Does anyone use their XLR for hunting or is it meant to be a target bow only. Im looking for a long axle to axle bow with a forgiving brace height to hunt (mostly treestand hunting) with that will go out to 31.5" Draw length.

I live in South Africa and have 2 XLR`s . One in 70# and one in 80#. These are the only bows I hunt with. I have a 32" dl and have never owned or shot anything better in my opinion.
I agree- It's just a tool to get the arrow through two lungs. If you like the feel of it, go for it. Confidence is everything.

Mathews Conquest 3
Pure & ZMag sold- now what?
I use mine for everything...Only issue is in a ground blind w/ my longer draw of 31.5"
"....strange situation...wild occupation...livin' my life like a song..."
The XLR is an excellent hunting bow.....forgiving geometry to shoot, plenty of speed, and 37" ATA is not a problem in the woods. Get one....or two today!!!

buy all means grip it and rip it. I have enough energy out of mine at 60# and 30" draw to drop animals.

special hunting stailizer (made in germany) works well with every setup, due to the good tuning options... if anyone wants to know pm me
