Yep Dave , I'm speaking from experience. And Yes it's a little tougher standing up with more bend in the knee. Dont get me wrong , short ata bows have their advantages , but for me the trade off with my shooting ability wasn't worth it.
I'm not real familiar with most climbers (I prefer fixed position) , but can you 86 the arm rest?
BTW Dave , I have a great deal of respect for anyone who uses the word "conundrum" in their vocabulary<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle> It's just one of those words I love to hear<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
