Question for Ultratec Shooters

[ExiledTaff]

What length longrod do most of you Ultratec archers use ?

Also, what type do you use, multi-rod or single rod, and do you use the same for indoor and outdoor ?

I use a Beiter 30" indoors and a Cartel 30" outdoors, they are weighted just enough to give me a slight tip forewards of the bow when hung up on a string at its C of G, this gives me the most stable platform for my arrows to leave.

My wife used a Vibracheck Fat Free 32" with a Vibracheck siderod when she used an Ultratec last year.

Indoors I use a 35 inch Beiter. Outdoors a 30 inch Cartel carbon rod, with a 4 inch extender and Doinker A-bomb plus a small end weight.

I love the feel of the Beiter, but find that it catches too much wind outdoors (and indoors too if shooting behind Neil Wakelin).

No side weights.

I use to shoot an Ultra elite (the one with the brac on the sight window) and I alwys used 45" Beiter with no weights on the end. I also used side rods. Gave a good balance.

I found a 41" beiter with one end weight to be the best setup for me. I do think personal feel has a lot to do with it.

30" Beiter and a weight on the end. It feels good without the weight, too but the weight does add some stability during the power stroke.

I used a 41" Beiter with 4 tuners and no weights with 2 10" Beiter short-rods...

However it's down to personal preference what length longrod you use. There is no hard'n'fast rule...

[Marcus26]

Not a critisizm in any way.
I am blown away by the length of stabilizers you guys all use. 41" is incredible.
I always found myself that with a reflex riser they balanced better with a shorter rear weighted rod as teh bows were designed to be used with short hunting stabilizers.
When/If I get my UltraElite back I'll have to put on a 41" Beiter and see how it feels (I have a mate who swears by his on his Old Glory)

I found that on the outback I needed to move the tuners backwards to get the balance right,I have no additional end weights other than a sims mushroom thingy for long rods (very light)

The bow jumps out of my hand before the long rod can pull it down but I found with shorter long rods the bow fought to pull up when drawn, with the longer rods but not too much weight it helps stabalise the bows up and down torque. but it can be a bugger in the wind.

Most people in the UK shoot with 35"+ long rods on fast compounds
