If 54# then he probably is using the 50# limbs drawn past 28". The next limb weights are 55# but his draw in longer than 28" according to those who know him.

30 or 31in it's all relative, but I have seen him shoot and have shot with him numerous times and he normally uses 31in arrows and I am pretty sure he is actually drawing about 30in on his bows.  But either way, he has a longer draw then normal and gets more energy from that.
I would just about guarantee he is using the 50# limbs on his bows and just adjusts the limb bolts to get 54# at his draw.

Ok fellas... I just found his 2 Austrailian episodes..... During the "better bow hunting with Chuck Adams" segment Fred states that he is shooting a heavier recurve then he normally does and a heavier arrower then he does normally. I'd still like to know what his true setup was.

Somebody call him and get him to answer. I think he's a member here.

I lost his number    ;)   or I'd do it.

Fred Eichler is a member here? I would love to somehow see if I could get an autographed pic for my 15 year old son. My son loves everything about Fred Eichler. He even has a list together so he can save up to shoot the exact setup that Fred shoots....

On "masters of the barebow 2" Fred says that he shoots 54# on everything in north America. He feels it's the perfect bow weight for him as he can hold it for a period of time if necessary. He was also shooting Easton 400 Axis shafts and muzzy phantoms...(gee, go figure that one). Of course at that time he was also shooting a Palmer takedown recurve.
