    I am an adult archer of shorter stature (66 inches) and just getting I to bow hunting (I am using a friend’s Diamond Archery Edge SB-1 and got it set up to my draw length). I like the Mission bows and am in the market to purchase. I am looking at either the Hamm’r or the Switch. Could I use a Hamm’r or would be too small for me? Or should I just go for the Switch? The Hamm’r is about $100 less than the Switch.

    Between those two, especially for an adult shooter I would lean towards the Switch. Though for $100 you can get into the MXR which I think is worth the extra cash in my opinion... I would shoot the Switch and MXR and just see which one feels better...

    I fully agree.
    How a bow feels play an important role. And a bow twice as expensive will not make you shoot twice as good.
    If possible, try some more bows.

    I'm 5'5" and shoot the Mission Venture, I love it. I shoot low poundage at 49#'s. I have had several pass through kills at 35 yrds. I won't shoot past that. Just a nice bow Missions a good value.
