I was just looking it over and discovered that actually it is marked as being 69". I don't know how I missed it.

I'd love to Arvin, but if I did I might be paying for a cow.  :o I only have about 175 yards to work with. I'll find a way to try it for distance one of these days, but I can't do it at home.

Today,  sleek is stopping by my house for a while.  It will be a hot day for messing with bows but I'm sure we will.
I plan on getting some good pictures of my trade bow I received from Paul.  I haven't had any time to shoot it since I've been home so it will be nice to fling a few arrows from it.

No AC,  just plenty of sweat and power aid.

Well here is the sweet American long bow that Paul gave me at mojam.
54@28 about 70 inches long. (I didn't measure it)

Here are the other gifts that came with it! A custom shoot off the hand glove and 3 beautiful ash arrows!















I also received a beautiful ERC stave that I don't have pictures of.  Thank you so much Paul!  :laugh:
