I have an Alpine Ridge Runner and a High Country compound bows.Both are about 39" to 40" axel to axel.I shoot fingers with those bows very well.If you get much shorter,it gets harder to shoot with fingers.I cannot even begin to shoot with a release.Just feels too unnatural and makes the bow feel too mechanical.Really takes away from the feel of what shooting a bow is really all about.Ipicked up my bows on Ebay for a real reasonable price.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
