Title: 62" R/D longbow Draw Length
Post by: stickem1 on March 21, 2012, 07:22:00 PM
I want to get a 62" R/D longbow, looking at a widow PL. I see that Widow recommends 29"DL for there 62" bow and mine is 30". Will that be a problem and does anyone out there shoot that style of bow with a 30"dl?
Thanks,
Andy

You should prob ask Widow that question if you haven't. They won't do ya wrong.  :thumbsup:  

My 58" D/R will go to 29.5" before the FD changes and the string goes past square with limb.

That is with use of power lam and tip wedge to manipulate the bend in limb, making it bend more in midlimb.
