Hi,
Im looking to buy my first new longbow, and im looking for some economical options. Ive been scouring the classifieds, but im looking for more like the Omega line of bows.
$235 for the complete. Are there any more bows of this quality in this price range that im missing?
Thanks

Stik bows by don dow are high quality and run around 289 new with black glass. I would seriously look at them.

Sorry, can't help you with your question but did want to comment on your handle. I wonder how many people even recognize the name DB Cooper? One of those mysteries that will likely never be discovered.

Definitely look at Don Dow. The little extra is very much worth it. IMO, pound for pound the best bow for the money.

X3 on Don Dow. I have a 54" and it is a quick, quiet little bow. You will not be disapointed.

So where is all the money Mr. Cooper?????

I would go with Kegans Omega myself if your in the market for a hybrid. Very radical limbs, but super bow, but it def does not have a longbow look

Don Dow is one of the best I have shot no matter what the price range.

Mike at Mad Dog makes some amazing bows. The other bow I would look at would be a Bear Montana Longbow. For around $300 it is a great performer and is pretty easy on the eyes as well.

There ain't no flies on a Mad Dog.
Had a Dow, and you can't go wrong there either.
