Jason...I am a die hard Black Widow recurve hunter. I wanted to have a long bow so I bought several, shot them and sold them all but the Stewart Slammer. Then I came across Don Dow stick bows and bought one of his. It is amazing and even more amazing is the price. I thought I was reading it wrong but I wasn't. Check out his website and give him a call. Tell him "Whitie" told you to call. He is great and you won't be sorry...I promise!!! "Whitie" ps..If you are interested in my Stewart Slammer, let me know...I am selling it.

Take a look at bigfoot bows... put a www in front of that. there is also a good write up on here by Ernie Mckenzie (maker of Sapphire) about the bows Kirk is making. I have a Sasquatch Longbow and recurve... just ordered a Splinter Kat from Kirk also...

Just got my Toelke lynx three piece. Quiet, great grip, smooth draw. I love it so far. I also have several BW Pl's. However, the more bows I shoot, the more I realize there are many good longbows makers.

Northern Mist Superior. Slight R/D has D shape when strung. Loves heavy arrows and is easy on the eyes.

I was a recurve guy for for most of my life and over the past few years I tried many longbows, in an attempt to make the switch. Coming from recurves I was disappointed in performance of many, but I'm pretty happy with the one's I have now, and have on order Thunderstick MOAB, ACS, and Centuars All shoot as good as my recurves.

I'm partial to Dwyers. Sooooo many good ones to chose from. My Firefly is still my "gold standard" for smoothness, quiet and speed, but currently I prefer the looks of a one peice.

i have 2 right now, the 66" hybrid at the top of my sig and the 56" beeler. that 66" hybrid really throws a arrow fast and accurate. think my arrows are around 560 gr and it still throws them pretty flat at 25 yds. for $300 it was worth every penny.
the beelers are nice as well. great grip and i like hte size for the thick woods. feels alot lighter in DW then its labeled though and deffinatly not as fast as the above mentioned bow. its my small gamer
thiers alot of nice builders out thier. here bigjim makes some of the best and he is a great guy to talk and deal with no doubt. just have a talk with him and he can probably put you in the right direction

Another vote for Cari-Bow. I shoot the Peregrine and it is the best r/d longbow I ever shot. Abe Penner is also sponsor here.
I wrote a review of three parts: the looks, the shooting and shooting at large distances. Here you can find part I, be sure to read the other parts too!
Also Pete Ward wrote a nice review about the Peregrine!

You guy's have been a big help. Thier are so many nice bow's out there, the decision is gonna be hard. I hope to have it half way narrowed down by Cloverdale. If I don't do any good there, then it's on to Compton. Wish me luck
