Look at where the sharkfins are in relation to the handle. (Sorry - Riffe site again.) And as others, elsewhere have pointed out, Riffe's have quite a bit of lumber behind the handle. For reference, the top gun in the picture is 96cm.
sorry, what i meant by range was the amount you loose in your reach. I understand that the band stretch will be the same but you loose about a foot of reach. maybe not a problem.
