Hi Lewis,
I don't have the bow that you are looking for, but I got Mike to build me a 60" Mountaineer, 43# @ 28" (yep, I'm grtting older).
It is the best shooting longbow I have ever owned and is really quiet and dead in the hand. Not sure about speed, but it is definately faster than my 45# Browning recurve and penetrates deeper into foam block.
Let me know if you would like to see and shoot it just to to get an idea of his workmanship and the feel for his bows. Let me know when & if you can stop by sometime and I will be here. Or we can meet at the usual gas station and you can borrow the bow for a week or two.
Chuck
PS: Oh yeah, The Mountaineer is also made in shorter lengths.
