I usually prefer longbows in the 66-60" range.  Any longer and I run into maneuverability issues.  Any shorter and I run into smoothness and accuracy issues.  Happy hunting, Matt

64" and 60" Fox longbows.  Used the long one the last 2 years, but am really leaning toward the 60" incher for hunting.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

This year - a brand new 66" HH Halfbreed.

Last year (and the previous 15-20) - a used 62" DH Hunter.

Hi All,

For years I only hunted with my Bear Kodiak Magnum at 52 inches.  Due to a damaged limb, I've retired the old boy, and now shoot a 62" Tomahawk.

64-inch ACS hybrid and Robertson longbows, 66-inch Hills and a 60 inch GN Critter gitter for the blind.

Usually 62" in a regular D/R longbow or 58" in a recurve or hybrid.  My 58" Selway Lil Mag (Centaur) is a GREAT hunting bow.    :help:
