I'm looking to make a slightly shorter longbow as my current one is 68" NTN. I made it over 30 years ago, and it's a bit unwieldy in a tree.  I'm looking for 60# at 31" in a  reflex deflex design.  How short can I reasonably go without stacking, and how much reflex/deflex do I want?
I'm looking for shootability for  deer hunting above all else, so I will gladly give up a few fps for something easier to shoot accurately.  This should hopefully be a spring project, so I'm trying to get my thoughts together a bit ahead of time and would appreciate any advice y'all have to offer.

Thanks

First off you really don't need 60 lbs. 50 would be plenty. Look at something like a Thunderchild. A short riser a lot of deflex and reflex. And a 58 in. Would go 31-2 draw. If Kenny still has plans his FHLB might be just right.

I'm out of plans but Eric at bendingbranchbows.com is selling my plans and router templates now and the parts to build bows .

So Kenny is this who we can order from instead of you. Being your retired?

Yes, he is still stocking stuff, so doesn't have all of it in yet.
