Mike knows what he is talking about! He is definitely a Big Guy!

I might add that IMO you are better off staying away from the little short A to A bows most are making today. I'd stay with something 35" and above for your draw length.

Really shoot this bow well, but its an anchor. I've shot it for three deer seasons and lots of tournaments, but I was looking for something with a lighter mass weight and also a little shorter ATA. I just bought a Hoyt Maxxis 35, haven't shot it much yet, and by not much I mean probably 30 shots. Considerably lighter, and also several inches shorter, so we'll see how this one works out. These days, it's getting tougher to find a bow if you don't want that will fit in your shirt pocket. The new Mathews look like a toy.
