[longbowben]

MOAB for me i don't think their is a smoother bow built.

Gonna have to second that, for  the MOAB !!

Of the bows i have, and have shot my 3pc acs is the smoothest draw, but my habu isnt far off...

Good luck!

Gotta go bamboo for the material. And I like Bama. Smoothest draw I have yet to experience.

My new favorite is from Brian Wessel - a Tall Tines 3pc TD.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I was completely convinced bamboo cores had the smoothest draw until i started using foam cores.
Then i built a few of these things with yew cores and have to admit that stuff makes and incredible difference.

I don't think the yew is as silky smooth as foam, but it's really close. but the sound the bow makes is completely different. for what it's worth....

Comparing one bow to the next for smoothness depends mostly on design characteristics i would say. kirk

Well - more options to consider, seems that acs is mentioned most often in this case.

Cyclic-Rivers, yes I probaply am talking about stacking too - perhaps any bow feels smooth, if it is tillered to shooters draw lenght so that the sweet spot comes when you reach your anchor ???

Thanks

Yes...order a Big River.... I will put my BR's up against any bow out there, to me, no comparison...John makes a mighty fine bow!

I'm a little surprised that there is little mention of the Mohawk bows by Vince.  A couple of years ago, I had the plesure of hanging out with "bentpole" and he was kind enough to let me shot his one of his Mohawk's.  I was sold immediately!

Vince makes one heck of a bow with bamboo cores.  I'm not bashing anyone else's bow choice, but IMHO, for the money, you can't beat a Mohawk.  

The best thing you could do, is meet up at a trad shoot and try some different ones out.  Nothing will help you more than hands on experience.

Acs with a 14" metal riser and 64" bow is the smoothest bow I have shot. they are alot of good ones out there. I like my Centaur it is smooth shooting also.

[bentpole]

Mohawk      62"'er all bamboo smooth as a babies behind. 2- 64"'ers actionboo cores. I can only imagine a 66"'er with all tonkin cane dirty boo veneers.

My 2 cents goes to Tomahawk by 3Rivers. 58" 50#@28". I have shot different longbows including BWs and I can honestly say the T-hawk is the one I'd reach for time after time    smooth, quite, fast,.. did I mention smooth,quite and fast

7 Lakes, Mike Ballenger makes a very smooth mild R/D longbow. Shawn

[guspup]

I have 2 bamboo limb R/D Longbows from a great bowyer, but my shoulder was shot... I had my shoulder operated on, and now I am back at it. It took 8 months, but it was worth it for me.

Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge...
Whippenstick!...I've shot a bunch and the only ones I consider in the same ballpark is an original OL Adcock and a LoneTree.

[slade]

The 68" ACS CX, 68" Dryridge Take down and 68" Fox Triple Crown are all very smooth with edge going to the Triple Crown, the 66" Martin Venom is not far behind.
