I measured this (my prefered draw weight) at 26.25" from the button and got 37.5lb (on a spring type fishing scale). I then removed a couple of packers - leaving 2 to give me a heavier draw weight. I managed to shoot with the increased weight but would not want to go much heavier the weight at 26.25" from the button is now 38.25lb. Doing the calculation I get a similar result: 42lb minus 1.75 in of draw = 38.5lb minus a couple of packers = 37.5lb. I need to decide between 36ib limbs and 38ib limbs. I do not want to be over bowed but I do want to get similar or better sight marks. I am swaying towards 36lb Innos as even if my top end weight is correct (38.25lb) I would expect to get similar sight marks as the limbs should be faster. Any/all input much appreciated. (My draw length is 28.25" and I shoot a 68" bow.) Thanks |
Most of the Inno Limbs that I send out from the shop I work out come out bang on the weight marked on the limb, The limbs will feel slightly stiffer than those of the Stylist Limbs, mainly due to the construction/design. But they are going to be much faster in the recovery, thus more speed should be obtained. Sight marks should not get worse, but as with all recurve manufacturers, it will all depend on where they drill and tap the holes for the sight mounting. 2-3mm up or down will give a false reading on the sight mark. But I personally would not worry about sight marks unless I couldn't actually move the sight down any further to hit 90m/100yrds. If you contacted me at the shop I work at ( PM me to find out which, as I do not think this is the right place to promote one shop over another) I will actually measure the weights of different limbs on an Inno handle and try and find the right limb configuration/weight you require.
