Since I am a finger shooter, anywhere between 44 and 46 will do.

Longer for fingers but since I only shoot a release, shorter the better especially for tree stands & long walkabouts.

In speaking with CPO we have been told they are working on offering both shorter and longer ATA bows for the future. Participating in these polls gives everyone a better understanding of what shooters want.

Don't care how long the bow is as long as the drawn length is 31" -32"s.

Something a heck of a lot shorter than my 31" draw length Strike Eagle. I love the bow and it's been rock solid dependable for two decades but I can't get a new hard case that'll fit it anymore and I need to put down the rear seat in my SUV in order to transport it. I haven't looked at the new Oneida models to see what the current options are so I refrained from voting for now. I like the concept of the micro bows from other manufactures but haven't shot any of them to know how they compare. I'm a die-hard Oneida shooter, so I'll most likely buy a new Oneida regardless of overall length.

i voted 38 oal simply because I use my bow for hunting and find it easier to carry a shorter bow threw the woods when loaded down with gear.

I went shooting today and realized that it's a Strike Eagle, not a Screaming Eagle. After 20 years, you'd think I'd know what I have.

Pete the strike eagle is a very long bow tip to tip. All of the CPOneida Eagle Bows made today are shorter/lighter and have much smaller grips.

I would like my bow to be in the 44-45" range.

I just prefer the longer bows maybe because of my 33" draw
