Talk to elk ninja. He builds a beautiful bow and fast turnover as well. Not only that, but he's an all-around good egg.

You can't go wrong getting a Turkey Creek Longbow. Check you their web site. They are a sponser here too. I have one thats 62" 45#@28". She is very smooth, very fast and no hand shock.

I must agree with scott. I shoot and hunt year round with my Internature Viper and it is a great bow. It is forgiving of beginner mistakes and has minimal hand shock. I shoot mine in 55# and hunt everything from squirrels to deer with it and it performs beautifully. Not to mention its easier on the wallet that some bows. I recommend it!

contact John at Sipsey River Traditional Archery (a sponser here). He keeps a good stock of bows PLUS' he offers a new R/D longbow custom made for a VERY reasonable price. I've been shooting one for a few days now and just love it.
