Yeah...and don't forget Hoyt still makes several bows that go up to a 33 or 34 inch draw length...and I think one even goes up to 35!!

Winger,

I am going to save my comments on this for another thread entirely....my bow buying has taken a completely different turn as of today......looooonnnngggg story...but I will post about it shortly. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Jeff, I started shooting 33&quot; about 15 years ago and have gotten used to it, so to avoid confusion, I just say my draw is 33&quot;. I did shoot 34&quot; for years before that but 34 inchers got kinda rare. Pro shops loved fixing up arrows for me, 'cause they didn't even have to turn on the cutting saw. Just glue an insert into a full length shaft and that was it. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Martin's okay, but PSE? I get a rash when I pick up a PSE.

I've got a Legacy that I picked up in a pawn shop for $50 that I'm going to stick some #3 Accuwheels on to experiment with, but I'm always looking to find a long draw bow. Wouldn't hurt to check on those bows. I don't much like the control cam, but if he's got any E-wheeled Legacy's I might be interested.

Randy Dehnel at Saxon fixed me up with a 66&quot; Mongoose that drew sweet out to 32&quot; (that's what I draw on a longbow). My 72&quot; selfbow stacks like a deck of cards though. Gonna have to find me a taller tree if I ever make another. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I like hearing Reflex might be making the Caribou again. I think it's a good thing because I'm running into a lot of people on the forums that are getting interested in shooting fingers again, and there aren't many decent fingers bows out there right now.

Frank, you know how I am about shooting bows that are shorter than my draw length, and how I am about buying bows that are bigger than my bank account. If I could get Hoyt to put LXPro limbs on a MagnaTec... But I hear they won't do a custom setup like that any more.

Bow_Tech Shooter, I've heard vague rumors about Wheeler, but I've never seen one of his bows. Does he have a website?

Arthur,

Start saving your spare change and order a Bowman.
Stewart bulds them for virtually any knuckle dragger around.
Stewart has a 34&quot; draw too.
He's a giant of a man; looks like an NFL lineman.


Sag.

Frank,
What is it? What is it?? Now you have me really curious!

Winger,

I don't want to let too much of the proverbial &quot;cat&quot; out of the bag yet...but just so nobody thinks I defected and bought a Mathews Legenza or something...I did still buy a Bowtech...I just don't want to post about it until I have had enough time to get a feel for the bow.

Hey Pabowhunter,
I tought for sure you were going to say you bought a Merlin, could of bet my Christening money on it.

PABowhntr

Polack,

I have never even seen a Merlin let alone shot one....so the chance of my buying one is slim to none. Once they get more dealers in my immediate area, so that I can get a feel for the bow, then I will take a long hard look at the Merlins.

Oh, Winger, don't go buying anything just yet...give me a little bit to relate my experiences...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Winger

Frank! You're killing me ... what happened and what did you get??

Frank is being a bit cryptic for a reason..and I don't even have the full story, but he seems to be having a problem of some sort w/ the particular bow he bought (which I'll leave you guys guessing about! )

I don't wish to speculate here, as I said I don't know the full story...I pestered him via email,gave him some of my thoughts, and he was going out today to do some further evaluation and shooting.

When he get's whatever the exact problem may be ironed out, he will let us all know, for better or worse.
