RE: trykon
I used to believe that longer a-to-a was more forgiving for the target shooting pinpoint accuracy. But I think I've proved myself possibly wrong.
I've cleaned more 60X games with my 35" hunting bow than I have with my longer (41") target bow. I think that getting the perfect DL, finding a grip that agrees with your form, finding a good balance of weight distribution you like, etc... has more of a factor than a couple of extra inches of axle length.
Don't know if I would want anything shorter than around 35" for target due to the string angle and how it works with achor points and alignment checks. But I've learned that if I find a bow that just plain WORKS well for me, I'm not worried about how long or short it is.
just my opinion.....
