Default RE: Shorter ATA Bows?

They are both correct. Sorry but it's true.

Taller archers usually shoot longer bows a bit better than the extremely short bows. At long draw lengths of 30+ inches the string angle becomes very extreme at full draw.

Yes the longer riser bows do put more weight out farther from the bows center which makes them more stable then they use to be.

Another thing I have noticed about very short bows is that the serving tends to wear a bit fast where it rolls over the module. The shorter the bow the more extreme the angle to the cable slide it and this causes it to rub the side of the module when it is drawn back rather than tracking more centered in the groove.
