Great bowAs an amateur, I can say that this bow is easy to use. It lines up nicely, and at 55# it is good to use while warming up and at full draw. Falls very well to hand and is shaped nicely to grip with your lead hand.

Great BowI'm new to traditional bows so I did a lot of research, this bow is great. I have shot a compound for years and for me this is a lot more fun. I plan on getting some arrows better suited for a longbow than what I have now. Hope to be good enough with it by deer season to hunt with it, I think I will be. Can't wait for deer season.

Great BowThis bow is an excellent example of the traditionalistic bowhunting dream machine. I shoot it in a 60lbs draw and I've sent pass throughs from everything that I've hunted with it. For those that want to get away from training wheels and back into instinctive shooting this is a great way to go. It's super lightweight and as accurate as you're willing to practice to get.

Take anywhere bowGot this for my birthday. Love it. One of the best long bows that I have ever shot.
I see a lot of other long bows that are 68 inches long is there a difference between 64 & 68 length (other than 4 inches :D) ?

What arrows do you suggest?
I bought the 55lbs bow and I have a draw of 27 to 28 inches was wondering what the all time best arrows for the money is and what grain of broad heads would be best for that arrow and bow?

What arrows would be the best for the 45 lbs?
I'm very very new to archery, and by the comments and reviews I've seen, this is the best for me to get. What arrows will be the best for this bow? Preferably from Bass Pro Shops.
Asked by: cocothearcher
It really depends on what you will be using the bow for. Strictly target or will you want to hunt some also? I own this particular bow in #50. If you were going to just target shoot, and your draw length is 28 inches, I would shoot 100grain tip with an arrow spined at #55-60...32" arrow. If you are wanting to use it for hunting I would get 150-250 grain tip and a heavier spined arrow.

draw length?
I am interested in this bow in a 45lbs draw, but my draw lenght is 30 inches, so does that just mean it will be a pound or two heavier, or would i need to find a bow in a 30" draw.
Asked by: Swordofzorro
Thank you for your inquiry. This long bow has a draw length of 28" on all of its draw weights.

Does this bow require any 'care' other than waxing the string? In terms of the wood, does it need an applied protective coating or anything like that?
Asked by: Eric91
No but a little car wax every once in awhile won't hurt anything.

If my compound bow is set at a 55 lb. draw with a 28 in. draw length how heavy of a draw should i get for this bow?
Asked by: Mike101
While I agree that the minimum responsible poundage when hunting with a longbow is 45-50 pounds, you need to keep this rule of thumb in mind. When going from a compound to traditional equipment, take the compound draw weight and subtract 20 lbs. The reasons for this are: 1. Most compound shooters shoot a bow that is too heavy anyway...just watch someone point the bow almost straight up while they draw to understand that. 2. The longbow has no let-off so you will be holding the full poundage at full draw. Most people new to traditional archery will pick a bow that is too heavy and get discouraged when their grouping is erratic and loose. Go lighter than you think you need to go. You will understand why after about 20 shots or so. Draw weight with traditional equipment is not about bragging rights or toughness. It is the absolute factor in getting consistant, ethical shots on target.
