who all hunts with a 70 inch bow

[primitivealltheway]

Was wondering. I'm shooting 66" and was wondering if the 4 extra inches would make a big difference.

I have hunted this season with a couple of 66" bows, just started shooting a 68" bow and have a 70" bow on order. From what I can see so far not much difference. If using a commercial blind you would need to make sure it is big enough to accomodate but in a stand I don't see it making a big difference, just check for clearance around the stand and you should have no issues.

Good luck!

Thanks Steve.I normally hunt from the ground but this past Saturday I was in a climber and really enjoyed the view around me seen 3 deer that I know I wouldn't have seen in my blind.so I'm gonna start hunting more from a good stand.

My favorite bows are 70" except the 68" Schulz. Agreed a short commercial blind can be a problem. Like natural ground blinds better anyway as I can build any height & openings. Never a concern stillhunting or from trees or treestands.

No problems from trees here. I get into the nastiest ones I can find too.
I did have a problem hunting the Newfoundland tundra for caribou though. It was just high enough to mess with myt lower tip a bit, but I managed.

I cant my bows quite a bit so the length has never been an issue.  I like the longer length as it seems to make the draw smoother.  I have 2 at 70" and 2 at 68".  They all shoot well.

I see great minds think alike! I use and enjoy two 66" Hills and they work just fine at my draw length, but I have resolved that my next Hill will be 70" because...well, just because...!?

I am currently hunting with a 69" Hill tembo from stands. No problem what-so-ever.

Forgot to mention, I shoot recurves. I wish I could shoot longbows like you guys.

My two favorite bows are 70" yew longbows. I hunt from the ground with no trouble. Do I feel a difference in draw and shooting? Yes I do. Maybe it is just me, but 70" for me is just nice and smooth.

Jerry,

Good photo showing your bow and the nice looking place you bowhunt.
