What is the preferred bridge length and what are the pros and cons between a long bridge vs short. And how hi do you put your tree strap?

My bridge is 6 feet and i use a blakes hitch tied to the rigging plate to adjust it. Youre far better off with a adjustable bridge, nothing makes a hunt end quicker then being in discomfort.

Im using a Ultratech 9mm 28 inch spliced sewn bridge. I buy it through wesspur. All you need then are some carabiners. The length works well for me.

I use a fixed 24 inch bridge. I find if your bridge gets too long it starts to get in the way when you are shooting. There is always a balance.
