I just built Andy Cooper a 62 inch bow with the new limbs I developed for the forward riser three piece. I did mount his on a standard riser. Its a medium D and R but really performs. He could tell you about it. I am shipping another one to Alaska but they don'thave it yet so no imput. This limb works great either on a standard riser or a belly mount and is a perfect limb for foam core and carbon. Thanks for the reccomendations and God bless you all, Steve

Howard Hill Badger is another super smooth and the quietest bow I own.
The Kanati's are a great bow at a great price and Jason is easy to work with.
I haven't tried a Eaglewing or a Hoots yet but I have been watching both very closely. I'm hoping Sixby decides to make a Hunter version of his bow. I'll probably own one if He does.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Lost Creek bows. They are hands down the best I have personally shot. Chad is a fine sponsor here. Give him a call before you buy anything. Whatever you decide good luck with your new bow.

you might want to check out hill country bows and roman hershberger. He has a beautiful bow called the wildcat that is a forward riser design and it can be fitted with either longbow or recurve limbs. I just purchased the longbow version, the pics are under "the one" on pow wow if you want to take a look at it. It is a super nice bow.

Bob Sarrels makes a great handle forward longbow, I'm very fond of called Blackhills II. He's a sponsor here so take a look at his website, a great bow at a great price. I don't use a 62" but he does make one.

I'll second the Wildcat by Roman at Hill Country bows. Outstanding workmanship and a great shooting bow.
The Wildcat has a good deal of R/D and the forward handle as you mentioned. There's one in the classifieds right now that's a pretty good deal. 62" and 50#@28".

Black Widow normally releases any new designs the first week of January. Their current "longbow" is a pretty normal hybrid with a not particulary forward handle geometry.

Kanati, Shrew, RER they all make that has that riser that is far forward as you say. Black Widow, I say it will be an ILF rig and they may have LB limbs for it. Shawn

Most of them that have been listed are shorter bows.
Greg starting to make the 62 shrew. I shot one last year at the Kazoo expo and liked it.
Griffin makes some longer bows and they are very nice, but hard to find and long wait. John doesn't make many 62's from what I hear. The 64 is more common and a great bow.
You can get a 62 Kanati. I shot one yesterday. Very nice. The thing was light draw for me and I was real surprised how fast it was shooting my heavy arrows. A Kanati is on my list.
To me the best all around forward handle 3PC TD is the Hill Country Wildcat. Real dead in the hand, quiet, and very good speed for a forward handle. Shoot light and heavy arrows well. The price is right and workmanship excellent. The harvest master is also great in a 1 pc.
