What is the longest longbow you have used?

68" Bow River longbow by Rick Lepp. You don't seem to run into too many longer than that anymore.

70" Hill so far, building a 72" currently.

69" sky Trophy Longbow, it was a good shooter, hard as hell to shoot out of a treestand, never killed a deer with it.

68" for me, still do, my BowRiver Whitetailer 68" 72#@30 made for me, my first custom bow, a mild R\\D!

I've only owned one hybrid longbow in my lifetime and that was a 68" Belcher "Longhorn".

72" target, 70" hunting

70" for my Hills. I have three like that, with a fourth on the way. Coming from a 64" Black Widow PL background, I was a little worried about how long a 70" Hill would be. No need to worry, it isn't much of a difference, but it makes a world of difference in how well I can shoot the Hills.

straitera · January 20, 2012, 06:29:00 AM

70" Tembo & Big 5.

The Whittler · January 20, 2012, 08:11:00 AM

My first a 64" JD Berry. It's was what the bowyers recommend.

two4hooking · January 20, 2012, 08:16:00 AM

69" Sky Trophy Longbow. Killed my first two deer with that bow. I am now considering a 70 inch Hill.....

David Mitchell · January 20, 2012, 08:41:00 AM

70" Hill Big Five has been my longest.

JR Williams · January 20, 2012, 09:07:00 AM

68 in. Just for 3D, not hunting,66 in for hunting. Although I don't feel a 68 in hunting bow would be a handicap. We humans are quite adaptable.
