GOOD BOW - if you like them short.  54"?

I have an Explorer II  52# @ 62".  

Is yours a solid riser, or laminated with reosewood?  The solid risers are older, the laminated risers re the newer ones.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.
