There’s been a bunch of different Stinger models throughout the years. I still have my 2016 Stinger X . What’s different on the Stinger ATK ? I think specs are pretty much the same.

@Clint68 here is the chart for the grow with you setting: You are not making an apples to apples comparison; as you can see on the chart; a 70lb stinger X cannot achieve 70lbs at any of the draw lengths on the "grow with you" setting. So the range of adjustment is actually even less; the performance setting at 30" draw is 70-49 (range of 21 lbs) and on the grow with you setting its only 63-44 (smaller range of 19 lbs). At 21" draw the grow with you range is 48-32 (only 16lbs). This setting is made for kids as they grow...an adult can't shoot 2 draw lengths at the same time so all of the adjustability of the cam is not available. I mean i suppose if a man with a 30" draw wanted to shorten his draw length down to 21"; he could shoot the bow at half draw and get 32 lbs. As i said in my post above; the ranges are misleading. Also note that the SS cam which is on the 2024 Stinger ATK also has a "grow with you" setting. So i would assume (in the absence of a full chart for the 2024 model) that since the range is better on the ATK vs. the X when comparing the performance settings; that it would be better when comparing the grow with you settings as well. If there was a chart we could lay em side by side and compare. The second clip shows the 70lb ATK going down to 30lbs (i'd assume this is the grow with you minimum); which is lower than the X on any setting. I'm not hell bent on proving you wrong man; but the info is misleading. I wish they had not abandoned the full draw length/draw weight charts.

im aware of all the above . It appears there is very little change in the models . Not enough change to make any significant difference whatsoever. The axle-axle , advertised top speed, and weight of bow is the same.
