Good stuff here. I have owned several high end custom longbows....a few Kota's, a Centaur. I even killed a few deer with them. I didn't shoot them terribly well. Started shooting recurves, and found I shoot them a little better. I also found I like the vintage stuff. Been shooting a '70 ish Besr Grizzly, 45# @ 28", and just picked up a '69 Browning Cobra, 52# @ 28....50" amo bow, short little sucker. I also have a Whisper Stik Mojo Stik that is 54# @28", which, sadly delaminated on me....I'm in the process of trying to repair it. Fingers crossed.
