Don Dow 54" longbow?
« on: October 12, 2012, 09:43:00 AM »
I have a draw length of around 27 to 27 1/2 inches. What are your thoughts on his 54" longbow. Thanks

Best bow for the money out there.  there are prettier bows, faster bows, etc., but none more bang for the buck
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

Awesome bows. I would go 56" or 58" for that draw though. 54" would probably work but you would like the couple inches longer version better.

I had one at that length that I wish I wouldn't have sold. Very well built, great shooting, tough hunting bow.

Dont let short bows scare you. I am well pleased with my 56" Lost Creek at my 28" draw. Each design will certainly have it's own draw characteristics and maybe someone of your draw lenght will chime in.

Remember when a "Long Bow" was suppose to be as long as the archer was tall??


I have trouble using the term "Long" for any bow less the 60-66 inches, and that is pushing it.

I like my longbows to be long also, but Don makes a fantastic shooting bow for the money and you won't be let down. Plus he is great to deal with. Super nice guy who stands behind his product. If you're not happy with the bow, he'll make it right. I had one of his 62" longbows and man did it ever shoot nice! Gave it to my dad when I ordered my Great Northern.

I have a 54" and I draw it to 27 1/2 and have no problems.  Like others have said best bang for your buck.  You will not be disappointed.
