Default I'm stumped

Okay my buddy just bought a Vectrix which is 33" ATA. He also has a Vipertec that is supposed to be 31" (or 30.5 ATA). But when we measure them and lay them side by side the Vectrix is 3/8" longer. The Vipertec is actually 32 5/8" long... what's goin' on here?

Extreme string/cable stretch?

I was wondering that as well, but the string isn't very old and I've never seen cables be that far out...

Ah ha, thank you very much TFOX that makes sense now. I wasn't aware that they changed ATA with draw length. Thank you!

Hey, so what abouts would ata be on my soon to arrive 26" DL Vectrix? Can't be all that much shorter than 33 because the riser and limbs don't change with different DL's right?

Wish all bow companies would provide this kind of info.
