Mine is a 60" and I draw 30". Can't tell you yet but I have hade a 60" recurve before with no problems. At a 28" draw you shouldn't have any trouble with a 58 or 56 incher for that matter. The 60 will be a little more forgiving though.

You could probably shoot either one. As stated in my original post, the bow seems shorter when carrying it thru the woods. I had planned on getting a 58" but liked the looks of this one better. I don't think I made a bad decision to go with this one.

I have to agree with y'all, JD makes one heck of a nice bow. I had the 58" demo in my sweaty mitts for a week and hated to send it on it's way.

The 60" is sooooo smoooth,, but I think that is one of JD's biggest advantage to his bows,, they are butter smooth,, very positive point and well balanced in the feild,, oh yeah whisper quite, I love jd's bows and hope to have a few of them in the future,, for a Michiganiac bow builder,,he's a rockin dude for sure,, Good Job JD and God bless you in you endevor on you bow building,,

Great looking bow,,

What is the brace height on that 60" bow. It looks like they have a high brace height.

I agree with whitebuffalo, my 60" Mojostik is super smooth, dead quiet and points great.

britts, I believe JD recommends a 7 3/4 to 8 inch BH on the 60"

In a 53# whisperstik recurve @28 shooting 29.5 inch arrows with 150 or 180 German kinetic Sliverflame BH what would be yalls arrow of choice, say carbon???

When you are looking for arrows for the whisprstik, you will probably need a stiffer spine than you think. JD says that all the time and in my experience it is true. On a 56# at 29.5" figure that to be a 62# bow. With that much weight in the front, I would say your arrows will need to be 65-80's, maybe more. Multitudes of choices in arrows. And, I also believe each archer can shoot a different arrow from the same bow. Try some different ones in that range and find what you like. Whisperstiks will blister carbons at un-godly speeds.

Recurve 60" inches 53# @28 , I want to shoot a good carbon, thought like 150 or 250 CX...but which one with 150 or 180 grain head..???

Chris Surtees · « **Reply #30 on:** March 06, 2008, 02:34:00 PM »

Sweet looking bow. My list of have to tries is getting longer and longer.

Sticks only · « **Reply #31 on:** March 06, 2008, 03:07:00 PM »

I would have to say the 250's will work. The 150 is going to be too weak out of that bow.

Crash · « **Reply #32 on:** March 06, 2008, 04:49:00 PM »

I agree with Sticks. I am shooting 44 at 28 inches using a 150 29.5" long with a 175 grain head. I think you would need the 250.

thanks guys!!!!! I will try some if I can find couple to try..Mark#78

Wasn't home today but the mail lady left me one of those slips. I'll be waiting when the post office opens tommorrow.

Skoey · « **Reply #35 on:** March 06, 2008, 10:43:00 PM »

I just got my 58" longbow from JD today. I recently sold a longbow and wasn't going to get another one for awhile but after talking to him on the phone I couldn't resist. The limbs are waterfall bubinga with a paduak riser. Now I just have to wait for some arrows. JD was extremely helpful and friendly and sent email updates on the progress of the bow.

Well, I'm not bashing JD, as I just know he's busy with life and filling all your orders for new bows, but.....I had a couple of short emails with JD about one of his stock bows, and he told me he'd send additional pics within a couple of days...That was over almost 2 weeks ago.

I emailed him twice since to gently remind him, but no reply.

Sorry about the wait on the pics. The bow isn't at my house to take pics of. I'll try to remember my camera the next time I stop into the archery shop that it is hanging at. JD

Got my OLDSCHOOL mojo today. Love the grip. The bow is very quiet and smoking fast. Smooth out past 30" too. I have to find the right arrow, nock point and brace height combo. I know it is going to take a stiffer arrow than I thought. 53@28" 60" Whisperstick, Old School riser, kingwood osage and bloodwood. Osage and yew limbs. Leather grip. Here is some pics...
