Best 3 piece longbow??

[hawk22]

What is the best 3 piece longbow out there? Let's hear everyone's opinion.  If you have pictures, throw those in there too. thanks guys!

Well, I have an ACS CX now, and will have a Morrison Shawnee in a day or two. I would have to rate these two at or near the top of any list!

Here's my ACS

I've had a Shawnee--liked it but didn't love it.Now I have a Hummingbird Kingfisher--Like it better than the Morrison.It's smooth,quiet and fast.

I have a couple Great Plains 3 piece longbow.  They are great in my opinion and often under rated.  Solid smooth shooting bows. dino

RER gets my vote.

For a 3 piece, I really like the Fedora Xtreme.

[Orion]

 ACS-CX, Morrison Shawnee

[Mike Bolin]

Don't have one, but I have been around the Dryad 3 pc. longbows and am pretty impressed. Baseline bow is a steal as well. Mike

[Ian johnson]

I really like my dryad orion!, its my favorite longbow

[flinthead]

The best of the 3 piece longbows I have shot are Crow Creek and Hummingbirds. The Hummingbirds are the best looking of the two. My two cents . Flinthead

[BRITTMAN]

Hummingbird , RER , Crow Creek , my top 3

[Fritz]

Just have one, but I can't imagine a better shooting bow.  Pronghorn 3-piece!!!

I'm really liking the T/D Horne Brushbows. Not the fastest thing out there, but quiet as a mouse and hit where you look!

[T-Mac]

My vote is for the Orion also. Not only great looking, but smooth shooting and the personal service from Mike and Jason can't be beat. First two are mine and the third is my son shooting his.

Depends on what feels good to you.  I think the pronghorn is the most graceful looking, but the ACS and Morrison the best, albeit expensive, performers.  For hunting, most all are quite, quick and lethal...depends on what works for you.  I'm shooting a 3 piece takedown I made based off Binghams plans.  6 deer in two seasons...shoots great.

[Hornseeker]

I like the looks of that Orion!

I'll take my Sapphire... or windauer's, or a Yellowstone...sweet bows!

Lot's of gorgeous bow in this thread. I'll have to go with my Dakota Pro Hunter custom longbow. Here's a video, if you'd like a much closer look.

After spending the day at Kevin Gerlock's (Cupcake) house, I'm sold on his T/D longbow. Very fast, very quite, no stack, and shoots right where youu look. This guy is someone to watch, with his skills he will only get better. I saw Beachbowhunters bow getting glued up then mine's next.

As of right now I have four I can compare
and have had several others which "don't compare".

My all time favorite is my Shawnee with Bamboo Dakota "C" Limbs.

The next 3 are pretty well tied for second and in no preferance order as I like em all........
Firefly, Pronghorn, & Great Plains and be assured  all of these are excellent bows or I would not still have them. [Even with this terrible economic situtation when lots of bows are being sold] These 4 are all "Keepers".
