Carlr2s,
Yes, they both were the original longbows. Not the Defiant or Dauntless. The 51 lb was 64 inch and the 45 lb was 66 inch. He also has a Robertson Stick bow in 62 inch. I have a new Bear Montana in 45 @ 28. We shot all of them and I like the Dwyers the best. My Montana was close, but there was definitely some superiority in the Dwyers. The Robertson shot fast and hard, but was not quite as smooth. Again, I'm not a real expert on longbows, but you can bet I will be after I take my first animal:) Lin
