Mathews for the most part are not draw length adjustable and are cam specific. Which means you would have to get a new cam to get the correct draw length you need. Most other bows either have modules in 1 inch or half inch increments, with fine adjustments after that. Other companies actually have fairly adjustable cams over a range of say 4 inches or so.

Mathews does not do this. You need the cam specific to your draw length and they do not always draw at the length they say they will. If you know you have a 29 inch draw length and get one with a 29 inch cam don't be shocked if it actually draws 30 inches or so. That is pretty common actually.

Mathews is a bow I highly suggest getting from a shop and not used off from the net unless you really know what you are doing. I'm not sure what cams cost anymore, I know they used to be around $90 for some models! I can't say what they are now. Campared to a bow with modules that usually cost around 15 bucks a module.

I would also make sure the model you are looking for actually goes down to 26 inches. I would hate to see you get a bow and find out you can't get a cam or modules in that length. I shoot around 26 inches as well and know not all bows go that low. Although they are getting much better now as far as draw length goes. Used to be if you had that short of a draw length you were getting a kids bow or something, now most bows offer a 26 inch draw length option.

In my opinion if you are looking for a used bow look at a Bowtech mighty might, I have one and it's a nice bow for short draw archers. There are others as well.
