RE: 35 ATA with 32" draw
I've not shot that exact bow, but I have shot a few shorties with my 33" draw. They'll shoot fine BUT you'll find you're going to need a large diameter peep, a string loop will be a must-have, and you won't be able to establish multiple anchor point references due to the string angle at full draw.
The peep will wind up a good distance away from your eye at full draw, so you'll need a large diameter hole just to see through it. You'll need a peep with a HUGE hole - at least 1/4" - to see through it in low light situations. It will also be a good ways up the string, above your arrow, so you'll have to be careful that your top string silencer doesn't hang down and block your view through the peep.
The string angle will be so severe that any arrow nock will be pinched off the string if you try to shoot without a loop.
The string takes off at such an extreme angle that you'd have to have a nose like a collie to use a tip of the nose reference. You have to establish a consistent anchor that depends solely on the knuckle of your release hand and the peep.
Even with those problems, I still did some very accurate shooting with short compounds. But I'd still recommend looking at longer bows for longer draw lengths.
