2 or 3 piece?  Longbow or recurve type grip?  Heavy or light (mass weight)?

I'm partial the the Chek-Mate Crusader (2-piece)--I like a longbow that still feels like a longbow (grip and mass weight).  Not knocking others, that's just my preferance.  Roy Hall's Navajo is one of the best heavy, 3-piece take-down longbows I've shot.  Lots of bowyers offer a 3-piece and/or 2 piece model.  Lots of great bows out there, just depends on your preferances.

Not sure what part of TN Parsons is in, but if it's anywhere near Herb Parson's Lake (just outside Collierville) there's a shoot (Lost Tribe) there on the 21st of this month.  My bow is a one-piece, but you are welcome to try it out--the td version is very similar in feel, just a little heavier in mass weight due to the td hardware.
