The blue and black 48 incher, the one that this thread was started for. It's a shame I don't have any longer arrows suitable for it...as I said before this bow at 48 inch should really be shot at 30. You would see the performance rise again @ 30.

Maple. Also these bows would have slightly degraded performance as they were tillered to bend a lot in the inner limbs. This would lead to set there but also easy stringing and drawing (due to the different leverage). The species of wood isn't really important other than not using a very dense wood.
