Suggestions on 3 Pc. Longbows
« on: April 23, 2010, 08:27:00 PM »
What are some good 3 pc. longbows, fellas?  I've got a hankering to try one.  I like the riser to be cut to center.  Good mass weight, performance is always nice, and looks don't hurt...  What would you suggest?  Oh yeah, it needs to be at least 64' longs... I just prefer that length... Feels good and stable...  Thanks...
Blessings,
Steve

Elmer Patton, Crow Creek Bows, makes the Black Feather.  I don't think you can go wrong there.  Excellent bows!

I'm really, really liking my Vermilion River "Snake". I've only shot about 200 arrows through it but it has impressed me immensely. While not a "screamer", it has adequate speed, a smooth draw, and is quieter than any other bow I have shot.

As you can see, it has the visual appeal covered!

Just picked up a Kohannah Elite 3 pc 66" longbow. They also come in 64". I traded for this bow and it is a beaut. 50# @ 28" and it is the fastest 50# bow I ever shot. No hand shock, boo cores, and even new the price is not bad. Check out Kohannah's web site. I had heard good things about them and they were right, excellent bows!!!!! I was wanting to try a 3 pc longbow and I found a good one.....   :thumbsup:

I'll second the combo hunter. Mine is 64" and fast, quiet and a good weight to it.

I came from nothing and I brought it with me.

My current fav is the ACS CX-but my Schafer 3 pc arrives in July-who knows which will have won my heart by August?
I recommend getting demo bows and shooting as many as you can. Many bowyers will send you one if you ask.

Well if you contact the boys at ACS I have had one in the works for about 3 months.

its a 56" 12" riser - Just asked them if I could get my money back less my downpayment.

Should be a sweet bow....just going to stick with my new PCH that is on it's way now.

This is s NEW DESIGN LONGBOW and it should be everything it's HYPED up to be....just been waiting for so long and I won't be here when it;s delivered.

So rather than have it sitting here I thought the could sell it to someone that could put her through it's paces.

I will be on the road soon on my road trip (2 weeks) and I will just bring the PCH with me.

Phone 'em up..Jer
