Axle-to-Axle Measurements As the name suggests, bows are measured for length from the center of one cam axle (a round metal rod connecting the cam to the bow's limb) to the other. Please note that a bow will actually stand 3-5" taller than it's published axle-to-axle length. This is because the cams extend well beyond the axles. So if you are buying a new bow and need the bow to fit into a particular case, or storage space, you should take this into account. How Long Should You Go? There is no right or wrong here. But the traditional wisdom is that longer bows are more forgiving, stable, and accurate. This isn't to say that a short-axle bow cannot be shot accurately. It just means that your technique will need to be more exacting - particularly at longer ranges. Nonetheless, the most popular bowhunting bows are 31-34" long. Bowhunters largely regard bows under 31" as too short, and bows over 34" as too long. There seems to be some magic in the 31-34" bow. The most popular units of the last few years (Mathews Switchback, Bowtech Allegiance, Hoyt Trykon, Browning Illusion, Diamond Liberty, etc.) all fall into this axle-to-axle length range. So it's no surprise that nearly half the bows on the market for 2007 now have similar axle-to-axle lengths.		(Under 32") Short Axle Bow Short axle bows are very popular with Eastern treestand hunters and those who want a compact, lightweight, and maneuverable bow. These bows are best shot with a mechanical release and require a little more practice for best long-range accuracy.
		(32" to 38") Mid Axle Length Bow Mid axle length bows represent the majority of the market and include most of today's most popular units. The mid-axle length bow offers a good blend of maneuverability and long-range accuracy. Popular choice for recreational shooters, bowhunting newcomers, 3D enthusiasts, and those who hunt from both the ground and a treestand. Mid-axle length bows are sometimes referred to as "crossover" bows, as many shooters buy this type of bow to serve double-duty as both their primary hunting and their 3D competition bow.
		(Over 38") Long Axle Bow Longer axle bows are sometimes called "finger-shooter" bows, as they offer a less acute angle at full draw for a more comfortable finger release. Long axle bows are usually the choice of serious competition archers and/or dedicated finger shooters, but they are often considered "too long" for treestand hunting. However, many shooters still prefer the added stability of the longer axle bow.
