Best Recurve and Longbow
« on: June 27, 2018, 06:51:51 AM »
Hi All,

I have been off the radar for a few years or so...

I'm just wondering what's the best recurves and longbows going around these days...?

Probably the one that the grip suits you best. Shoot many before you buy if you can. Some will call out to you....  :)

Same as above, but I would add all the sponsors here would be a good bet I think.

Define best?  Fastest?  Smoothest?  Least hand shock?  Best grip?

Your preferences might net you better recommendations. Do you like metal or wood? One piece or takedown? Do you use accessories or shoot barebow?

For example I like tuneablity, shoot with sights, and like easily replaceable parts. As such the Hoyt Satori or the Morrison ilf would be a consideration for a new bow.

Hi all,

Ok... I’ll put it this way...

If you could have any Revcure or Longbow regardless of price... what would you choose...?

Well if you put it that way...Without question for me on the recurve Black Widow PCH. Longbows, I have 3 that I love and don't know that I could pick just one.

The best bow is the one that you shoot well, handle with ease(not over-weighted) and the one that you know is the right one.

As said above, the one that feels best you and that you shoot accurately.  Personally for me it is my Black Widow PCH for a recurve, and all 5 of my Northern Mist longbows, (with a sixth on the way :archer:)  Good luck with your choice, shoot as many as you can get your hands on.

Well, there is really no such thing as "The" best--lots of "bests" depending on who you ask. :saywhat:

I'm thinking this guy is looking for the fastest and highest tech in trad bows. In that case check out A&H ACS longbows, Border Hex recurves, and Dryad ACS RCs. These are likely to be the highest performing bows of their kind.

Thanks guys,

It seems like the not much has changed in the last few years or so... the same name brands seem to be at the top of the list still...

Has anyone got some new bowyers that are making a name for themselves...?

Mate,
For me the Widow and Whip longbows do everything so well as all round hunting bows I don’t look any further ... and quick build times and amazing  customer service ...


For recurves ... and TradTech Titan for ILF.
