I too agree with what has already been posted, the 7595 XT would surely suit your needs. Now i have a couple of questions, 40ft[
] do you carry an oxygen mask and some kleenex for nose bleed?
man that' s a lot higher than i want to be. Looks like you' d have a pretty wicked shot angle at that height. Hope your wearing a full body harnest up there.

I agree with the 7595' s also. A short bow with hard cams at that draw weight will need a very stiff shaft.
Good lord! At 40 feet up, the ground is out of range.
I' d be too busy holding on to even think about shooting a bow.
Steep angled shots make it really hard to get both lungs. I hardly ever go above 20 feet.

Bullsi,
In that situation, I can understand going that high. I' m a flatlander so 40 feet up is way up there to me.
The most important thing is shot angle. As long as you' re not shooting a really steep downward angle, you can get both lungs.
Since you are shooting a fallaway, you can put plenty of helical on your fletchings. I think the max is usually 8 degrees and anything near that will work just fine. The degree of helical/offset isn' t as important as getting a correctly spined shaft. I prefer 4" feathers, but good vanes work also.
Good luck getting it set up.
