Here is my Junxing Archery 68" recurve bow. I bought it from Amazon. They have a lot of archery stuff for traditionalist. The price was amazing, actually so's the bow! Very good shooting bow and well made. I'm shooting those custom cedar arrows made for me by Suzanne from North West Archery. Awesome stuff going on here! Thanks! G.fellow

Nice looking bow and at 68" I bet it shoots very nice.

If people start shooting these longer bows, they will find a new appreciation for them. It is reminiscent of the old target lines made by our pioneer manufacturers. Many folks back then used them for field and hunting to good extent. Enjoy.

What George said. Shooting those long recurves bring a whole new perspective to what shooting a recurve is like.
Buttery smooth with inherent accuracy that has be experienced to be understood.

I have an old Hoyt/Sky Archery bow 66 inches that I had not shot in a while. This inspired me to shoot it - as always, George is spot on. My other bows are 60 and 62 inches and feel "choppy" when I shoot them. This may become my "go to" bow.
Thanks!

what George said x2. I just "purchased back" a 1961 Howatt Palomar from a friend--I helped his wife find the bow for his birthday earlier this year, posted about it here back in March...it's a 69" beauty, 36#, made by Larry Hatfield---anyway, I had never shot it until I got it back this week...what an amazing bow...smoooooooth and quick. really accurate...thanks Larry!

After shooting shorter "hunting" bows for nearly 50 years, I rediscovered the "long" bow last year. I have found that I give up nothing with the longer bows and gain much.

Thank you for all your replies. Here's a pic of the riser. I guess its referred to as a high wrist grip, but I really like it because for whatever good reason is going on in my mind I am able to shoot this bow well, and for me that is saying alot brothers! Believe me. Thank you again, appreciate your comments! G.fellow

Looks very similar to a 23" riser Samick Polaris.
I have one. I put either a set of 30# Samick Sage limbs ( for a 66" bow), or my Samick Journey limbs-to make a 68" bow.
Samick Journey limbs are no longer made (they made the standard Samick Sage 19" riser into a 64" amo bow, pretty nice)-just available on the used market. BUT, you can by Spyder XL limbs from southwestarchery.com for ~ $75 for Journey replacements. "Regular" Spyder limbs are Samick Sage limb replacements.
I THINK the Samick Polaris 23" riser had a draw weight max of 40 lbs. The 23" Polaris riser is about $50 used. Pair it up with a set of limbs to make a 66-68" bow, and you get a lot of good shooting for not much money.
Agree with above comments-a 68" bow makes a smooth, stable arrow-shootin' platform. Enjoy your bow- looks great.

I have several 66" recurves, Howard Gamemaster and Gamemaster Jet and a Pearson Javelina. They're very smooth to draw and very stable with those super long risers. Enjoy your long recurve!
