I made the shot, nice doe, but it was a bit hard to focus lol. I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

And what draw weight? Get yah self a Mongoalian Horse Bow...if your doing all your shooting in a tree stand . Bow is 52-54 inches....45@ 28 “. You’ll still be able to use it when your body has no testosterone left ...when you get old. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I feel a little length is a good thing and though i dont do a ton of treestand hunting it doesnt take much to figure it out. Basically if in a climber set you top real high so it stays out of the way of the bow. Hang ons are the best. When shooting modern bows I shoot a Toelkes. You wont convince me there is a better one.
