Opinions on Thunderhorn 3 piece
« on: April 09, 2010, 09:36:00 PM »
I've got the longbow itch lately and was wondering what those of you that own or have shot the 3 piece thunderhorn thought of it as far as stability, quietness and speed, etc. Thanks.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Very stable, quiet and quick.  One of my brothers has 2 and his wife has 2.  I have a 2 pc. heartstopper.  Love it.  
Duane builds a great bow.

I prefer the one piece because I am a longbow guy. The three piece has a little more of a recurve feel. That being said. I have owned over 25 custom bows and Duane ranks right at the top for performance and craftsmanship.   BILL

I live about 15 miles from Duane's shop and have owned several of his Heartstoppers. All 1 piece or 2-piece though. I have shot the 3-piece on a few occasions when I've stopped in. I have never owned or seen a Thunderhorn that wasn't a work of art. Duane has an incredible eye for detail and all of his bows shoot very well. He had his own 3-piece for a long time testing and tweeking it before putting them on the market for the rest of us.

If I was in the market for a quality, well-built, easy to shoot 3-piece longbow, I would not hesitate. I think you would love it.
You don't see very many for sale used, so those that buy them must hang on to them.

P.S. I am in no way paid or endorsed by Duane, just like his bows  (though I don't own one at this time).
