Are you looking for a one piece or 3 piece longbow.  We can do the Oracle in a high wrist.

Several makers like Bob Lee make 3 piece longbows with higher wrist grips (basically a recurve riser with longbow limbs).

Horne's makes a medium grip that may suit your needs.

Probably all of them if you are talking R/D. Grip style is personal preference. Shoot as many as you can to see what you really feel comfortable with.

Any longbow can get higher grip. Wrap with rawhide lace just under thumb/indexfinger.....need higher? use 550 paracord....

Actually, I built up the grip on my Widow PLX with heavy paper under their rubber grip cover.  It looks fine and is a bit like their recurve grips.

Jim Gainey of BlackCreek bows can build one. He has build me two risers with very high grips to match my A&H limbs.
He is a sponsor on this site.
