Default lightweight bow!

After getting back from My elk hunt I have decided that I need a lighter bow. I was averaging 8-12 miles a day elk hunting. And My Grizzley got a little heavy. So I think I want a short axle bow that is really light weight yet still silent. Any Ideas???

That's one of the reasons I went with the Buckskin over the Grizzly. Shorter ATA and under 4 pounds.

Hoyt ViperTec, 32 1/2" Axle to axle, 3lbs 13 oz.. Much lighter then my old Hoyt, and shoots well for being so short.

What price range? The first one that popped into my head was the Diamond Raptue....in the mid to low 3 lb range and with a 33 inch axle to axle length. Plus, it is under $400.

I have a Mathews FX 3.3lbs. - 34" axle to axle, 308 FPS IBO....short, fast, no frills, but solid bow. I have one a few years old, and absolutely love for its ease of use with my climber or hang on, andextremely lightweight. Good shooter as well...
