wouldn't have a hill-style without a locator.  i have a moab.  there is a big difference 'tween that handle shape and a hill w/locator.

I haven't shot the locator grip but, I do like the dished over the straight. My "Owl" is straight and my "Redman" is dished. The new "Tembo" will have a dished grip also. Hopefully it will be here today!   :pray:

Rob, you don't know how bad I wanted that Wesley! I just didn't have the funds at the time. I wish Jay would make that Pac Yew in 68-70". I'd place an order in a heart beat.

Rob what did you not like about the 64"? I tend to favor shorter bows. 50-52" on my curves. Love my 68" R/D long bow too. Just prefer shorter.

I don't know about Rob but, I found mine to be not as stable when shooting like a 68" on up bow. It shot pretty good but, I couldn't get consistent with it so, I let it go.

the pac-yew longbow is currently only available in one length - 64".  even though it's got some backset/reflex in the limbs, it's not good for my 29+" draw length.  might get away with 28", but would be perfect for 27".  it is an amazing longbow in both draw and release.  i'm just emailed jay to see if he'd build me a t/d classic at 68".  i ain't holding my breath, though.

i'm with tw - for hill type longbows, the design predicates the absolute need for a longer overall bow length, to better work with such a short riser and long limbs.  far more so if there's no backset, and they're straight, or worse yet with bellyset (string follow).

I too pull 29". Rob, let me know what Jay says. Maybe enough of us long draws can get him to build a new form.
