Matt, until I bought my 06 Ally, I never owned a bow shorted than 36"(and usually exactly 36") so you got to know how thrilled I was when I heard that Bowtech was making a 36" ATA bow, thrilled and it's everything I thought it would be and wanted! Don't get me wrong, my Ally still shot but it's the shortest bow I owned until the General and now the Black Ice. I love the feel of the 36" bow.
