I have a two piece takedown and a couple of one piece Schafer longbows. I rate their craftsmanship, feel, stability, balance, and smoothness as top of the line. They are not as fast as some longbows but that is a trade off often made for acceptable feel and smoothness. Don't get me wrong these bows are not slow, I chronographed my 64" two piece and it was putting 11 grain per pound arrows out at 178-183 fps.
A side note: I have owned a lot of custom bows over the years and most of them were nice (some nicer than others). When I started making my own glass bows there were two R/D longbows I really liked, the Tolke Whip and Schafer, I created my bows using those two as a pattern and blended what I felt were the best attributes from both of them.
