I shot a Defender for the fun of it just to see how it compared to what Bow I owned and to the OG and Alligience. They were all at the same shop and the Alle and Defender were within a half inch of my draw lenght (Alle too long and Defender to short). That little pisser really launches the arrows. I personally didn't like the short ATA on it but if I was about 3 inches shorter or had a draw down around 26-27 I would buy that over the MM. Shot that bow too at a different store.
