October Mountain Ozark Hunter Longbow 68 In. 40 Lbs. Rh

The October Mountain Ozark Hunter Longbow 68 In. 40 Lbs. Rh is purpose-built for traditional bowhunters and 3D competition archers seeking a reliable, lightweight recurve platform. At 2.6 pounds, this 68-inch right-hand longbow delivers the balance of speed and forgiveness that matters in the field—whether you're stalking whitetail at 20 yards or testing accuracy at unmarked distances. October Mountain has engineered this model to appeal to hunters transitioning from compound bows and experienced recurve shooters alike, offering genuine performance without unnecessary complexity.

With a 40-pound draw weight, the Ozark Hunter strikes a practical middle ground for deer-sized game and target work, generating sufficient velocity for clean, ethical kills while remaining manageable across extended practice sessions. The 68-inch length provides a forgiving draw arc and excellent stability at full draw, critical factors that reduce torque-induced shooter error—a frequent challenge in traditional archery. The right-hand configuration accommodates the majority of hunters, and the longbow's modest weight allows extended hunts without shoulder fatigue, even during September rut season or late-season November sits when every ounce matters.

Bowhunters upgrading from heavier compound systems will appreciate the Ozark Hunter's responsiveness and the meditative, direct feedback traditional longbows provide. The 40-pound draw is ideal for beginners and seasoned recurve shooters pairing it with 500-grain hunting arrows and broadheads matched to game weight and distance. This longbow integrates seamlessly with standard bow rests, quivers, and sights, and its draw weight sits well within effective hunting ranges for North American deer and similar-sized game at ethical yardages typical of spot-and-stalk or stand hunting.
