Well just what I expected is another bow manufacture that disregards the long draw archers. No 36 AtoA bows with 32 inch draws. Oh well I guess that I will just have to wait.

Brian I think the problem is simply an engineering one. It's not that any one specific manufacturer has something against long draw shooters. It's simply that they cannot get those draw lengths with the brace heights, amount of reflex, and limb angles they are using for the configuration.
At any rate it does look like the new Pro-38 singlecam is running 36.5" and hits 32" draw.

I'm not sure which specs post you looked at but the 2003 Pro 38 has a 36.6875" ATA and draw lengths of 27-32" So, you may not have to wait after all. They should start start shipping around Dec. 1st or so, if you're interested.
Edit, Sorry I was typing at the same time as Jeff evidentally.

Jeff,
The first recurve I bought was the Dakota Recurve by Rick Welch. He, imo, is the greatest traditional shooter of all time.
14 world titles and 70 state titles traveling across the country.
My second was a Sley Recurve by Pat Ley It is Cocobolo/Bocote riser and Bamboo limbs.
My first ordered recurve finally arrived this past Saturday. Took 16 months. It is a Trails End by Dale Dye. Bocote Riser, Cocobolo center stripe, with pierce point inserts and Bamboo limbs.
It's really fancy and the most expensive bow I own.
To some, the Trails End is the "Holy Grail" of Recurves.
That's why the wait is so long.
Morrison is a fine bow also.
Like the Long Bows too but just perfer Recurves a little better for now.
Sorry for getting off topic, guys.
Sag.

Okay Bowtech Shooter,
I finally have to post to this short thread ....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
You said, "They are having their strings made to their new and improved standards ..." What, exactly, are the new and improved standards? The WC on my '03 Pat would be hard to beat, I would think. Can you elaborate on that?
Thanks.
Winger

I wonder if the Winner's Choice company would be able to produce the quantity of strings and cables needed to keep up with the demand once the production starts. I don't know how big WC is or how many work there but maybe it's a production issue that may prevent everyone from getting their bow but me<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

Winger, I don't have all the specifics. I'm told that the BowTech R&D has done some testing and came up with a string that meets or exceeds the specs of a W/C string. That's all I know for sure. Let it be known I'm a huge fan of W/C strings myself. I really can't imagine that the BowTech R&D would lessen the quality of the bows by using a string that won't stand up to the test of all of us critics. If it's unclear about what I posted I had also said that some bows will still have a W/C string but they're not marketing it as any one manufacturer's string. If they have them made by W/C and XXX and ABCD string manufacturers it will be marketed as a BowTech string. I hope that clears the issue up some.
445 supermag, Glad to make a big man happy...Well I'm assuming your a pretty big fellow with a 32" draw.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hey, I may consider going to Bedford & shoot for team BowTech. I may suck, too, but I'll bring Tristan to keep order and sanity.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Yeeessh Phil, You won't let Tristan thing just like I won't let it go about JeffB and the prototype pics....LOL....
It would be great to see you at Bedford and Erie PA. is even closer to you and well so is Nelsonville...So I guess if you're willing to travel to Bedford than you're willing to travel to them all, right?.....
