Been out of archery for about three years , looking to get back into it and want a hunting compound. Its so limited ones that will go 32 inch draw length, any suggestions? I really like the new Mathews but they wont go that long.

I have been pretty happy with my PSE Carbon Stealth 35 EC at a draw length of 32".

The Evolve cams feel great all the way through the draw cycle. IBO was only 327 FPS, but I am getting 291 FPS with a 481 grain arrow at 65#.

I was shooting Elites (E35 and Ritual 33) before and now get a little more speed with my CS 35 while pulling slightly less weight.

I really like carbon, but you can go with their aluminum options (Evoke 35) as well.

I'm in the same boat. Getting back into it after many years, and needing a long draw bow as well. Currently looking into PSE Phenom's(XT, DC), as well as the Bowtech BT-Mag X. If you want short ATA, the Drive 3B XL and the Mathews Halon 7 fit the bill. I'm looking for used since I'm trying to stay as close to $500 for bow and the attachments for it, so i'm being patient and keeping an eye out.

Depending on your height, you might be limited to your bow options due to the ATA length. If you get a long draw length and a short ATA bow, you're going to be a t a weird angle with the strings.
I went through it. I ended up with the Hoyt Double XL

The Elite Revol XL is not a speed demon, but will go to 32" and is very good shooting bow. Has a 36" ATA with a 7-5/8" BH.

Take a look at an Athens Peak 38.... If you have a 32" DL, you should be able to hunt with a 38" ATA bow!!!!

the new mathews will go that long. the Mathews Atlas will go out to 34". Same with the Hoyt XXL. Hoyt has the Ultras that will reach 32". Like stated above the athens have bows, many PSE's, and the mathews traverse.

I’ll jump in, I’m a 33” draw and recently sold my Traverse as I felt the draw cycle was clunky compared to the Hoyt and PSE. The main issue I had was actually finding a bow in a shop that I could actually shoot. Because of this I ended up buying a Traverse and regretting the decision. All said when you have a long draw the absolute best thing you can do is shoot each bow prior to buying.
