When you measure the length of a longbow, is it from nock-to-nock across the belly or across the back of the bow?
Also, I've always wondered what the definitive answer is to this question: Exactly where on the nock do you measure? Top edge, bottom edge, middle?
I probably should know this, but I'm not sure that what I know is actually correct.

Nock to nock across the back for all bows. I measure from the shoulder of the nock (where the string loop goes) because it's easy to hold the measuring tape there....and Harold Groves told me to measure bows that way.

The AMO standard is: Nock to nock along the belly side of the limbs, and "across" the handle.

Rick is correct, I was reading and responding too quickly. I do measure straight end longbows on the back though.

Regardless of AMO, I measure everything along the back.
I find it difficult to measure along the belly and feel like differences in riser design can be misleading.

Andy, the bow I'm measuring (60") would make you almost 4" too tall! Lol.

Yes Sir nock to nock following the curves of the belly but straight across the handle. Who knows how the bowyer may have measured though. >>>---> Ken
