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? :dunno:

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. :tup:

I personally prefer a tall bow 40+ ata
But that’s just Me

Post by: Mudman on March 14, 2018, 05:35:27 PM: 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? :dunno:
