Re: What would you do?
I'd sell the MQ and forgo the headaches.

That's a sweet little bow! If the draw length can be changed with little problem and expense, I'd keep it as a second rig.

Find a local Mathews dealer and see what you can come up with.

Kilmer,
My draw length, actual from the pivot point to the nock, is also short - 27.25". I looked at the Mathews bows about 5 years ago and couldn't get one to perform with the short draw length. They shot accurately, but bled off a lot of the advertised speed as the draw length shortened. Also, they seem to lose speed at a faster rate when you move up from the 5 grains of arrow per pound of draw weight. To get a shorter draw you may be looking at another module and definitely another set of cables and string. Get it set up at a competant bow shop and experiment. If you do not feel satisified you lost some time and effort, practice time, and maybe 100 bucks or so. Most of all you will gain experience with another popular brand of bow and will probable have shot some more arrows than you would have if you don't try it out. Both are a plus.

Maybe you all can help me with a pretty high class problem I'm having.

Last night, at the local RMEF banquet, I won a Mathews MQ32. It has a draw lenght of 30", but my draw length is only 26".

I'm trying to decide whether I should just sell the Mathews (I have a Martin Tracer that I bought last year that I am satisfied with), or keep it, change the draw length, and trip the Martin.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure, based on info on the Mathews site, that the draw length is pretty easily shortened. What I don't know is how much it would cost for the new cam. Any Mathews experts out there?

Thanks in advance for your input.

If you are happy with your present set up, sell the new one.
