The last one I owned was the Mathews Conquest II before I went to a longbow for good.

The Conquest was supposed to be good. I have a Rival Pro set up for fingers, but I only pull 27in, and still get a tad of finger pinch on a long string of shooting. That Hoyt bow that Chuck Adams always used (the Caribou?) is the finger bow standard for compounds.

The best is a Barnsdale. Dave is the best limb maker in the business.

I have a Hoyt Vantage LTD that is a great finger bow, that being said I'll likely be selling it soon to return to my longbows.

I need 31 to 32 draw length that makes it even harder> Thanks for all the comments. I shoot several recurves but my shoulders are in bad shape.

The LTD goes to 32 at least, mine is set at 31.5 currently. Great with a full length 2317.

I shot fingers with a compound for a short while before I went back to a recurve full time. That was when the Bowtech Pro40 was still a hot new bow.
I don't think you're going to find much with a long enough axle to axle to shoot fingers in today's bow market. It doesn't jive with the "Laze it, and shoot it at 85 yards because I saw it on TV" crowd.

Of course I know how to patch drywall

Hoyt Vantage LTD now called the Hoyt Tribute. Nothing even comes close to competeting with it. 45" Axle to Axle, 8" Brace Height. If you want a real finger compound this is your bow.

The last one I owned, Matthews Q2XL, was quite nice. 2000' vintage and I sold it last year for $200.00. Strictly recurve off the shelf now and I hunt on the ground as well. I found shooting a traditional bow from a tree stand to be a bitch. They tend to be on the long side for trees.

Rick that is a short A to A for finger shooting. I would not recommend it at all. And if you have any intentions at all for shooting spots forget it.

I am 6'4" and shoot fingers. I have the Hoyt Vanatage LTD. If I were you I would look for either a nice used Vantage LTD or a Reflex Caribou.
