Pros
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
- 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
