    Hey guys I'm finally going to be upgrading to a new bow and I am not sure what to get. I do a lot of spot and stalk and ground blind hunting but I also do some stand hunting. Looking for a good fast but quiet bow. Also I'm not sure if I should get a longer or shorter axle to axle length bow. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

    I would suggest something with a shorter axle to axle if you do some hunting from a ground blind. Having a few less inches really helps with maneouvering.

    Smaller axle to axle is better. I have longer axle to axle and it is very difficult to move in blind. Also i would imagine it would be harder to hide if you were stalking with a longer axle to axle.

    Do you think 32 is to long? Or would 28 or 30 inches be better?

    Probably 28 to 30 would be good just depends on how tall you are. I am 6 ft 4 so its difficult in general for me and its worse with the longer axle bow. I have to basically sit right in the middle and i cant have much extra gear or people with me in the blind.
