RE: axle to axle
X2. You are at least an inch too long on the bow's draw length. And I too like the longer ATA bows. My 2005 Hoyt ProTec is 38" - very forgiving and accurate. I bought a short light bow for a backup in October - and it does shoot well - but if I'm going to a 5 spot match or hunting somewhere that is within 1/2 mile of the truck, the Hoyt is going with me. High level of confidence in this unit.
