Mike if i remeber right the accomplice 34 you have is the one i had.

Does potty look like t-rex as far as arm length goes?

I wouldnt mind trying an accomplice 32 or another athens that is 32" ata or shorter but there is no where near me to shoot them. That 34 was just to long for my liking.

Only thing me and T-Rex have in common, is when we go hunting, something dies!!! LOL

I'm shooting the Ibex right now.. it's a 30 inch ata...I'll be shooting this thing forever! ( but I haven't tried the new ones yet!)

I'm getting 308 fps out her! Have a read, I've pretty much have said everything he had to say about this bow!

Lol just buggin Potty.
Npauls I am 6'3 I really dont find 34" too long and is actually my preference.

I too have a ibex which is a 30" ata I might be selling when my new bow gets in.
its 29" (which is a easy cam swap if you need shorter) @70lbs and custom dipped in predator brown deception with matching dipped quiver.

I wouldnt mind trying an ibex but i would need a 28.5 draw length and 60lbs limbs.

70lbs is just too much for my shoulders.

I would be willing to try shooting a 70lbs but i wouldnt buy one without trying it first which is going to be the tough part.

I got two new bows this year. 2015 prime rival and 2015 bear arena 30. Just in the process of getting them all set up. Shot both a few times. So nice!

Held some Athens today and they feel real nice. I am excited to try one this week at TnT

I would like to try an as well elite. Any dealers in the Edmoton Area

I believe trophy book can get them in but doesn't actively carry them which is a shame cause I've wanted to try the e 35 for awhile now

They seem to be sweet bows and if they shoot as well as they feel I think there is one in my future.

Thanks

I am not positive if they are authorized dealers and haven't spoke with Bartons in a few years but I know T & T carry's some Athens bows.
