Title: Would you rather. ...
Post by: EwokArcher on April 01, 2016, 09:56:00 AM
I have a bunch of 2 inch black Glass I got from kennym the other day that I'm ready to put to work.
I plan on making 3 bows off of the next form I put together; a 55@28 a 45@28 and a 35@25.
Using 2 inch glass.

I can build either the 58 inch or 60 inch binghams recurve form for these 3 bows, which would you choose?

Why would you choose the 60? I appreciate the feedback guys.

A longer bow draws smoother, shoots more accurate, and is quieter. Also would handle the 28" draw better than the 58" bow.

And quite frankly you won't even notice the 2" difference since its 1" on each end. Go for the 60"
