I'm Matty's polar opposite here.  64" sounds wonderful! Jason from the movie "Field of dreams" with a twist....If you build it..They will buy it! rat'

My next longbow will be at least 62", if that helps.  Not interested in short longbows.

Jason, i have a 56in that I love and shoot well. I would hate to see you get rid of that one. That said, I have had a hankering for a longer bow just to shoot so I voted longer. You should do both.

I've come to prefer longer bows, so that's how I voted, but it really sounds like it is time to enlarge the shop.

Ha! I sure wish I could Fletcher, it would be nice.

I sure wont be getting rid of the current Kanati. I just feel like adding another something. Thanks for the feedback so far.

I voted longer because I think it would add to your marketability. Personally I liked the few kanati's have already shot.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

x2 on the enlarged shop.
Voted longer; however, I have owned a 56" and 58". The 58" is my go to bow, but had no problems with the 56". Would still be shooting it, if it had not developed a problem.

I'm voting shorter yet. 54" would be awesome for us shorter draw guys. 54" is probably my favorite of all bows. Why carry any more than what you need?  Your 56" is awesome to shoot.

Oh Rat were not opposites. It'd be hard to steer me away from my 60"er I neeally like the stability of a "longer" bow. But like the compact-ness of a short one either one would be fine for me.
I've harrassed JK Alot about this... But what we do need to talk him into is a 2PC!!!    :p

My 60" is a perfect hunting bow. A longer one might be nice for those guys I know with gorilla arms, but it will be hard to beat a 60" Kanati. My 2 cents worth.
