All great info.  But the bows I was talking about Martin putting out start at 35 and go up to 42 or something crazy.  But I agree the longer the more "forgiving".

Just bought an Elite E35 I am 5'10'' and draw length of 27.5 probably have 100 arrows is all though it and at 30 yards have to be careful shooting same spot as other arrows due to fact I will smoke them Key to accuracy the longer the bow the more.accurate and find a bow that you can draw with ease and is maxed out whether it's 60 70 or 80 pounds maxed out and a longer ATA you will be shooting great just my 2 :twocents:

I shoot an Arena 34 and have a 29" draw. I like a longer axle to axle bow.

I shoot a 36 inch axle to axle by Hoyt.  It is an older bow but I have only killed 3 bulls standing all the rest have been on my knees and bent around a bush or something.  The longer axle to axle bow will compensate for messed up shooting form.  I did the short axle to axle once.  Now I am back to the longer. 

The shorter axle to axle exacerbates the shooters poor form.  Shorter bows are typically lighter than longer axle to axle.  There is pro's and con's for everything.  You get a longer axle to axle it is going to be heavier.  BUT there are slings now days for your bow.

Anyway, this is my opinion.  It is not worth much but it is an opinion.

Thanks for the opinion. The boy is built like a brick sh!! house. All muscle and a bit of weight wont hurt him. I just want to get him some thing that will keep him interested. He is dead on with his uncles bow that he has been shooting when he comes home but i want to get something that fits him better to keep him interested. When he came home for a bit this summer, the first thing he did was set up the target in the back yard. At man camp this year, we also had to take the target and the bow. The kids a natural, he doesn't hunt but maybe he can get interested with a bow.

I shoot a bear encounter set at 31" for my draw, axle to axle is 30.5. The bow was in expensive and I did some up grades as far as sight and what not. This is my 3rd bow, and so far the bang for the buck has been awesome.

6'3" here, also shoot a Bowtech Insanity CPXL the past couple years and have been happy with it.  Not sure if you can still buy them new or not?
