I have made several and They all shoot very well>  I have made 68 inch and 62 inch and like the 62 best.  I also changed the riser I keep the limb pad angles but made a riser I liked better. I think they make great bows.

Is the 62" a take down?  All I have seen on Bingham's website in the take down is a 68".  I've been considering trying my hand at building a bow and I like the pronounced TD longbow design, but 68" is a little longer than I would want.

I've made them 62" and 64". I like the 62" better. I did change the riser shape from the plans and the limb pad angle to 10°. The next one I build will have a taper rate of 003 instead of the reverse taper called for with the plans.
Its a good shooting bow.
