No!They are faster because you bend a different part of the limb. no less forgiving.
The other apparent advantage is they gain they weight more rapidly when you are drawing, so you may get an extra Lb closer to its max draw with the same draw length - I'm not sure about this though.
Again no! The draw weight for a set of limbs on a 2 inch shorter riser will be 2lbs increase across the whole of the draw curve, and they will draw further before stacking occurs compared to a shorter set of limbs on a long riser |
There was an interesting discussion about compound forgiveness somewhere, the conclusion being that what really affected it was the distance between the grip and the end of the limb tip at full draw. Would that imply greater forgiveness for a shorter limb that will probably bend further?
