Choosing 60" or 62" inch new pronghorn. Any opinions  plus or minus??

IMO, probably not too much difference, unless you have an abnormally long draw.

Herb would probably tell you 60.  He is not a big advocate of bows longer than 60.

I'd go with the shorter one for a hunting bow.

I have a 60 and a 62=62 better overall and I have a real short draw at 24.5

Hmmm....I currently shoot a 74" longbow 29" @60# and herb recommended I get a 63" 28" @ 60# from him.

I use a 58" and a 56". With no problems. I think he would recommend a 58 or 60". (I pull 26"). Pronghorns don't lose power or cast when they are shorter.

My trad drawlenght is 26".  I have a 1-piece 62" Pronghorn, 51 lbs.  I'm very happy with this bow and really feel that a 62" is the perfect length for me (smooth shooting, accurate and easy to hunt with.)  Best of luck in your decision.  Either way, you will have a top quality bow.

I draw 26" and shoot a 56" one piece.
