Title: 68" Recurves
Post by: slade on March 31, 2009, 10:43:00 AM
I am looking for a 68" Recurve or R/D Hybrid Longbow. Any ideas on Bowyers?
I looked at the Brack Non-Typical but it has a two year wait.

Martin Vision has a locator style recurve handle and R/D limbs. 66". Worth a try.

The Martin Vision is good for a 32" draw!

Love my ChekMate Crusader....68" r/d LB (and I pull it 32")  Rock solid, smooth & stable.  Not the fastest, but that doesn't matter.  They look real nice too.  Lots of wood choices.  Fenominal service (the retailer and the bowyer).

slade,

I've been looking around a little for you to get you started and found this! Still working on long arrows.

Thanks Bill, maybe I could play with this while I wait. No need for arrows, I shoot full length Carbon Express Heritage's.

Mirage riser with long HEX5 limbs from Border Archery/Scotland
Very comfortable and pretty fast.

slade, I know you said 68", but Checkmate makes the King's Pawn at 64". I have one, and it is my favorite 'curve.
