64" is pretty easy to come by in long bows?

I have a 64" Toelke Super Static,and really like it. I've had it in the pop up blind,but like it better out stalking. This bow is really smooth,and seems pretty quick.

I kind of like the looks of the static.

If I was to test a Bear Super Kodiak 60" and 64" side by side, what would I notice? - a smoother draw with less stack but less speed and power perhaps?
Considering moving up to 64".
Thanks

64 inch Black Widow MA3 has been my go-to bow for a long time and has never let me down.

The one vintage bow I sold and would love to have back was a 70" 50# 1959 Kodiak Special. An absolute pleasure to shoot.
My next custom will be a 64" Tall Tines.

All my recurves are 64-68". You learn to shoot your weapon. No issues here.

My hunting recurves are all 64" and I haven't had any problems due to length.

I prefer 62 inch recurves with my 28" draw. My Bear A mag riser is now sporting #3 limbs making a 60" bow. No problems with that. Owned a Bear B riser with same #3 limbs as above, making a 64" bow. Preferred the 60" over the 64", so I sold the B riser. My 62" Flanagan recurve is my personal favorite when it comes to length at my draw length. Of course if Bear ever goes back to making #2 limbs I'll have to buy a set.

Mine range from 62" to 66"..I won't go shorter with a 30+" draw. I even own a 68" Browning Olympian that is hunting weight. I haven't hunted with it yet but I may eventually. Smoothest bow I own

Usually the longer bows will be smoother. I've a 64" Blacktail Elite that is VERY smooth.

I hunt with 64" longbows and recurves from the ground and from treestands, only time I felt it was a real problem was small game in willow bottoms! Otherwise I just setup so it's not a problem!

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!
