Frame for Curved back

[Hardly_Hangin]

So i did the test where you stick your hand behind your back against the wall, and i could fit my whole fist and then some. Does that mean i should only consider frames that have curved stays? Will anything flat be uncomfortable to me?

The two curved back options ive found in my research were SG and kifaru - am i missing one?

I was looking hard at the MR metcalf - but their frame is pretty flat looking.

with your back having that much curve the xcurve or duplex lite with curved stays are your best options. It does not mean flat won’t work, but under load the curved will be more comfortable and stay in place better.

x curve stays cannot be adjusted for contour, kifaru aluminum stays can be adjusted for contour. my mr guide lite is a straight back design. If you have a short torso a curved stay may not be best for you regardless of the wall test result.

I have kind of what you're describing and the SG X-Curve feels great on my back.

I probably have a similar back profile to you. I had the exo but moved away from it as I couldn't get the fit quite right (would always slip down my back and ride on the top of my ass even with only 30-40 lbs). I'm in a Kifaru with curved stays now and it fits my back much better.

Got to try on an SG x frame today and the krux to compare (with ~45#) and the xframe fit like a glove.

There arent any dealers in Ga but im on a work trip in Springfield and as luck would have it, a local archery shop had their stuff to i got to see the full line, which was pretty cool. Now to decide on a bag

I can fit my fist in there too. I ordered carbon stays and my frames fit just fine.
