Let's see your LONG bows! (68"+)

Hey, the general trend seems to be for shorter to mid length bows, but I would love to see some of your guys' LONG bows!  Thanks!

well, I had made A red oak board bow for a friend with a 29" draw,72" tip to tip,40# at 29", but then I piked it to 66". unfortunately I didn't get any pics before it was piked    :( , does 66" count?

well, here are the pics of the bow, these were taken before I made a string for it.
 
 
 
The wrapping on the handle was stripped off so that I could finish it, but I don't have any pics of that. Hope you get some pics of some big elbs with horn nocks and all the fixing   :D .

Here's a 68 incher.  And despite popular opinion, you can use bows of this length out of a treestand.

Gotta go back a few years for one that long, but this is still a favorite.  70" Osage ELB w/ antelope horn nocks, no grip or shelf...just a burned line to mark the arrow pass.  It draws 88# @ 30", but I'm short and normally draw it to 25" when not "warbow" shooting.
