No here checked all of that. As a matter of fact he was pulling that bow 29 to 29.5 inches draw. Right now I have a Shakesphere x 18 45 lb bow ,and a Browning Nomad that is 45 lbs. Same draw length. I checked the weights at 28 in draw, and they are 45lbs, each. I have chronied every bow I own including all my self bows, and backed bows. His bow is a Shakesphere. With the same 10 strand B55 string, and brace ,and tuned with a bare shaft ,same arrow the browning Nomad shoots on average 10 fps faster, smoother to draw, and no stack,. Both bows are 52 inches long. It is just a better design,and a better bow over all. The only glass bow that has failed me over the years was a Shakesphere Kaibab. My brother also broke one. We shot them hard for 2 years. They both broke at the fades on the top limb. Not a fan of that company.
