Title: Don Dow 54" longbow?
Post by: Panzer on October 12, 2012, 09:43:00 AM: I have a draw length of around 27 to 27 1/2 inches. What are your thoughts on his 54" longbow. Thanks

I have trouble using the term "Long" for any bow less the 60-66 inches, and that is pushing it.

Plus he is great to deal with. Super nice guy who stands behind his product. If you're not happy with the bow, he'll make it right. I had one of his 62" longbows and man did it ever shoot nice! Gave it to my dad when I ordered my Great Northern.

Post by: blueslfb on October 13, 2012, 04:47:00 AM: I have a 54" and I draw it to 27 1/2 and have no problems. Like others have said best bang for your buck. You will not be disappointed.
