76" selfbow that my buddy built for himself. It broke after about 6 months.

68" longbow. Never had any problem with the length.

For hunting, a 68" Mohawk. Never noticed any issues with the longer length.

70" HH Wesley Special and Cheetah

My 66" Shelton is the longest so far. I haven't blooded it yet but have hunted with it a few times and have not felt handicapped by the length thus far.

62" which is plenty for me.

I don't really get the appeal of longer bows, at least from a practical hunting perspective, but maybe that's not what it's about.

And that Mohawk was sure pretty to look at while sitting in a tree!

70" tip to tip MR Hamilton Scorpion. She is out in the shop, delaminated. That was a good shooting son of a gun. :(

I have two 70" bows. I hunt with one 60#@28" and the other is for form work. I killed my Texas hog with it last year.

Long bow socks?

68-inch Hill. I like the 66 inchers better for a 28-9njch draw. Come to think of it , I also shot a 70-inch yew selfbow. Very smooth, but no arrow shelf. Took a little adjustment, but a nice shooter.
