Here I was thinking anything shorter than 64" was short.....

Let's not forget how important it is to have a well matched arrow. (should go without saying right?)

Now if you REALLY want to improve accuracy cut in a shelf and make it center shot.  ::)

My brother is still trying to figure out why I was shooting so well the other day... >:D.

Not telling him....not until I can out shoot him by a mile.  :laugh:

The term  "humblebrag"  is neither name-calling nor integrity questioning.

You guys are cracking me up.
I find that limb length doesn't matter as much as the skill of the archer ;)

a nice, 60" bendy-handle longbow is freaking accurate. Really freaking accurate.
Like 6" groups at 40 yards from a kid that doesn't practice much unless he's off school.
Also, draw weight plays a huge factor... and short bows stack more, weigh less(less mass=less inertia=less resistance to torque).... and also arrows make a big huge diff.
I can plop carbons into a target easily with a black locust stickbow, nearly completly untillered.
if I shoot arrows weighing b/t 300 grains and 800 grains, even with a modern centershot recurve, I cannot even hit once unless luck.

I think blackhawk's point (and I'm just guessing here) is: ALL else being equal (archer's skill, matched arrows, nock point, draw weight, tiller, blah, blah, blah) longer bows are more accurate and easier to shoot well than shorter bows. I agree.
