bow length

(1/10) > >>

jayman448:
hey guys. i haven't pestered you with a question in a long time so i figure its time i throw one at you. i am starting to wonder about a longer bow. currently im shooting a 58 inch bow and was wondering if there is any truth to the notion that a longer bow is easier to shoot. more forgiving or whatever the case may be. if so im thinking of trying out a bow thats maybe 64-66 inches long and seeing how that goes regarding accuracy

loon:
I wonder if it makes sense to practice mostly with a shorter bow or not.. and practice less and hunt with a longer one?
there's a pretty big consensus that longer is more forgiving...

PEARL DRUMS:
Bow length is relative to draw length. I draw 28" plus and a "long" bow for me is 68". How far do you draw? 

Pat B:
A longer bow is more stable than a shorter one. IMO, that would make it easier to shoot accurately.
 I would suggest that you practice with the bow you plan to hunt with.

Pappy:
I prefer a 62/64 at my 26 inch draw, I don't shoot shorter as consistent for some reason. :-\ Some folks do, just not me. :)
