 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  I am 72" tall. The second bow I ever made was 75". It came in at about 35#@28". This was before I had a scale and I didn't yet know How to judge the weight by feel. Since then, I've chopped it down to 68" and it draws 46#@28". Right now I'm working on a Maple board bow that is 72" long, but that is only because it is a narrow board, and it doesn't have the greatest grain orientation.

The first bow I ever made was 65" ntn. Most since have been from 56"-62". I shoot something around 62" best. I think that's a good compromise, not too short for a 27" draw, yet not so long that it's cumbersome.

I'm 72( Math) inches long and my bows always end up stuck at 68" I guess I'm obsessed with the number 68.
