Just curious what the average length straight bow is. Gonna make you pick your favorite.

Mostly 66", but I have bows up to 72". Current two favourites are 66" and 70".

I'll have a 66" soon. Currently, two at 60" and two at 62". Like the short hybrids for hunting. We'll see about the longer bow.

Can you define straight longbow?

Wudstix · « **Reply #6 on:** June 11, 2024, 11:03:47 AM »

For this poll, it means limbs that are pool cue straight and those for the D/R bows. I'll even include those bows that are Semi-curve, but not really recurve.

Wud, I'm pretty much figuring that you are talking about a bow where the string does not touch the belly at all.

60

I'll allow the Moosejaw Razorback that is a semi-curve and touches a tad bit more limb.

Terry Green · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2024, 11:27:31 AM »

It's your poll, but that's not a straight longbow or a longbow at all. It's pretty well-known that if the string touches the belly of the limb it is not a long bow, yet you are still calling it that.

Wudstix · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2024, 11:44:28 AM »

I know it is a semi-curve, but not by much. This is not mine but a good pic.

Well I've got a Hickory self bow that goes 72 inches tip to tip.........

Always thought I was a long......longbow guy 66-68 inches being preferred.

Lucked into a R/D 60 inch bow a no cost to me.......it's a fine shooter....shot it most of the winter and into and through turkey season.....it's a keeper.....

I like shooting English longbows so generally I make and shoot these around the 70-72” area.

katman · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2024, 05:43:46 AM »

64" hybrid, 68" asl, 2 different animals so 2 choices.

Wudstix · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2024, 11:07:44 PM »

Got my Razorback and it looks good. I might switch to 66" after shooting this bow a bit.

Kirkll · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2024, 12:36:18 PM »

Are you talking about the shape of the bow unbraced being straight? Or a D shaped long bow at brace?

Wudstix · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2024, 03:04:13 PM »

Kirk;
Just not a recurve.
