefty and A.S., 64" is the way to go for me.
