Holy moly, I nearly just busted a gut!!
You've got HOYT stamped in your signature, and your recommending a MATHEWS? Oh man that's just funny......
Now if hoyt could lighten their 70 lb bows by another pound,
Why not just turn it down to 69??
I know what you mean, but a 70# bow's mass weight is the same as a 60.
shorten them up from 33 inches to 30-31in
Uh, there are some problems w/ short ATA bows as well, but we're not going to get into those. Look at the bows that Bowtech is offering this year. Some of the hottest selling bows around, and just look around the forums.....There must be 100 posts about them, and they aren't that short. So I'm not sure a 30 or 31" ATA bow is REALLY want the hunters want. Oh, I'm sure there are some that do, but far and away, I think not.
I do agree, completely, that this year's bows are pretty much the same as last year's, and I also hope this year they come out with something breathtaking.
