Gentleman,
Again, thank you for the kind suggestions. I do appreciate them sincerely.
Bowtech Shooter,
I was not suggesting that Bowtech or any other company change the design of their bow or bows to suit me...but rather to suit the large number of archers who are shooting their correct draw lengths of over 30 inches.
Shooting too long of a draw length can be detrimental to shooting form, accuracy, etc... Everyone knows that...but what alot of folks fail to mention is that shooting too short of a draw length can have the same affect.
I have a serious issue with companies that only appeal to the "majority" of archers/bowhunters out there. That is one of the reasons that you won't see me buy a bow from several companies. They tend to cater to the "average" shooter and have very few options for shooters who don't fit that mold.
It would appear that Bowtech has taken a step in the right direction by offering bows like the Tech29 and Extreme Short Draw for shooters whose draw lengths are below average...but what about those folks who have draw lengths over 30 inches and who want to shoot bows that are 34 inches and under in axle to axle length.
In my opinion, Bowtech never should have gotten rid of the Mighty Mite with the 31 inch draw length option. They lost many potential customers there.
A flagship bow like the Patriot should be made available with options that would allow more than just the average shooter to take advantage of. Shorter
and longer draw lengths would be a great step in the right direction.
I apologize if this post sounds a bit harsh. It was not meant to be...and I have been told that I sound that way sometimes even when it is not my intention.
As for the "surgically altered" suggestion....I don't know if using those words is a good thing to say to any man....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Jeff,
You have given me some food for thought..and I do appreciate it. Who knows....maybe after many more years of shooting I will "lose" my longer than average draw length...like Arthur and be forced to use "shortish" 30 inch draw equipment...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Matt,
That looks like a Mathews!!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
