Are you really 6'5-6'6" tall?  79" wing span is crazy long!  Makes for a great power stroke and impressive speeds, but does make finding a reasonable cost bow that fits properly rather difficult.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Talk to Denton Rock Creek Archery in Enumclaw.  He will get you pointed in the right direction.

6'2-6'3, I just have long limbs! It's a blessing and a curse. I was looking at the Bear Attitude pretty intently, but I have no idea if it's a good bow. The reviews all say it's great but I haven't talked to anyone or let alone gone and picked any bows up. I just need to talk to smart people like yourself!

Keep in mind you don't have to buy the makers top of the line expensive bows. The medium priced bows have excellent qualities and reasonable prices

Quite a bit of difference between a 30" draw length and a 31.5".  Especially when trying to find the right bow.  I would definitely go up to see Denton at Rock Creek and get sized properly before making any choices.

Bear Attitude is a great bow for $400!  It's quiet, easy to shoot and has plenty of speed.  But at 31 A2A it may be difficult if your length ends up being 31.5".  PSE Surge is in that same price range and is also a great bow for the money.  Only one inch longer though.

I will definitely make a visit up there! Thank you very much for the help!!
