The answer doesn't entail string loops or lighter limbs, [$].
To shorten the stroke, all one needs is a string that sits above high mark on bheight. Imagine an Emax w/ string 2" above high line. Samo-samo w/ Vixen stroke.
Not a great example as the Vix has more punch than what some would be looking for, but applied to the Ecet, Phoenix and Vixen, we could reduce the power accordingly w/ a custom made[edit: longer to shorter] shorter string.
Something to think about, no? All kudos to Boo.
