Hi everyone! I just joined the forum! I LOVE bowhunting so this will be fun.

For the last 4 years I have been shooting a GoldenEagle Revolution. The bow has treated me great and I shot several dear with it. I shot well in an archery tournament last year, but I still want to get a new bow for some reason. This one is too heavy.

I have been doing a little research, but just started looking around, there are alot of great bows out there right now. ALot of them have caught my eye, but the 2 that I am most interested in are the Renegade and Archer Research companies. What do you feel about these bows. I absolutely love the feel of the renegade bow! only 3 lbs! and I have read alot of good stuff about the AR company. I know mathew's is one of the best, but I want to try somthing else, especially because of cost. What do you guys think?

ALso, how do you feel about getting too short with the bows? Is a 31 inch axle-->axle too short? does it matter? WHat about draw length, I like shooting short draw length's so I can shoot in more awkward positions if I have to, does this slow a bow down?

Thanks
