Favorite R/D Longbow Length?

[59Alaskan]

64"

60.....probably doesn't qualify for a longbow but it's my favorite bo that is not a recurve and my preferred hunting weapon

[Brook Trout]

62-64"

Well I can't help think it depends on which bow (design)… never really shot any "mild" r/d longbows. Have had some more "aggressive" r/d's, and I seem to like a 60" bow overall.

My wife's Whip (a little less r/d than my bows are/have been), a 62"". Sure would like to try that bow in a 64".

I draw 27.5, give or take a little. Voted 60", just because that's what suits me best for the r/d's I've shot.

56" for me.

Blacktail recurve = 66"
Fox traditional longbow = 66"
Fox Triple Crown longbow - 68"
Hill Wesley Special - 70"

I like my 56" R/D like my Elkheart thunder children and shrews

I have a 60" Centaur Triple Carbon Elite I like but I shot a 56" Java Man Elkheart yesterday that was very nice even at my 29" draw

My favorite longbow is a Morrison Shawnee. I have limbs from 56" to 62". I seem to like the 62" better than all the other lengths. They just seem the smoothest for me.(even though my draw length is 27" at most).

64"

Not a Bell curve so far....

gotta go with 64" although I have hunted with a few 66" bows and they shoot great, but I found that at my a little less than 28" draw a 64 will do anything a 66 will and be a little more compact. and I can put a 64" on my boot tip and it makes a great monopod for my binos
