I have always been primarily a Hill style bow fanatic, the problem I have with Robertson longbows is that they are faster at my draw than a Bear takedown and as forgiving for me as my Schulz longbows and pound per pound perhaps even quicker. Makes it difficult to want to shoot anything else. You can pick the basic riser with a heavier wood and get the feel of the more expensive models, 64" will cover most peoples draw, although for my draw 26.4" right hand and 26" left hand the 62" bows are my favorites.
