alright; which is the best r/d longbow???

[Rob DiStefano]

... now repeat that over and over again until ya get it straight.  

NOW GO DO THE BEST THING ya can - keep trying out as many bows as possible and MAKE UP YER OWN MIND AS TO WHAT SUITS YA "BEST" ...

... or just buy into everyone's opinions about what's good FOR THEM, buy what's recommended, and hope that yer feelin' lucky ... you feelin' lucky?

I've liked every 21st Century bow I've shot. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure how short they go though, my shortest is 62".

Another one you might want to try is a Dwyer Endeavor.

I just recently got mine from Dave and couldn't be happier. (Well, I would be happier if it came with an Arizona elk tag.)
