You lost your bow?Talk about tramatic!!Since you want to stay with a longer ata bow,you really have some great bows to chose from.The Ovation would be a good choice,so would an Hoyt X-Tech,Bowtech Pro-40(38),single or dual cam Patriot.I,too like a longer bow and I enjoy shooting 3-D,but my main function is hunting.My personal choice(going by your requests)would be the LX.I say this because it seems that your requirements are much the same as mine.My LX fits the bill perfectly.You'll get a lot of advice and different opinions on which bow to buy,but the bottom line, it's got to be the right bow for you.Have fun looking and shoot a bunch of bows,you'll know the one thats right for you...Bob
