I'm a hunter and prefer a 60 to 62" bow. I seem to shoot them the best. Any longer I tend to have trouble hitting the bottom of my tree l stand. My draw is 25 to 26" all depending on the type of bow

most of my pesonal bows are 60"-64" ntn, plenty short for me to hunt with, but i'm with JW, a 70" bow you can shoot all day and hit most everything, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

My draw is 25"to26" and I am a short feller. Don't climb trees anymore but do a lot of
woods busting. I really like 60 "to 62" bows but shoot best around 64". My bows are
straight limbed.

I enjoy shooting the ELBs but in recent years have become comfortable shooting 64" american longbows in the backyard. When I go tromping through the woods I prefer to carry something 60" or less--partially because the shorter bows are easier to manipulate in the woods, but also because It 'feels' more authentically primitive.

I like a 60-62" bow and shoot it well. Longer is cumbersom, short is unforgiving. I pull 27.5-28" depends on the day.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
