3 piece longbow, small riser, reasonable price. Let's see some pictures.

I hear you on the warning...but I'm talking about re-shaping the grip.  I refuse to sell any of my bows that I have worked on for liability reasons.

Yeah, I'd never try removing wood from the sight window area or the grip throat area.  I doubt I'd even try it at all because I'd rather just get one that's already like I want it.  But if I came across one for a good price that already needed a refinish job, it might be an option.

Pronghorn, Kota Prairie Nomad, and  the Tall Tines, Tundra or Stickflinger. I prefer the 2 latter. The TT is an amazing bow, and you know it the first shot you take.  Good Luck to you in your search.

Horne t/d Brushbow. Wait for one in the classifieds.

Kotas  are fine bows!

I'm curious as to why you prefer a 3 piece take down longbow to a 2 piece?

I guess part of it depends on the length of the longbows you shoot - but a 2 piece 66" longbow would fit in most of my arrow cases and a 68" would fit in two of my arrow cases.

Just wondering the reasons, advantages/disadvantages, etc.  because I'm in the process of ordering a 2 piece longbow.

A 3 piece can be taken down smaller than a 2 part . My three piece goes inside my Viking Voyager arrow tube surrounded by a dozen arrows my strap on two part quiver and my glove go on top I can then zip it up and put it in my duffel bag with my clothes. A two piece is to long for that . And I think most 3 piece bows shoot better.

A Pronghorn 3pc longbow is a wonderful shooting bow. They are slim, quick and deadly quiet. Herb Meland is a cool guy to do business with. Use the search function for Pronghorn longbows or Herb Meland. I can text or email pictures of mine if that will help. You will not be disappointed with a Pronghorn longbow.

From your opening sentence I was going to recommend the Kota. I love my Killum. His 3 pc. Looks great. I have a nice tall tines stickflinger, but the riser is not slim like you described. Tim from Kota is on trad gang often,maybe he might be able to answer any questions.

For functionality, I'd like the two piece just as much.  I like the looks of a three piece, but not the weight and feel that typically comes with it.  I also already have several one piece recurves and a one piece longbow and I'd like to have a three piece just to have something different.

Pronghorns are very light and slim for 3 piece bows. I got the chance to shoot a few at rmsgear and they are top notch bows imo

Thanks Matt and Tim, much appreciated.

The Morrison Archery Shawnee is streamlined and not heavy.The riser comes in sizes A,B and C.A being the shortest.He will do many grips as well.He will customize a grip.

If he'still building it.It comes with Dakota longbow limbs and recurve as well.

Check out Yellowstone Bows.  I have their Halfbreed model.  Awesome bow!.  Looks alot like the Pronghorn and Prairie Nomad.  I also owned a Prairie Nomad for several years.  Probably should have kept it.  The Yellowstone Halfbreed is super quiet even without silencers.

Striker bows are very light .
