Sweet spot
I have a 26” draw and I’m on the fence about going with a 23” or 25” oly riser. Of course, I need as much speed as possible to reach 90m. This got me thinking about other sports and the idea that there exists a sweet spot in archery bow lengths relative to draw length. In other sports such as golf there is a sweet spot on the face of the club and length of the club to hit the ball (alike baseball and tennis), springboard diving has a sweet spot where to jump on the board, bowlers have a sweet spot to strike the pins based on many variables, etc. I was wondering if archery has an optimal draw length relative to riser size and limb length? If so, can someone help me out? Sorry if I got any of the analogies messed up for those who play the above mentioned sports.
Riser Limb BowLength Optimal-draw-length?
23” Short 64”
23” Med 66”
23” Long 68”
25” Short 66”
25” Med 68”
25” Long 70”
If there does exist a sweet spot relative to draw length, then what if any difference exist between overlapping bow lengths such as 23” riser, med limbs and 25” riser, short limbs (or 23” riser, long limbs and 25” riser, med limbs)?
Truth be told, I really like this one riser at my local archery shop but it only comes in 25”. It's likely the 23” risers will fit me better (because it doesn't weigh as much and I'm weak), but I will only go with the 23” riser if performance greatly suffers (missing the draw sweet spot on the limbs/bow).
