    Hello everyone I'm new to this forum,
    And fairly new to bowhunting (2019).
    I currently have an old Parker bow, but am thinking about upgrading.
    I'm looking at a mathews mission, but it s kind of a small bow (the ATA is 28") And I'M pretty tall (6'1"), what i'm wondering is, will this bow work for me?

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the site.
    As for the mission it's a great bow as it allows you to grow with a span of DL and DW options. But if you are done growing I would go with something with a solid back wall. Take the time and hit a few pro shops and shoot all the big names. One will feel right.
    I loved my Mathews Heli and it was tiny. But when I did upgrade to a longer bow I found my anchor felt easier to locate and stability was improved.

    Well I'm only 15 yoa so maybe the Mission is a good choice?
    I'll consider the stability point.

    For 15 absolutely it's a great choice. It will allow for growth and tastes change quick at that age. Keep at it and ask us anything.

    Yah, I sometimes take MOOSE for granted, but I am very privileged to live in Alaska.
