Default RE: Treestand and blind hunting - 36" ATA bows
ORIGINAL: GMMAT

I'm gonna show my inexperience......but....wouldn't a longer ATA bow be more forgiving?

Why the push from the bow mfr's to go shorter and shorter (ATA)?

I'm waiting on my 82nd Airborne to get here.....and I honestly see me NOT putting this thing down when deer season rolls around.

You are correct,the longer bow in most instance SHOULD be more forgiving but that doesn't mean it always will be.Reflex and brace will play into that as well.


The short bow thing is a result of needing new and improved products from year to year so the manufactuers started listening to a FEW and started getting shorter and shorter and now they push them as the new and improved design.Of course,that is just 1 man's opinion.


BUT,all things are relative,it wasn't that long ago that 36" was considered extremely short.
