RE: Axle to axle length, brace height, and cams
My draw length is 32", I shoot around 60 lbs. with a Tru-Fire caliper release on a string loop behind the nock. I do not use an overdraw and shoot fairly heavy carbon arrows with right helical synthetic feathers with 100 gr. First-Cut 2-blade broadheads. I have been shooting for a long time and have good formI hunt both from treestands and on the ground both ambush and still-hunt. I live in Michigan and go to school in NY so it is fairly cold during the season but I have never had a problem with drawing in cold weather. I hunt for deer mainly and am starting to get into turkey. I am looking to possibly going bear hunting in the next couple years. I mostly hunt in forests and in cornfields. I am mainly concerned with a quiet and accurate bow that is easily accurate to 40-50 yards, even though I would not shoot a deer that far, I often practice at 60 or 70 yards so any problems are magnified and when I go back down to 20-30 yards it is almost point-blank. You mentioned some cam styles are quieter than others and I was wondering if you could elaborate on that. Thanks for all the help that people have given me so far and if you need more info I would be happy to give it. Please keep the advice coming. I understand that nobody can pick a bow for someone else and that it is a very personal choice, but I was looking for some ideas to start with.
