For hunting, a 68" Mohawk.  Never noticed any issues with the longer length.

My 66" Shelton is the longest so far. I haven't blooded it yet but have hunted with it a few times and have not felt handicapped by the length thus far.

62" which is plenty for me.

I don't really get the appeal of longer bows, at least from a practical hunting perspective, but maybe that's not what it's about.

70" tip to tip MR Hamilton Scorpion.  She is out in the shop, delaminated.  That was a good shooting son of a gun.     :(

I have two 70" bows.  I hunt with one 60#@28" and the other is for form work.  I killed my Texas hog with it last year.

Orion

68-inch Hill. I like the 66 inchers better for a 28-9njch draw.  Come to think of it , I also shot a 70-inch yew selfbow.  Very smooth, but no arrow shelf.  Took a little adjustment, but a nice shooter.
