What are yalls thoughts on a 62" howard hill bow? I hunt out of blinds and treestands alot.I have a 27.5 to 28" draw.
force, I have a 64" HH bow that shoots well for me with a 29.5" draw. You should be OK with a 62" at your draw. String angle becomes the biggest factor in percieved stacking. They're not called "long"bows without reason.
I have a 62" Monarch Imperial, also have a 29" draw.
The bow is 80#@29 and I absolutely love the way it shoots. No problems with finger pinch and I shoot it just as well as my 66" Imperial and 66" Wes Wallace Royal.
If you need the 62" to shoot from tighter spaces I don't see where you will have any ill effects by doing so.
The 62" bow is my preferred length for hunting whether shooting a longbow or recurve. The only exception would be my 60" Bear Kodiaks and a 58" Damon Howatt.
I draw 28" with a Hill style longbow grip and prefer 66" minimum. The Hill design is great at longer lengths. I think a 62" bow may work for you but will not be as smooth drawing as a longer Hill.
Good luck on your new Hill, I have a 66" Hill Cheetah that I just love.
I've had several 60" Hills and loved them, but then, I have a shorter draw. For hunting from a blind, I think 62" would be a great choice for a normal draw. They get a bit quicker with the shorter length, too.
I hunt out of trees and blinds with a 64."
