    My dad is thinking of getting a new bow and he isn't sure what he wants so i though i would talk to you guys first.
    He is 6.4 ft so we thought maybe he should get a longer Axle-to-Axle, and he needs a 31 in draw length,
    so we told him to look at the mr8, But he doesn't really like that so then we said the z9 is a good bow to and he likes that one but I'm not sure what one would be better for him hopping you guys could help? Thanks!

    Have him try a Hoyt Faktor as well, if he is any more than a 31'' draw they offer a longdraw version as well. Super smooth shooting bow, he would probably love it.

    On a side note, were you planning on still doing the turkey contest? You signed up and were drawn for team 12 but haven't checked in yet. If you don't check-in by Sunday an alternated will be selected in your place.

    I would say don't limit yourself on ATA length, make sure the draw length is in the range, but other than that test & shoot every bow.

    Try every brand. Dont get hung up on One specific. There are some great long draw bows from just about every manufaturer! LImit yourself and you limit your potential
