No I only draw 26". It draws smooth out to 28-29 though but I take the chance of loosing an ear when I draw that far haha

Probably one of the flattest shooting bows I've made. Super quiet too with very little if any hand shock. Chronoed it at 191fps with 9gpp and 186 fps with 10 gpp both finger reslease at 50@26
That's unbelievable fast at just 26". Better than many top commercial long bows. Are there any carbon in the limbs? Wonder what makes this one so fast.
One common complaint for hybrid limbs with lots of reflex at brace is they tend to be noodly and lack vertical stability. Some tend to flap and vibrate after the shot and are very sensitive to release errors. Do you find this the case with this bow?
Gues ya`ll need some reflex at brace to avoid it stacking at few inches- it is only 56" long- what makes the biggest slice of tha speed pie I think^^
(not even long for a recurve...)
I did put a strip of carbon under the back veneer so that contributes to stability and some gained performance and I also trapped it to reduce the weight which also contributed to stability by making the belly wider than the back. I normally shoot lefty but have had no problems with accuracy or hand shock. Shoots very flat out to 30 yds (farthest I've shot so far) but the added reflex in the tips is what allows for the longer draws in the shorter limbs and IMO adds to the performance factor as well. Thanks for all the compliments y'all
