RE: has anyone compared short drawlenght bows?
I definitely sympathize. They don' t have to custom build short bows but they typically have to order them so I just order from bass pro, try the bow for a few days and if it doesn' t fit or shoot good we just eat the shipping cost and send it back. Even then, you cant do that with bows like mathews and bowtech because they aren' t distributed that way...
Things can definitely be tough all over.
