Which Bow?
 
I'm trying to find a parallel limb bow with a 30" axle to axle length and at least a 60lb draw weight. I've looked around but can't find any. Any help would be cool.

Have you given some consideration to the BowTech Mighty Mite ,it's parallell limb and I'm sure it's about 30" .

Hey thanks, I just read some pretty good reviews on the Mighty Might. I'm gonna have to look into that one some more.

Not exactly 30 inches, more like 31.5, but the Diamond Triumph might be another one to consider. Price is very reasonable for a high end bow at the mid $400s.

I guess what I need to know now is, which one of these bows would be better as far as hand shock, vibration, noise, and so on. I've heard some good things about the mighty mite, but I'm always ready for more opinions.

I think you will find that the Mighty Mite is by far the fastest of the bunch and has a reputation of being a shooter also but you still have to shoot one to see if you like the feel. "Feel" is a very individual thing.

With a very shot axle bow, I don't think you're going to find one that is very shock free. You really need to shoot as many of them as possible to feel for yourself. I've only owned one short axled bow, a 2003 Parker UL 31. Great bow, but the short bows are not very forgiving, so I went to a little longerbow again. IMO the UL-31's after 2003 are not as good.

Of course there is always this 20.5 inch "thing" that you may or may not have seen... http://www.libertyarchery.com/

I have to agree. I used to think that the 30" length was the way to go but find that a mid size 33" is as compact as I need. When you think about it the longer one only sticks out 1 1/2" further on each end. There is a good reason why the flagship bows ( Allegiance, Switchback ) are @33" ATA. You will eliminate lots of great bows by sticking to the short ones.

The firestorm lite is a great bow. If your going to get a bow that short - make sure you get one with plenty of brace height.
