We should have a full compliment of bows with us at the High Country Shoot this year.

Those are pretty decent numbers from a 45# bow @ 28" draw John.  Congrats brutha.   :clapper:

I've always got my best numbers from 51-53# or higher draw weights.

Kirk,  thanks for the kind words.

9 grains per pound has always tested the same for me in draw weight ranges from 35# to 70#.  I've never seen any difference in AMO arrow speeds as long as the grains per pound were precisely the same.

Any comments on the noise level with this new limb? I have had the 4G and have the CG model and can get them hunting quiet easily.

Recommended brace with your ILF and the trad tech pictured riser is the same tested? If so the increased vertical stability at lower brace is most welcome.

Any DFC available?

Recommended limb length on a 17" DAS 29" draw?

Thanks.

Katman,

Yep John set the limbs up in the middle of the recommended brace on each riser.

For the 17" DAS and 29" I'd go with XL limbs.

Really?  That's incredible John. I've always had problems getting the same speeds at lower draw weights even keeping a close eye on core to glass ratio.... The lower preload on the lighter weight limbs was my prime suspect...  

Good on you bro...   :thumbsup:

We're these 215,000 dry fires, actual shots, draw-let down?...and...did the limb fail at 215,000 or is that just where you stopped the test?

Thanks

They are draw cycles.  Draw to 30" and let down.  The limbs were still perfect after the test and I sent them to John for his use this year.

The first one is a 17" riser and the long limbs for a 62", the 5th is a 21" with longs for a 66" and the last one is a 19" with longs for a 64".

How do these differ from the A&H ACS at the same weight and length?

I was wondering what limb length for a 28 1/4" draw using either a 15" or 13" riser?

Sam,

Your shortest limb would be a Medium on the 17" riser.

Dan,

For your draw you would need and XL on the 15" and XXL on the 13".  I wouldn't really recommend the 13" riser combo unless you have your heart set on that short of a riser.
