c903, I'll throw something in the pot you're stirring. I'd consider a bow over 38" ATA less desirable than a bow under 38" in a treestand or blind. Maneuverability can be an issue. To get a shot off, the angles and contortions required may be better served by a shorter, lighter bow.
"What type of bow is not a stand or blind hunting bow, and why not?"
A very loud, heavy, really long, inaccurate bow.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
