Would like to state that the only bow that I have moved which I sincerely miss is my 62” Centaur DM T/D…moved it in order to fund a NZ hunt.
I draw approximately 28”s and loved my 62”r. The DM 58”r, at the same approximate draw weight and same grip was amazingly nearly as smooth. Twice after a moderate session, when practicing at short range, I didn’t realize that I had the 58”r in hand instead of the 62”. The personally significant draw back was restricted to both my accuracy and consistency with the 58”r. Twenty yards was my limitation and at 25 yards, most often, my groups were far less than desirable. My competence level, accuracy and consistency extended to 50 yards with the 62’r…DOUBLE!
Effective hunting ranges constantly change as dictated by the complete hunting scenario including the animal’s current demeanor and the hunter’s stress level. My effective hunting ranges and how I setup are significantly closer than my personal competency levels on the range. The 58”r was providing me too many restrictions and lack of confidence.
Please try to absorb my experience as what it is?... An individual’s experience that is obviously not shared by all.
