What length bbo english style longbow?

[newtotrad]

Hello,

Thinking about getting a BBO longbow in an English style (no r/d).  What length would you suggest? I am 5'8" and have a 27" draw.  Thanks.

NTT, in the English style (and Howard Hill)  I prefer 68" plus bow lengths and I have a 27" draw.  A lot of straight bow shooters will likely chyme in with 66" as a good length, but I personally enjoy 68" plus for a smoother draw on a straight bow.

Shoot straight, Shinken

Thanks for the input.  I am gravitating towards 66" due to my height.

I'm exactly the same as your height and draw length. I have a 68" Liberty ELB 54#@27 and a 66" HH Halfbreed 50#@27. They are both excellent shooters and I wouldn't change the length of either one. That being said, if I was to order a new bow I would probably order a 66".  66" is a good compromise for someone of your height.

Thanks for the input.  Looks like 66" would be the way to go.

the longer the bow the sweeter the draw...PR
