I dont like short bows, they are not stable enough for me even with short draw length. I want my bows 60" to 64", hang what every one says, that is what I shoot the best! You need to shoot a wide variety of bows and see what works for you. Sam.

All my longbows are either 68" or 66". To me the longer bows are smoother to draw. I also agree that they seem to be more forgiving. The length has neve been a problem shooting from an elevated stand, but I use ladder stands with no structue below except the ladder itself.
