I am going to lay it out here for you, and remember this is MY personal opinon. First I will admit to not ever have shot anything less than a 36" ata bow. I have pulled them back. 2nd, I see how advantageous a short bow can be in a treestand but, I in no way can figure out how a short bow could ever be as smooth, forgiving, and recoil free as a longer ata bow. No way. These short bows might gain some speed because of more flex in the limbs and be lighter to carry. But no one can convince me they are more accurate and maybe not as accurate. Oh, maybe for that one crucial shot out of a stand, but shooting all day long? I currently shoot a 36 1/4" ata bow and it darn near took an act of God to get me to buy one that short! Ok, rip me apart and give me some facts why anyone would shoot a bow shorter than 36". Convince me such bows are better than longer ata bows!
