hey ho,too short ata,i would stick with something longer fro finger shooting,like a hoyt anything with 3000 limbs or longer,hoyt ltd,bowtech constitution is good,older martins such as a sceptor 4 or razor are really goo as well.

Don't know a thing about this bow but looking at the picture, those cams would make me hesitant to consider it a finger bow. FWIW

 

[BOHO]

ok guys. Thanks a lot for the input. I'll keep searching.

 

[BOHO]

all the hoyts Im looking at have the cam and a half. what cam am I looking for?

 

[shoeminator]

The Hoyt Montega, great fingers bow and has Hoyt wheel cam on it. I think the last year they made them was 2009 or 2010.

 

[BOHO]

thx !! I'll see if I can find one in my price range.

Accu wheels, not cams, like those found on the Hoyt Vantage LTD, do yourself a favor and try one of these bows, you wont believe how smooth and forgiving these bows are.

 

[BOHO]

I'll try one but Im sure they are well out of my price range unless its a few years old. thx

 

[Highwaygun]

check out the mathews conquests they have long ata also. would make great finger bows

No problem. There's a thread on here by ebutler, Vantage LTD, it's for sale in the classifieds.

 

[BOHO]

I just checked ebay. They have a [email protected] for 99 cents. too bad it's not a buy it now. lmao

BOHO, what type of archery are you into?

Eric's Vantage is a fantastic target bow, but it would be way too slow for me as a 3D / Field competitor.

I'm lucky as I have a 30.5" DL, this means I can get almost anything with a 60 lb draw weight up to 300fps, provided I keep my arrows light. If I were hunting, I would have a different rig, with 70 lbs to allow me good KE with a much heavier arrow.

A lot depends on what you want to do with your bow.

 

[BOHO]

all I do is hunt. Thats why I was hoping to find something in the not too physically heavy range and not overly long. I might end up with a Constitution but Im keeping my options open. Most of the bows I've been checking on to this point, I cant afford anyways. Who knows, I might have to go with like a Mathews MQ1 for starters. We'll see. Thanks so much for everyones help and suggestions. Please keep it coming. Im a slow learner.

The Connie is a good, fast, accurate bow, I have been shooting them since 2005; but IMO the Martin Shadowcat is an easier bow to get along with, and it will also let you get away with the odd mistake, which the Connie will not.

 

[zestycj7]

This is an awsome deal, and the draw will go longer that the OP says it will, trust me.
I have 2 Shadowcats with the 1.5 cams (short draw mods) and they go to 30"

[BOHO]

Im really looking hard at that Shadowcat and a Connie with lots of accessories and a case that I can drive to and get. I'll just see what develops. Thanks again guys. Tom

 

[BOHO]

for you guys that hunt, are you able to shoot the long ata bows ok from treestands or do you hunt off the ground?
