I've got to go a bit against the grain on this one guys. Personally, I prefer a bow 66" or shorter, going with around 62-64 ideal for my tastes and draw length(27"). To me those extra 2" just seems too much and I find myself needing to trim too much in blinds and concentrate too much on snagging and knocking limbs through the thick brush and swamp that I hunt. I like to be as stealthy as possible and this helps(I need all the help I can get!). Also, when I do finally get a shot while still hunting it may be in thicker brush not allowing a longer bow to be drawn without hitting something. I can see why some guys prefer the longer limbs(stability, smoothness of draw, etc.), and if that works for them that's fine by me, but give me a bit shorter bow and I'm a happy camper. Less wasted concentration lost on knocking limbs=more concentration on my shot process. Just my 2 cents! God bless, Matt
