I have a 31" draw and I can shoot some of them but u have to be real conscious of my grip on the string when I draw and the draw weight can't be more then mid forties at 28". I only use mine for hunting from a ground blind and chasing bunnies in the brush. Everything else I use 64"

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

54" Thunder Child by Big Jim, 58" Sas SS Static Tip by Kirk at Big Foot, 58" Centaur Dark Matter by Jim Neaves, and 58" Kempf Kwyk Styk - all shoot much better than I am capable of shooting them at a tad over 29" draw.

All smooth and efficient with proper arrow set-up!

Fun bows to shoot and great bowyers!   :thumbsup:

What arrow shafts are you using Big Jim? My draw is right around 32". Arrow charts really aren't even close. I get the stiffest and longest. Most Carbon shafts are on the verge of to short. My riser is scratched up from broad heads hitting. I do have a habit of sinking in to my anchor and that doesn't help. If I draw straight back I'm ok.
I gave up trying to find wood shafts that work. Until I make my own footed.
