Thanks, the story of the kaya windfighter, the gentleman i brought it from, said it was the heaviest bow they had ever made. No one wanted it even after a price drop, so I brought it
It's due to more loading on the limbs,for an example a 110lb longbow, from brace about 2 inch draw the bow will only have 10lb draw weight and every 2 inch you draw the weight increases 10lb, with a shorter string the deflection will increase putting more stress on the limbs resulting in more poundage so now the same bow is pulling 10.5lb at 2 inch draw and every 2 inch further will increase 10.5lb resulting to about 115lb at 28 inch draw could be a bit more due to stacking I wouldn't encourage anyone to raise the brace height beyond the manufacturers specifications. More stress on the limbs will increase the chances of the bow failing, I only did it on my cheap fiberglass longbow while im waiting on my 120lb bow so it's only a 5lb increase in weight and I'm not too concerned if the 110lb fiberglass longbow fails
Those are bloody lovely Rich, great collection of heavy bows!
Thanks Mike
Dude, that is one BAD ASS heavy bow collection! I didn't know Kaya made bows that heavy. I shoot Korean bows, just not heavy like that. Just wow!

Nice collection. No laughing that's a damn heavy bow. Can I also ask why does the draw weight of the bow increase if you increase the brace height?

Nice rich, some really pretty bows there. Amazing the velocity you can get from a bit of wood and a string int it 😊
@@Richardsmith001 Thanks for that. I did not know it :)
I bet it doesn't fail, it's pretty hardy shizz@@Richardsmith001
