I have several 66" (and longer) longbows.  My current favorite is my Two Tracks Echo, a Hill Style string follow.  Smooth, fast, quiet, no hand shock, excellent workmanship, very reasonable price, and Chuck is great guy to talk to.  Should be getting my second one in the near future

So pumped. Thanks for the input guys.

I think I am on my 6th or 7th longbow but was primarily a recurve guy earlier and still have more curves and longbows actually on my walls.

that being said...I am a fan of the Mohawk Sparrowhawk and the Robertson Primal Styk if interested in RD Longbow...

I think Dick Robertson was one of the first bowyers to come out with an RD longbow....

go to ETAR or another and shoot as many as you can find but any of the reputable bowyers will do fine but as you can see...there is a large number of options...some from guys doing it for 40 years and some from relative new bowyers...all good....it really is PERSONAL PREFERENCE once you select a reputable bowyer with a proven track record.

Good luck and wish you straight shots and short blood trails with the Fox Triple Crown.
Keep em sharp,
