Longbow Purchase

I'm thinking of buying a longbow. I've been talking to a bower and he said that with my draw length I'd need a 75" bow. Any Ideas who I could buy from?

Pip Bickerstaffe will make what you want I use one of his and it's a beautiful bow
http://www.bickerstaffebows.co.uk/ (tell him that Daniel from Purbrook Bowmen sent you if you go to him)
Also Richard Head is pretty good as well
