CBM, Thanks for posting this question. I signed on this morning for the purpose of posting this same question. I'm 6'2" and my draw length is 30 inches as well. I'm doing my research now for a new bow this year and also want something short for hunting. My new bow will mainly be used for spot and stalk hog hunts and hunting from a ground blind or tree stand for deer, so I want something that's light weight and maneuverable in thick ground cover. I don't shoot 3D, but will also shoot targets in the backyard. I was also looking at the Outback the other day and that bow felt really good in my hands. I never thought that I'd consider a Mathews but I am now. I also looked at several Bowtechs, they felt bulky, and the Hoyt Xtec, also felt bulky. I know the weight of the Outback is probably higher than the others but it sure balanced nice and seemed very slim and comfortable in my hands. I've read in recent years that tall archers are supposed to shoot longer ATA bows, but read somewhere of an explanation against that idea. They said that bows years ago were long because of long limbs and riser and when bows started to get shorter the riser was made shorter and the limbs were still long and it was hard not to torque a bow with a short riser. Today bows are made shorter from a longer riser, which gives the effect of a longer more stable bow, and shorter more parallel limbs. Also with the size of cams today, they seem to be getting bigger, I don't think the string angle is as critical any more.
