So short.

Whats the deal with the short ATA bows for 2018? Seems like every brands flagship hunting bow is a short ATA bow. I don't get it? 

[demontang]

Not sure. This bow is what everyone was asking for. Long riser parallel solid limb bow. It surprised me that many people want that. I liked the revelation from last year a lot.

Shorter ATA increases portability, arrow speed, and reduces weight at the cost of greater stability.
I would recommend shorter ata for those with solid shooting form.

Cool bow.

I'm going to pull one into the shop and see how it does. The revelation I shot last year held like a much longer bow thanks to riser length. Think the riser is over 30" on this new bow

Looks cool, I’m sure it shoots great.
I personally prefer a tall bow 40+ ata
But that’s just Me

They make them short because they think everyone hunts from a tree stand or a blind.

Wicked!

I picked up a revelation from demontang, if you haven't got your hands on, and shot one, you need too!

My old Mathews z7 extreme is 28"ata. 7.4" brace and 330fps.  I don't see much in the specs of this as far as improvement?

All I can say is shoot one you might be suprised

Yea it took me a while to break down and shoot the Athens. Everyone has there own opinions and taste.
