Default RE: All these short bows!!!

I'm a fairly small guy, 5'8" - with a fairly short draw lenght, 27.5". I upgraded bows a couple of years ago for the first time in about 20 years. The bow I got was a short A to A bow, and I loved it! I had so much fun with the upgrade that I upgraded again, and then again! The latest upgrade is, by chance, a longer A to A bow. I still have the first bow I upgraded to (it was a gift from my wife, selling that bow would be a HUGE political fopah). Oddly enough, over the past couple of nights I have been shooting both bows side by side. The upshot of all that, relative to this post, is that the longer A to A bow is night and day different - in a good way - at full draw from the shorter A to A bow. The longer A to A bow is much more stable, steadier, and easier to aim than the short A to A bow. I don't know enough to say that the A to A difference is the only reason for the observation, but when I upgrade in the future there will be 'long' A to A bows in the 'to be tested' line-up!!
