This is my thoughts, if you're shooting the Fred Bear bow well, why risk it this close to season? I say use it this season and send it off on a good note. Then after the season ends, get that new bow you want. Remember, bows don't kill deer, hunters do.

One thing I always found is that when you get a new bow, things don't always fall together most times like you hope they will. Changing as many things as you intend to could cause you a lot of headaches and sleepness nights this close to the opener.

As for the shorter draw. In my experiences, if you have a short draw, short ATA bows tend to be easier to shoot. Its tough to say since you do not list your actual drawlength in your post. I personally shoot an honest 28" draw and can shoot a 32" ish bow, but prefer the stability of a longer 35" ish ATAT bow.
