There are many good longbows out there. You have a dilema. Robertson, Great Northern, Morrison, Centaur, Wolverine to name a few. Personally, I am currently shooting Morrison long bows for my heavy "on the ground" bows and a Centaur for my lighter tree stand bow. Both are fabulous shooting bows with ZERO hand shock.
Bob Morrison and Jim Neeves fall into that rare catagory of truly NICE people. Dealing with them is a real pleasure.
Having said all that, I would still check with Dick Robertson and the boys at Great Northern, since they make great bows and happen to be nice guys, too.
Cheerio from New Zealand!
