Even

Mostly 66", but I have bows up to 72".   Current two favourites are 66" and 70".

Wudstix

I'll have a 66" soon.  Currently, two at 60" and two at 62".  Like the short hybrids for hunting.  We'll see about the longer bow.

For this poll, it means limbs that are pool cue straight and those for the D/R bows.  I'll even include those bows that are Semi-curve, but not really recurve.

Wud, I'm pretty much figuring that you are talking about a bow where the string does not touch the belly at all.

I'll allow the Moosejaw Razorback that is a semi-curve and touches a tad bit more limb.

It's your poll, but that's not a straight longbow or a longbow at all. It's pretty well-known that if the string touches the belly of the limb it is not a long bow, yet you are still calling it that.

I know it is a semi-curve, but not by much.  This is not mine but a good pic.

Well I've got a Hickory self bow that goes 72 inches tip to tip.........

Always thought I was a long......longbow guy  66-68 inches being preferred.

Lucked into a R/D 60 inch bow a no cost to me.......it's a fine shooter....shot it most of the winter and into and through turkey season.....it's a keeper.....

I like shooting English longbows so generally I make and shoot these around the 70-72" area.

Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

Got my Razorback and it looks good.  I might switch to 66" after shooting this bow a bit.

Are you talking about the shape of the bow unbraced being straight?   Or a D shaped long bow at brace?
