Brace height is where its at.  My Z7extreme is as short as they come but brace is over 7inches.  Shoots very well.  Have shot longer bows with short 6inch and they are very touchy. :twocents:
I love my extreme as well, I think the brace height, the parallel limbs and the length of the riser combined with practice make it as accurate as anything out there.  Practice being the biggest factor in the accuracy.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Longer is always better.  I like to be about the 35 inch range.



  Length has nothing to do with accuracy.  However, longer does have a tendency to be easier to shoot accurately.

I get your point but it's an oxymoron  :chuckle:

I WAS WONDERING WHICH IS BETTER? I KNOW LONGER IS MORE ACCURATE, SHORTER SEEMS MORE EASIER TO PACK AND SHOOT IN TIGHT SPOTS. WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS?

My wife has her opinion and I have mine. Longer? shorter? Easier to pack? - (which varies depending  on temperatures)

If I can have a smaller easier to pack shoot/treestand brush, carry store etc. and have a good fast smooth accurate shooter too I want it!  So I got it. :chuckle:Z7XTREME.  Everyone needs to shoot all styles and decide whats best for them.  Its been said alot because its so true.  I love mine, only way I would improve it was to make it lighter, so I tried Heli and didnt like it.
MAGA!  Again..
