Some how you have listed the only  3 bows on my list to shoot/ own someday. I have researched the 3 and here is what I learned.  The half breed is probably the mildest R/D limb profile of the three.  The pronghorn has been around the longest and is a staple amongst 3pc. shooters.  Most say the pronghorn is very quiet and very stable/forgiving.   The Black canyon is a next level pronghorn maybe a little more attention  to detail, maybe better arrow cast.   If I am wrong ,someone let me know. I like the narrow riser and milder limb profiles  of these bows you mentioned.

I have a Pronghorn I got from somebody off the classifieds,and he said he likes the Halfbreed better. That's saying something because I like the Pronghorn quite a bit.

I had all of those bows. Still have the pronghorn and the black canyon. Only reason I sold the half breed is she was a little heavy for me and wasn't getting the attention she deserved. All comparable and good bows. That being said, for me the black canyon by a good margin is my favorite. Love the grip, the look and smooooth…..just feels right , fits me.

I never had the Halfbreed but I had several Yellowstone longbows and they were great bows. I don’t think you can go wrong.

I have a Yellowstone Hunter and love it, I also have a Halfbreed on order. I to researched the 3 and since I had a Yellowstone and knew how it is second to none in finish and design I went with it. Look at Rich’s Facebook page he has better pictures.

So you ask a very hard question here. To decide between those three you have a real task on your hands. I have a fair amount of experience with all of them.

Here is what i can tell you. The pronghorn is my go to. It is quiet stable and quick. Though Herb is not all about flare he knows what he is doing.

Rich is a stable in the bow making industry and the half-breed should be his flagship. That is his best performing model and it is great in the hand. 

The black canyon bows are beautifully crafted and great performance as well.

Of the three there is no wrong choice.
