Whats up with bow shops?

That all depends on the bow AND which cam your shooting.

MY Alpamax 32 with the #3 cam are way nicer to shoot than the same bow in 35" that uses the #2 cam.

some of the 30" bows due to their limb designs shoot like many of the older 37" bows, and way better than the old 48" bows ( OK I'm old LOL) 

Very true.  Cams really give you the general feel of a bow.  People's preferences on valley, back wall, let-off, etc are very personal . 

 

I know you and I have talked about it before here too, and you raised the point in the other thread, but grip is so often overlooked when picking a bow.  The grip should effortlessly encourage proper form and be instantly repeatable.  I really only enjoy the grips on a handful of the companies out there.    

 

I was just speaking in general terms of forgiveness and balance though.  A longer ATA bow will move around on you less than a short bow and can certainly help with accuracy issues.  There is a reason target archers shoot longer ATA bows. 

 

That being said, you're right about limb design.  Although I'm guessing just about any compound on the market shoots better than a 20+ year old compound

I heard Mike at A & M sold his shop for $5m to some temple in Lakewood. Anyone hear that? It’s been a while since I’ve been there and ornery was being nice.

 

Nope, still there, just spoke to him yesterday - bow was shipped and will be in next week.

Best bet is buy the bow through Lancaster. Buy all the accessories you want. And do everything yourself.

That Prime is supposed to be a sweet shooter.  If they have the PSE Evolve 35, then shoot it side-by-side with that Prime before you make your decision.  If I were buying a new bow today, it would be one of those 2 or maybe the Xpedition Denali. 

 

One you start shooting a longer ATA bow, you'll never go back.  Good luck 

Agreed! My brother is shopping for a new bow rite now. He's going to shoot a Elite Echelon 37 and a Darton Tempest T both are 37" and a 7" brace height.
