Any 60" bows good for long draws?

[Sixby]

The 60 in Talon will handle that easily. Check out my website to see it.

Great info guys, looks like I have more options than I thought.

My reason for posting (other than general knowledge) is that I am looking for a different recurve and having trouble finding the right one in 62", but find tons in 60".

Another vote for the PCH.

Give Mike Rash a call of Legends Bows ( sponser) he has a tornado that is excellent for long draws. Thanks Jerry.

My draw is 30 1/2, and I shoot 60" bows, Super K's, and Predator without problems. Check out Bruin Bows. I pulled a few of their 56 or 58" bows, and was amazed how smooth they were. But, I still prefer my 64" Super K's, RER and 62" Predator over the 60 inchers.

I know Jim Neaves' Centaur bows can handle your draw. A 60" will handle a 31" draw according to his website!
And Lucas Novotny's 54 inch Turk will handle a 32 inch draw.

Aside from those I would guess most forward handle style bows, especially recurves, will handle that draw at both 58 and 60 length.

Good luck, and show us some pics when you get one! ^^

I shoot a 60" silvertip and I draw it to 30". Absolutely no stack at all! Probably the smoothest bow I've ever had in my hands. Bar none! Never have drawn a 62" but if thier smoother...O my goodness, I would like to try one! Jason

I never had a problem with any recurve with my 29.5 inch draw, But longbows a different matter.  I was talked into a 60" St. Joe River longbow and absolutely LOVE it!  smooth, fast, forgiving, and Accurate!  When you get into shorter bows for longer draws I think design of the bow makes a huge difference for forgiveness and accuracy.  The St. Joe River bow has a wide limb, and forward handle, a reflex deflex limb but is designed that when strung takes on the shape and forgiveness of a string follow bow. I have been extremely impressed with this bow!

I draw 29 inches and have been shooting a 64 inch recurve. I wanted some thing shorter and went with a 58 in Kanati from Jason. Very impressive and NO hand shock. I love this bow! 1Longbow

The Chastain Wapiti works very well for long draws. I have a 58" Wapiti "SL" that is very smooth.

Call Mike Rash at legends bows. He shoots all of his bows and he has a 31 inch draw!

Great bows even greater guy.

I have a 60 inch Tornado and I draw about 29.75 and it is smooth and fast.

I have a long draw also and have had just about every bow out there. From my experience just about any boyer out there can accommadate your needs. The best way to go about it is find the bow or bow style you want or like call a couple different bowyers and talk with them. Most bowyers out there will send you a bow on a test drive to see for yourself. Or if you can attend one of the bigger Trad shoots that alot of Vendors attend go and shoot the different bows.
  From my experience most hybrid longows like Shrews and Kanati's or Big Jim's Thunderchild will shoot very well with a long draw.
 Recurves like the Widow PSA and PCH or the Hoots and Bob Lee one piece.
 There are still alot of bows out there that I plan to shoot but these are the ones that I favored so far. Good luck, Ed

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Big Ed is right bro... you can get decent string angle out of a shorter bow if you have the right combination going on.  here are a couple of 60"
Sasquatch long bow pics at 30" And 32" draw lengths.
