wow 35 is certaintly on the longer side with bows like the triax at 28. I actually had a dream last night that i went to the archery shop and it was packed. They had one prime in and no mathews. I blame this thread for the dream. 

My Halon in only 30” but that is my hunting bow. What I noticed with the longer ata is an easier balance not so much right to left wiggle. Going to be target bow/back up hunting bow. I don’t know if being taller is easier to shoot a longer ATA or more beneficial for a taller person or what. Either way I do love my Mathews so it’ll be interesting to see how this stacks up..

Sweet rig. I'm liking the string.... Not gonna lie I always like the look of those crazy colored strings like the bright yellows and greens. When the elite is due I'll be going pink. I have a big breast cancer awareness ribbon on the bow, for a friend of mine as Oct is awareness month. I think the pink string would go great. I'm comfortable with my manhood and ain't scared of the pink !

I shoot a 35" ATA bow, and Im not a super tall guy. I love it for hunting.

no doubt longer is more accurate. My switchback is 33 I think and I've never had an issue with it. But I'm not sure I'd want to go bigger in the woods.

Stayed up late last 2 nights surfing, just purchased a CBE TEK Hybrid Pro 5 pin sight. Seller says sight is 9.5 out of 10 condition wise. Going to build this bow on a budget. I don't think I'll ever buy a brand new bow again. The rest will be the only thing new I think. When said in done I'll price it all out ..

I have 2 adjustable sights I would sell you if interested ,you can even try them both out first . I have a single pin HHA with the dial and a black gold 3 pin ascent that is basically brand new.

Are you building an open class bow?
Did you get a lense?

Alot of pieces to the puzzle when it comes to building and open class bow.....parts add up real quick.

I want to say its the ultra 5519 , its the older style that has the much brighter pin then the new ones . Ill double check the model number when i get home from work.

I don't have a plan, just building a bow for target shooting throughout the summer. The 50-60 pound limbs will be easier to shoot 75 arrows at a time. Last year my arms with 70 pound Halon wanted to fall off after 25. But also can be used as a back up hunter

Bow is complete and very happy. It’s a dream to shoot, smooth draw back solid back wall, no vibration. The only thing I noticed is it’s a tad louder than my Halon. Here is what I have listed 

Bare Bow - Archery Talk/ Prime Rival $400

CBE 5 pin TEK Hybrid Pro / Archery Talk $125

Shrewd Stabalizer - Archery Talk /22” front 8” rear $150

QAD Rest Niagara Outdoor’s $139

Monkey Tails $15 Niagara Outdoor 

Peep $10 Niagara Outdoor 

Arrows- Axis 400 Blazer vans  Chartreuse and Black  $70 Niagara Outdoor 

Jeff Tuned it up we went to basement shot threw Chrono 277 at 60#  28.5” draw. After Labor I was only $10 over my intended budget but so happy the way this baby shoots. I have to get use to this 5 pin slider sight.
