RE: To Check-mate owners...
I'm for the longer bows too. Smooth and stable are much more important to me that a little more speed with the shorter limb. Most would consider my 66" Crusader too long for my shortish 28" draw, but I like how it pulls and it's a sweet shooter for me. Don't have any problems shooting it in thick stuff either.
Make em sharp and shoot em straight, or leave em home.
