i have been trying many different bows and the one i would really like to find is a 3pc longbow. thinking schafer, talltines, or ???
most 3pc longbows are just to light for me. i like the Habu vyperkahn but dont think any 45# bows are out there. i want some thing with heavy riser like the schafer.
i like my recurves for weight, but wish they were quiet - they are just too loud.
any thoughts or recommendations?

Depends on what you like. You can get an ILF with aluminum or phenolic riser in many lengths that will have a great deal of mass to them. I believe the acs aluminum risers have a decent amount of heft to them as well.

Bob Lee's have a heavy riser. But I disagree that you "cannot" quiet a recurve. I have recurves that make a quiet thump just as a longbow does. Good luck in your search..Henry

Toelke lynx. He uses heavy woods and phenolic in the riser, quick and quiet.

A good option is to use brass antler knobs. I have a set if you'd like to try them. They'll increase the overall mass weight real quick and look great. I know Dave and Beth have them in stock. You want the smaller one if you'll be putting them on a longbow.

tim - i put some on the ACS but still really light compared to a schafer riser. just thinking some one must make quiet longbow limbs for a heavy schafer style riser.

I had the same thoughts and ended up putting together a 62" 45lb @28" A&H ACS CX with an actionwood 14" RC riser. Then I put a 4 arrow Eagleflights bow quiver with angle bracket and 3 arrows in it for a little more weight. It shoots great and is dead quiet.

A 64" silvertip recurve and a quiver full of arrows is a heavy bow. The only other similar setup in a longbow version might be a Bear Paw by Neil Jacobson, another Montana guy only a few miles from Dave.

I just finished one up with a phenolic riser. ITs my heaviest mass weight bow. and yes, dead quiet.

Jim Gainey @Black Creek Bows will make you an all phenolic riser TD Siren. I shot one today with a "mostly" phenolic riser, and the weight was noticable. As with all Jims bows it was also very quiet.
