I am new to shooting the longbow after years of shooting a compound and I was looking at Kohannah bowyer for a potential new bow. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this bowyer. Any insight would be helpful. The one problem I am running into is my long draw length of 31.5" and finding a longbow that does not stack.

Bob R. makes a great bow. Call him up and ask about the draw length.

I have one of Bob's Kurves and love it. He is a good guy to deal with and is very willing to help. Give him a call, you won't be sorry.  

I draw 29+", I had a Kohannah Elite 3 pc. longbow that was an excellent shooter and fit and finish was very good. I dropped down in poundage or I would still have it! Oh yea.....mine was 66" long!

I agree with smilinicon. Bob does make a great bow at a very reasonable price. I have 2 now and have had 2 others I wish I still owned. My draw is 29.5 so afraid I can't help you there...call Bob about your draw lenght.

KIRK RUSSELL!(well it's close) Welcome to Trad Gang just the same.
Just a quick question for you. Is that 31.5" draw length with a compound or a traditional bow? It will be different between the two. Good luck and enjoy. Bob's bows are real good,you will be happy with your choice,

Bob makes a great bow and his prices are very reasonable as well. I wouldn't hestitate to use him as a bowyer.

I agree with Two Tracks about your draw length.  There definitely should be a difference between your draw length on a compound versus a trad bow.  Kohannah have a great reputation.  You wno't go wrong with this choice.

I just won a Kohannah in the St. Judes auction. Very pleased with it. Shoots great and I have a 31" draw. I think I like it better than my Bear Super K. Nice looker too.

I own a fantastic Osage longbow from Bob and a kid's longbow also of Osage made for my boy. Great guy to deal with and his workmanship is very good. I have received lots of comments about my bow; shoots smoothly and accurately (in the right hands  

The 31.5 draw length is what was measured at the local traditional shop when i tried a few of the longbows there. While I liked what they had to offer they mostly had shorter bows which wanted to stack on me.

My first custom longbow was a Kohannah Windwalker. 66", 53# @ 29". Kick myself everyday wishing I never got rid of it. But, such is life and right now, I can't pull 50#'s with my shoulder.



Bob's bows are great pieces of work and he is an outstanding guy to do business with. You can't go wrong with his bows.  

I have had a few Kohannah's,a Kurve and a couple of his longbows.They all were great shooting bows,fit and workmanship is great.I think they are an excellent buy in trad bows these days,he has been building bows for many years.

I have a wind walker and can say the workmanship is top notch, smooth shooters as well.

I had a 62 inch kahannah elite l/b 50@28 very smooth shooting bow and beautiful to hold.

Thanks for all the info guys.
