RE: Which short new bow should I buy?
Thanks to all you guys for the feedback.
Here's my interpretation of what's been said. After one sets their bow parameters, i.e., type, speed range, and price range, the right bow is the one that feels most comfortable and allows you to shoot the most accurately. The brand of bow isn't the driver at all except for quality reputation for product and service to the customer.
Regards !

I'd like to add another "shorty" to the list that has not been mentioned. I shoot a 2003 Diamond Archery Machette. It's 32" axle to axle and has a brace height of approximately 7 1/2". It's also very fast, with speeds around 315 fps. For a real shorty, Diamond also has the Stinger, a 28" bow that is very fast.
No matter which short bow you decide to buy, a sight with a level is almost a necessity in keeping tight groups. The shortys are just too unforgiving and the slightest bow cant will be amplified downrange. Enjoy.

Before you buy anything wait until the Mathews Outback comes out. It might be worth your wait. I have seen the specs and pics of the MM VFT and I do have to say it looks great. I haven't shot it but have shot the outback (see my post) and can say it was incredible! I ordered two of those bows to replace my two Legacy's.
Good luck.
Good luck.

If you are looking at the Hoyt bows, take a good look at the Vipertec. I, along with Pabowhunter did a review on this bow. I just bought one and am very impressed with it thus far. Very smooth drawing and no vibration. Also extremely quiet. Of course what else can you expect from a Hoyt?
