68" Bow River longbow by Rick Lepp. You don't seem to run into too many longer than that anymore.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

70" for my Hills. I have three like that, with a fourth on the way. Coming from a 64" Black Widow PL background, I was a little worried about how long a 70" Hill would be. No need to worry, it isn't much of a difference, but it makes a world of difference in how well I can shoot the Hills.

70" Hill Big Five has been my longest.

68 in. Just for 3D, not hunting,66 in for hunting. Although I don't feel a 68 in hunting bow would be a handicap. We humans are quite adaptable.
God Bless
