Your last sentence asks us to convince you...

No offense, but... convince yourself. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I believe there are several smooth shooting shorty's out there... and I am willing to bet there is going to be at least one that will snatch your interest.

Afer shooting several shorty's I convinced myself that I preferred the Darton Mag 33. I shot it practically bare... no sights... no stabilizer... and taped-on limb savers to see what it would do. I expected a very radical response, at best. However, the results were completely opposite of what I anticipated.

The bow just sat there after the shot... over and over and over again. I was amazed at how smoth the bow pulled and shot for me!

I currently shoot a Darton Maverick... so maybe I am somewhat biased. However, I truly believe I gave that short bow [and several others] an unbiased test.

Like you... I wasn't about to give those shorty's a chance... until I began shooting them.

My advice? Go shoot a few. Heck... shoot a bunch. You might be surprised at what the techno-geeks can put together these days.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
