I've recently acquired a few Thunderchilds, silky smooth draw is an understatement! I won't even try to understand the physics, but my draw is almost 30" and the 56" handles it with ease... I just got a 58" and it is almost to smooth... Makes me think I could go to a 54", but I'd have to ask Jim on that one...
Awesome hunting bow, has all the requirements I need... short, quiet, smooth, dead in the hand at the shot, stable, and plenty of performance. The 2-piece option is a real plus too! The 56" Thunderchild is 7" shorter then my beloved 62" Shawnee longbow when they are layed next to each other strung... 7"!
These little performers made me do a lot of rethinking...
