I just set mine up with some TT longbow limbs making it 66". It is a real shooter but after shooting 52" to 60" HOOTS bows that thing feels pretty massive. I havent found that magical quiet set-up either. I'm sure it would be fine but "when its not broke don't fix it" kicks in, right now its a target machine!

I have two 21 inch Hoyt Excels.  My first was the standard black riser, so I ordered a blackout one a couple of months back.  Both have med TT limbs on them, one the carbon/woods, the other glass/woods. Bows are 64 inches.  I just   recently got to shoot the blackout riser with the 45# wood/glass limbs and it shoots really good.  Bow "feels" like its pulling in the upper forties as far as poundage.  I have limbsavers at the fades on both pair of limbs and catwhiskers on the D-97 strings, bows are very quiet.  Bows seem to like bh at 8 1/4 to 8 1/2. I draw about 28.5 inches.  A 29 inch CE Heritage 150 with 125 grain point bareshafts perfect, so does a 30 inch GT Trad 5575 with 200 grains up front.  Unless something changes, this Excel is what I will be hunting with this fall. I have some pics, but don't do photobucket. Sorry.
