Good choice! l've got the 34tf and it is a big improvement over my last 2 APA bows. It should tune up relatively easy for you.

Default APA so far

Well after about 400 shots I can say it's sure different then my elite energy 32 , however I new they wouldn't be the same , I can say I just love the way it feels and it's dead in my hand zero noise or vibration . The one thing I am trying to get use to is the draw cycle ,I find it wanting to creep forward lots , I realize that this is a lot to do with the style of cam maybe . I am a 29 inch draw and feel that it's to long for me maybe this is why there is so much creep ? . To be honest it's throwing me way off seems like I am jerking and punching my release to early spaying arrows . I want to love this bow so bad because of its feeling so I hope I can get rid of what ever I am doing maybe it just me and it's playing head games . I was also surprised it wasn't faster with my 29 inch 405 grain victory vaps I am getting 305 FPS . Plenty fast for me anyways .

If you were 29" on an Elite, you might be 28-28.5 on an APA. They used to be known to draw long. Not sure about the newer cam design if it draws long also.

Default APA mamba 32

Just thought I would give a update on my recently purchased APA mamba 32.after going 1 inch shorter draw length I can't believe the difference it makes . Totally changed the bow I love how it shoots now I haven't got it dialed in yet but I sure like how there isn't that jumping and creeping forward . I haven't changed the string out yet seems to be ok for now . Thanks for all the tips

How a bow fits you makes all the difference. Don't trust the setting on the bow to be true to DL. Too long a DL is a very common affliction...length does matter

I am glad you feel better with the bow.
Over the years I have found that each bow has a sweet spot where the pin just sits there and the bow fits and does not creep and you do not have to pull too hard into the wall. I found that Mathews and Diamond and my APA each have a different sweet spot.
Too many people try to set the bow long to get every fps they can.
Each bow and each mod has its own character. Find where it feels right and the sight pin is the steadiest. Changing mods will help but I also (making sure it is in time) I will add or take out a twist in the cables or string or adjust the length of the D loop to get it just right.
My indoor bow is a half an inch longer that my hunting bows. It just shoots better.
Garry
