I'm a bit big for the 29.5, but ended up getting the shorter to be more equipped all around. I max the draw at 30, generally am a 30.5 but works perfectly for tighter shots. Whether shooting from a blind, treestand, or chasing elk in the mountains. Done it all with the lift x and can say its the best bow I've had the pleasure of shooting and owning. I imagine I will follow mathews for awhile if they keep moving in this direction. It's light, quiet, deadly accurate and extremely consistent. Great job with this bow guys! Have had zero issues with it and have shot quite a bit. Owned this thing since March and plan on keeping it for years. 40 yards from a saddle stand and hit the exact point I was aiming for. With slight shakes and always with a bit of buck fever, the bow performed immaculately. I salute you Mathews Archery!
