Bow recommendations for really tall guys???

<< < (2/2)

HH~:
I have made 74" Osage selfbow that would, if I did tiller out to 33". Have to remember with all that limb mass it has an effect on performance a bit. Still plenty of draw length to really get an arra moving.

What draw weight do you shoot at 33"? In fact what bow do you have that's made to shoot 33" draw?

My father shot 32-33" draw. Shot 68"-70" bow in high 40's at 28".

Gimlis Ghost:
An old thread but it falls right into line with something I was looking for information on only last night.

Many years ago there was a long range flight bow that was in favor, in England I think.
The bows had a heavy pull but short draw length. The grip of the bow was extended far past the back of the bow by means of what looked like a spade grip.

Only other time I've seen these was when several were used as props on the Star Trek Next Generation series. They were in the hands of primitive "proto Vulcanoids" a sort of Vulcan Neanderthal man only far more advanced than humans at that stage.

This type of bow must be long out of favor because I could find no information on them.
