What is your prefered bow length if you draw 30 inches or better?
Bob.
If its a bow that will just be used for hunting i like a 64in.
My 32+" draw is handled by bows from 56" (Shrew Classic Hunter) to 68" (ChekMate Crusader). It is all in the design. Favorite right now is a 64" Griffin. Each of these are just as smooth as can be on the draw with no stack. I will say that the longer bow are "easier" to shoot. That 56" is a heck of a shooter, but not tolerant of improper handling (come to think of it, thats kind of like my wife.. :cool: ..)
I guess 64" as it is the only bow I own. It works fine for me. I would guess the individual maker, and limb material would have quite a lot to do with it.
I started out drawing 29.5, and as I clean up my form I find I'm drawing about 31". (I say about because I'm still trying variations on my anchor point).
My next one will be 68", then I'll have something to compare it to.
Nate, the most accurate bow I shoot is a 68 inch Leon Stewart R/D longbow. It is soooo quiet!! I do not get all I could out of it as my 30 inch draw is enough to complete the power stroke.
That said, I am hunting with it this year and really like it ... kinda real long, but still great accuracy!
