Bowtech Shooter,
I know you were joking..that is why I put the "
" at the end of my last statement...
...though it did allow me to express my feelings about the draw length issue.
Jeff,
Your last paragraph....
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I suspect that one of the reasons you don't see a 31" MM or similar length bow is due to technical factors. I can't imagine the string angle on a 31" draw MM. Even a 29" Tech-29 is borderline ludicrous w/ the angle of the limbs on those bows. There's alot more to it than just the company not wanting to produce shorty bows for long draw length archers. While other companies do it, their designs do not have nearly the same performance, and it's quite possible the stress levels are too much on the "pushing the limits" Bowtech designs. The Stalker being less performance oriented for the average draw length, probably gets into the near maximum threshold level of performance w/ the 31" draw length. The other bows in the 31" draw length are all heavier, and longer (i.e. More apt to handle the increased stress in the shooting system). Also even if Bowtech was simply to machine a larger module, you would run into problems of cam over-rotation at full draw & beyond normal cable serving wear in addition to possibly overstressing the design.
Heck, send me a check for $300 and I'll ship you out my 2000 ES option 60 LB'er. You can buy a 31" module for it!

....was just what I had expected/assumed. Alot of the models that I have had past interest in (not only Bowtech's) are not offered in anything over 30 inches....most of the speed bows from PSE, Hoyt, several of the short High Country options, most of the Mathews lineup and now some of the Bowtech models.
Having said that, what I really want is one of these super fast bows with a large brace height and that are offered in my draw length....then, no matter what Matt posts, I can say, "yeah, but mine is 10 fps faster" <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Just out of curiousity...what do you think would happen if I were to order a Hypertec and would proceed to take the draw stop out of it? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
