Originally posted by Chromebuck: I don't mean to be Mr. Negative and will not fault any of the above suggestions,...but, Based on your desired performance, I'd suggest getting thee to a trad shop and shooting some of these bows. I was about to make a comment along the same lines...Then I saw the poster is in Singapore. Good Luck! I'm in Alaska an had to just blindly order without testing myself. It could be worst. All bows suggested in this thread are great bows. Enjoy your journey!~CB
Originally posted by Flying Dutchman: I never shot the Toelke Whip, but I own two Caribow Peregines. About the finest bows you can imagine . I would stay away from the Bodnik/Bearpaw bows, they are NO match for Cari-bows.Look at the site from Pete Ward for an extensive review of the Peregrine and the Wolverine and look for my 3-parts review here in the review dept. If you have any questions, send me a pm.
Originally posted by Bladepeek: If the Toelke whip sounds interesting, there have been some nice ones in the classifieds. Even given the overseas postage, they would be reasonable. Also, I didn't see any"D" type bows in your choices, but don't rule them out either. I've been an r/d longbow or reflex guy, but had a right-hand Mowhawk Sparrowhawk and now have a left-hand Border Griffon. Eye openers both!
Originally posted by Kirkll: You may want to check out the Flatliner series.These can be shaped individually to your grip style too.
Originally posted by Flying Dutchman: If I am informed right, Toelke bows like more heavier arrow weights. With my Peregrine I shot till 8.8 GPP without any problem. This might be important for 3D.
