Check Out Pros & Cons
Pros
  • A real short-draw hunting bow, not a youth bow or a cranked-down adult rig - the full 70-pound-capable DS-3800 chassis at a 23-27 inch draw
  • Draw cycle re-engineered for the short-draw shooter to reach peak weight comfortably, rather than just limiting an adult bow's modules
  • Carries the DS-3800's quiet, low-shock shot, solid holdable back wall, and stout aluminum build
  • Draw length changes by hand across 23-27 inches with no bow press - swap the synced DualSync module
Cons
  • IBO drops to 305-310 fps against the standard's 345-350 - the physics of a shorter power stroke, a trait of any short-draw bow rather than a weakness, and the trade that buys a short-draw shooter the full chassis
  • A 2011-2012-only bow from a thin-dealer brand - scarce used and hard to try in person, so confirm module and string availability before buying; standard aftermarket strings fit
