[Ausable]

I've shot many types but currently have two morrison's(shawnee dakota and cougar), a griffin and a pronghorn. All keepers for me.

[Ray Lyon]

Hmmmmm,

Is this like going to confession??

Back in the late 70's moving forward till today:

Howard Hill Tembo(still have)
Howard Hill Big Five (86# during the 'big bow era)
Robertson Mystical
Robertson (next grade up back in mid 80,s)
Doug Hill cedar core
Talon
JD Berry
Super Shrew Samurai (going on 8 years and still my go to bow)

I've shot:
Super Shrew Limited, Super Shrew Carbon Classic, Super Shrew Chameleon and regular Super Shrew
Black Widow (LAG)
Jerry Hill
21st Century
Morrison
Great Northern
Northern Mist
American Longbow by Schultz
Thunderstick MOAB
Meigs Duoflex

There are some very good bows in there, but the Shrew Samurai fits me the best for hunting.  If I'm feeling nostalgic, the Hill Tembo and some Acme premium arrows quench my thirst nicely.

[LBR]

Martins (Stick, Twig, Vision, Savannah, and one or two more I can't remember the name of), Black Widow (old and new style), Tomahawk, Fedora, Navajo, Marriah, Morrison, Adcock, Harrison, Great Plains, Turkey Creek, Crow Creek, Hill (Jerry and Howard), Bear, Samick, PSE, Shrew, Ferguson, Holmes, Matthews, 21st Century, drew a Black Swan but didn't shoot it.......probably at least a dozen more I can't remember at the moment and a few I doubt anyone here has heard of.

Some I liked pretty well, some I wouldn't give $5 for a truck load of them if I had to use them.

My favorite, and the only one I still own and shoot (other than my selfbow) is the Chek-Mate Crusader.

Ok , I have shot just about most of these mentioned... the few bows I go back to are these: Black Widow (just something about them, Longhorn( JIm Blecher now) , Montana bows (whip by Dan toelke , Acadian Woods by Tim Mullins...I shoot from 42 pounds to about 60 #...I wish I had my ole Wilderness Lefty longbow Neil Russell made for me!!!!! 66" I miss her...Mark#78  

[snag]

I have limited experience with longbows. I did have a Wes Wallace Royal and a RER Vortex. I liked the Vortex better between the two because of lack of handshock over the Royal. Then I bought a Adcock 3 piece. Still have the Adcock!

[1/4 away]

I haven't shot near as many as some folks on here but out of those that I did own - Green Mountain, Stotler, Dwyer, Thunderhorn, Ridgerunner, Tomahawk, Stewart and Morrison Shawnee w/dakota limbs. The Shawnee was by far the best in my opinion.

[threeundr]

Well this is quite a list: Bear Montana, Martin Savannah, J.D.Berry Apollo, Harison/Fisk American Wolf, Arvin Weaver, Toelke Whip, Rivers Edge Vorex, Thunderstick X, Steve Abbott, Karch Tomahawk, Pronghorn Fast Flight, Morrison Cougar, Sam Harper, Sley, Big River, Bob Lee T/D and Stick, 21st Century Nova and Venus, East Lake, Bob Sarrell's, Mathews Heritage, Bear Comemorative Edition and some I have long since forgotten! My favorite was the J.D. Berry. It displayed the finest craftsmanship I have ever seen. It shot like a dream. It was just to heavy for me. If I find one in the 45-50# range I will buy it and never sell it. That's my opinion for what ever it's worth. Now if we get into recurves that's a whole other list. Lol!!

[Labs4me]

Literally, almost all of them. After trying various longbows at expos and trad events over a two year period, I settled on the PL by Black Widow. Fantastic bow. I shoot it as well or better than my recurves. A PLEASURE to shoot and carry in the woods.

[Shifting Shadow]

Abbotts, Adcock, Kota, Liberty, Toelke are the ones I remember. My favorite was a 64" Abbott yew longbow. Simply gorgeous, light, balanced, with moderate reflex/deflex.

[Fletcher]

Over the years I've owned and shot more than I can remember.  Favorites: deflex/reflex is a Robertson Mystical/Purist; Hybrid is a Selway/Centaur Lil Mag; and Hill style is the John Schulz Trophy Hunter closely followed by my old 1988 Dave Johnson (Bethany, OK) with cedar limbs (avatar pic).

[Steelhead]

Libertys,Griffins,morrison dakota and shawnees,Dwyers,Treadway,centuars,Cane Dragon,Fredericks,black swan classic,northern Mist.Howard Hill,shrews,Great Northern,Matlock,Stotler,Berrys,Hornes and a few more.Too many too remember.I really liked all of em in one way or another.I couldnt really pick just one.Its splitting hairs.

[Danny Rowan]

I have owned,Hill Wesley Special,Harrison HHC,Harrison Black Wolf,Leon Stewert,JD Berry,Vinson Miner Cane Dragon,Stotler Game Getter,Shrew Special Deluxe,Griffin,Cari-Bow Featherhorn,Cari-Bow Silver Fox,Black Feather,Lotz Huntin' Stick,Morrison Cougar,O.L. Adcock ACS #10,O.L. Adcock pre ACS,A&H ACS CX,O.L. Adcock ACS CX,and a few I probably forgot. Best shooter bar none for me was my old ACS, wish I still had it, a close second was the Lotz Huntin' stick that was made by Mickey's bro Randy and the Cari-Bow Featherhorn. For take downs, the Cari-Bow Silver Fox is hard to beat.
