60" Zipper, it looks like an Extreme riser but isn't marked as such with Extreme limbs marked 51# @ 27" and I pull closer to 28"

My goal is to shoot 650 grain Graphlex arrows with No Mercy broadheads, or ICS 500 shafts with front loaded No Mercy's in the 650 grain range

Anywhere between 30#'s and 74#'s at 29". That probably doesn't help much.

50#'s at 28" on my longbow. I pull 29-29.5".....so a little more than 50#'s.

When I fist got it.....I thought it was too light. I don't anymore. I like it just where it is.

My Chek-Mate Hunter II is 51lbs @28" and I pull very close to 28". Then I have a 1968 Bear Kodiak Magnum that is 46lbs @ 28" that is a nice recurve for a blind and for turkeys.

Jim, I didn't know you had a bunch of widow longbows. I have been wanting to try one out before I buy one. Will you be at the Baltimore trad classic? I will be doing a bow build there at Ancestrial Knowledge table. Stop by if you get a chance.

My biggest bow is 65lbs @ 28. Its my favorite for hogs and thick skinned critters. My lightest is 35lbs which I use for fishing.
