Bighorn 58" and Bear Mag 60"

I took a turkey with a 52" CH. I draw 27" and prefer the 54 and 56" lengths.

I talked with Ron just two days ago,And I've looked at about 50 different styles a wood and I'm already going nuts picking out wood,So I think I'm gonna give them a couple of three choices ,And let him put something together for me,And then forget about it .And then one day I will have a wonderful surprise ! I went with the 56 inch .

You should have no trouble with 56 inch bow,Any place,I have shot out of a DB With a 62 and a 60. I also use a Treewalker climber with a removable front bar ,I've never had to remove it with my longer bows .So it certainly gonna be a joy with the 56 inch.

I think it would be fun ,When my bow is ready, to drive over there and pick it up ,Wait a minute ,Wait just a minute , by that time gas should be $6.75 A gallon !!!

DeerSpotter,

You'll enjoy the 56".  I started out wanting the shortest possible bow for my draw length.

The 54" while only two inches shorter is considerably more tender and less forgiving to shoot.

While the 56" is stable, forgiving, and still shorter than most any other longbow on the market.

It's the 18 mo. that's the hard part.

And then you see guys like Phil ,I might as well just give it up , And get me a LARGER bow rack !

Sure wish I could go to Kalamazoo to shoot some. Too far and too quick right now ,This weekend

18 months was hard for a bow wait.
I put off ordering one for several years just because of the wait.

Luckily I have other bows to pass the time.  After awhile I even forgot about ordering it.  Then it was like a suprise when it showed up.

Looking back it was worth the wait.  If it was my only bow, than that would be different.

Thanks again to everyone. I'll let you know what happens in K-zoo this weekend.  This place is great; responses from Alaska to France and everywhere in between!!!  Unbelievable resource!!!
