Thanks Gene, good to hear from you.  I really like that Cheetah.  What length is that bow?  

Xtrema as far as what I've found with longbows thus far and grips that seem to fit me best are.  One piece Morrison Dakota with very low/locator grip, Fox archery Arctic Fox, Thunderhorn Heartstopper, and perhaps my favorite grip was on a Shrew Samurai.  I have found the Centaur medium as well as even a 3 piece Morisson Dakota Low grip to be too high (or perhaps just not shaped right?) for me.

Thanks to all!

St. Joe River builds a Beautiful recurve and will build the handle to your specks!  They are the only bowyer I know that will send you samples of a handle for you to pick or adjust what you want before they build yours!!
It's not the size of the game you take that means Success!
It's the experience of pursuing game that give true Outdoor Success!!!!!

Ford vs Chevy
Go shoot as many bows as you can or contact some the bowyers you are interested in and ask them to send some samples to check out. You might want to put up a of post asking what bowyers are willing to do this for you.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

I'm sorry I did not get back to this post sooner... The Cheetah is 58" AMO and a great shooting bow... I can send it for a trial period if you would like?? All it would cost is shipping and ins.
