Very nice! What’s your setup/tune? Thoughts on the 56” limbs? Mine are 58” and want to try the 56” My draw is similar to yours at 26”
52lb at 25.
Same arrow I’ve ran forever.
Gold tip warriors / hunters. 500 spine. 26.5 carbon to carbon? Gotta double check. Standard insert, 250 grain vpa or 150 brass insert and 100 grain head.
Finished weight is around 485ish with the 250 head and insert and 475ish with the 150 brass 100 grain heads. They tune the same. Initial tune shows slightly weak with the puff balls which are 20 grains each. I will tune that out either with some heavier whiskers or run 4 smaller yarn balls. Have the brace at 7 1/2 to start since it’s a fresh string. Might even end up at 7- 7 1/4 and tune perfect. Right now i got 40 grains on the string, im thinking 60 would make it a perfect tune, although ive never had an issue with a touch weak bareshaft at 20 yards.
I’ve had a 62,58,56 inch coyote sl , a 58 inch wolverine fxt, and my 60 inch acs longbow limbs for this riser.
I’m sold on the shorter limbs. If I order another bow from South I’m actually gunna order a 13 inch coyote riser and make a 54 inch recurve. He told me I would see no speed or performance difference with the 13 inch riser compared to my 15 inch riser and 56 limbs, they are the exact same limbs. The riser difference is what makes them 54 inches on the shorter riser.
I already had the riser so it was wayyyy cheaper to have him make me these limbs compared to new bow.
The smaller lengths just fit my short draw length better and I prefer em for tree stand hunting, shooting pigs from my knees, crawling and spot and stalking for mule deer.
I have a custom 52 inch pika I had Dan make me for my draw length, it shoots nice, I’m a fan of Souths bows in general though. His grip just fits me and the g10 in the fxt risers add some mass. I have a gunshy in route to add even more weight to the toelke but it’s going on my stalker as well.
As much as I like the toelke I get feather contact on my knuckle at times, have to really pay attention to my grip and it’s not even a thought on Souths bows. I’m gunna try to build the shelf up on the toelke and see if I can tune it out. Possible raise the knock height.
Overall this bow is a stunner and I’ve had more bows then any man should, I can get a pretty good feel for em just in a few minutes shooting them and setting them up. This things is gunna be a critter killer. It took me a couple years of testing and really deciding what I wanted, but it’s everything i wanted and more.
