Im shooting a 75# RX-1 with 80# limbs at nearly 30” draw and that thing is aggressiveeee. Wondering if i should drop to 70# or stick to 75/80# limbs for my new rig because i know the new cam systems and setups are much smoother and more forgiving. Now im wondering if this bigger ATA bow i wanted to get into would be bad for us who saddle hunt, any thoughts on this?

Would be interesting to know how ½" more brace height affects forgiveness of the bow. Like does 33 have better accuracy with fixed blade BH when you're cold, stiff and shooting in odd angle. Can you do like saddle shooting comparison between 29 and 33 with a fixed BH.
@andrewyoder882 жыл бұрын
The difference between shooting a 29 inch and a 33 inch is how it fits you. For example a person with let's say a 30 inch draw that's shooting the 29 inch bow won't have as much forgiveness for him as the 33 inch bow. The string angle would be steeper for him on the 29 inch therefore it might not feel right at full draw and also the nock travel distance from point of release to point of leaving the string would be a little further. Now an experienced archer with maybe a 28 inch draw could shoot both bows and you would see minimal to zero difference in the shot groups. There are other people that can explain this better but this is my take. As far as saddle hunting the 29 inch bow will be more maneuverable
@smau9902 жыл бұрын
It doesn't matter if person is 28" or 30" draw higher brace height will be more forgiving to errors, question is how much. Just as well, would be interesting to see saddle shots with 33 and where the size limits useability.

I had the same problem with mine but all I did was move the rest in the way I wanted the broadheads to go, but only move it in very very small increments because you don’t want to move where the field tips are hitting. There’s a few videos on broadhead tuning that I found that were a huge help. My broadheads were hitting about 3 inches left at 40 and I moved the rest about 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch to the right and they started touching the field tips. I hope that helps.
