BTY, doesn't it suck to be left handed?
It took nearly 2 months to get my 82nd when they had right handed models on the rack. My marquis took more than three months. Granted, I did order them in Mossy Oak Obsession, but still. That is a long time to wait for a bow. I heard that only 1 in 30 archers are left handed. I find that hard to believe, but I thought I'd through it out there.
Yeah, it does.
I've been looking at a High Country Speed Pro or Iron Mace, but apparently they don't make a left handed bow...or at least nobody seems to have one.
Just switch,that's what I did!!!
There are a few things that come into play on why a LONGER a-t-a bow is more forgiving, a lot of it is in the riser, but you can get better forgiveness out of a parallel limb bowthan other wise, I think it's in part due to the deflection of the limbs, but also because of the longer riser. The longer riser will be slightly less affected by torque vs. a short riser or shorter a-t-a. But that's only a part of it. When you get into shooting a SHORT a-t-a, the string angle, and cams are completely different as well, and that also plays into it. TFox or one of the guys who's a "staff shooter" I'm sure can add much more than my measely $.02 is worth though.
But for me personally, I have the bows in my signature, and I find that the Trykon XL is much, much, much more forgiving than my Highlander, even though their a-t-a's are the same, but I have an older Hoyt "Franken-bow," a Striker/Striker II mixed bow that has a 38.5 a-t-a and is a single cam set-up, and it's more forgiving than my Highlander as well, but not quite as forgiving as my Trykon XL.
