I have a Sky Trophy Hunter longbow 66" 42#@28 (I draw 29", so 45# off the fingers). Built by Jim Belcher on Earl Hoyt's original frames. Excellent shooter, and a very high-value bow ( but not made anymore).

I had an Al Kimery-built d/r 66" longbow ( "Trad-AL" Oregon). Great shooting bow, but I just didn't shoot it much. Sold it to a 24hrcampfire member several years ago. A lot of bow for the money.

7Lakes makes an excellent longbow, of various lengths, and degree of reflex/deflex. The "Long Night" or "NAH" ( "North American Hardwood", a no-frills solid bow ). might meet your needs.

The Bodnik Dakota is a nice long bow (66"). Incredible 30 year warranty.

Many choices. Personal preferences play a big role. What length are you considering?
