i'm thinking of upgrading my bow . dick's has on sale a martin tracer . it sounds like a nice bow . some specs : 32 " axle to axle ,wieghs 3.9 lbs , one cam , 75% let off , includes assessory package- (quiver, rest ,sites) for 300 dollars . my friend was concerned with the length , too short . said it makes for an unforgiving shoot sometimes .is it too short ? anyone know what f.p.s. it will shoot at ?
the bow will be used for hunting deer only .i'm currently using a martin maverick with 65 % let off .
do i need to replace my old bow ? wrench .
ps - forgot to mention its all i can afford if buying a new one .

As Zwickey said most shots are short range.... My experience is that most folks are shooting way to heavy for whitetail. 50# to 60# is a good plenty.
If there is no burning reason to get rid of your old bow..... stick with it.
I shoot my old Martin Couger Mag and after nearly 25 years it still shoots nice.... and looks great!
increase in speed would be nice .also i cannot get a pass thru
with my arrow . it would increase the blood trail .
thanks , wrench .
