Hornes Take Down Brush bow

[ranger 3]

Does anyone shoot one and how do they shoot. Fast, quiet, stable, smooth?

Ranger 3,I have a one piece Hornes brushbow..49#@28"..it has all the qualities that you asked about...I'm shooting 50-55 spined cedars...Mike

[ranger 3]

Thanks Mike anybody else?

I also have a 1 piece 53@29.  It's a very nice bow.  I'd say it's fairly fast (I think TBM did a review on it a while ago).  Nice and quiet.  I really like the grip.

It's also first at bat this year.  "Stabitha" will be hunting on Sat.

I have a 60 inch three piece and a 62 inch one piece.  Both shoot great and they are my primary and back-up this season.  The other bows are getting jealous.  They are both 51 pounds at my 30 inch draw and shoot 65-70 cedars, 2018s and CX 150s all very well. I agree with Mike - they have it all.  Additionally, the customer service is great.

I just traded for a three piece Osage and Bubinga and the limbs are double bamboo 45@27 60"
can't wait to get it.

I've got a one piece and a 3 piece Brushbow. Both awesome! The three piece comes in a kit if you like. You can save some cash and finish it yourself. Great bows!!! CK

I just recieved mine just over 2wks. ago and was hunting elk and deer with it 3 days after getting it in the mail.

It is fast and quiet. No string silencers here.

I am keeping it right at 7 5/8 on the brace height. I plan to sell my Blacktail and my Black widow and purchase another T/D Brushbow for my back up.

They are smooth, quiet, and fast.

I shot several of Mark's bows at the May Texas Sweat and couldn't get them off of my mind, so I ended up ordering one a few weeks after returning from the Sweat. As I sent payments to Mark every week, I kept asking myself what I was doing ordering another bow, but as soon as I shot it, I remembered why I forked out the money when I have too many bows already.

My friend Micah and his friend Jason both shot it and think it is not only a work of art, but an awesome shooting bow.

Mine is 51 at 28 and has a Bocote/Cocobola riser and Bocote limbs.

I don't think you can go wrong with a T/D brushbow.

Good luck,

Paul

Had 2 one piece Brushbows.      My favorite is Mark's Traditionalist. Without a doubt the most forgiving Longbow I ever shot.     All  Marks bows are shooters quick, quiet, dead in the hand.

Paul can you post pics of it please?

I have a Combo Longbow witthe Brushbow grip, essentially making it a T/D brushbow. Osage & Bocote, 62" & 63#@30"

By far the prettiest & highest build quality bow I own. Had it since '07 & wouldn't part with it for anything.

My only niggle is the grip is very small & I've got fat hands, but once I get settled in, it's a true tack-driver. Smooth, properly quiet, fast & stable. Oh, did I mention that it's DROP DEAD GEORGEOUS?  :D

Here is one I'm trading for, I should have it Monday, it is a Horne 3-piece brush bow with double bamboo limbs with an Osage Bubinga riser 60"45@27

I have the combo hunter longbow and recurve limbs... sad to say I will never need another bow. But if i do decide to get one it will be another Hornes. Probably a brushbow, unless I can talk him into making a short bow for me
