I think it would be hard to beat a Crow Creek Blackfeather. They are quick, quiet and have almost zero hand shock. They are nice to look at also.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Bob Morrison's Shawnee/Dakota or his Cheyenne with Dakota LB limbs.  They don't come prettier than Bob's bows. His bow's performance has always been right at the top of almost everyone's [ those familiar with them ] performance list.

In my collection several 3 pc LB's have come and gone.... that is until I got my first Morrison 3 piece.  :thumbsup:    :clapper:  They are going nowhere in the forseable future.  :jumper:    :archer2:

Check out our new EPIC ILF riser.  It is cut past center and teamed with our longbow limbs really smokes an arrow.

One of, if not.......the BEST out there. Elmer knows how to build a bow, and doesn't mess around (time wise) in getting it done.

Whisperstik makes a kijakastik long bow that is a deadly weapon!! but you need to try as many different bows you can to find the one that fits like a glove(both by feel and the looks you like)
 
 
 This one is 60"- 57#@ 28"
Here's the one I had JD lund make me last spring, I also gor the recurve limbs with it!  These bows are fast, smooth and very quiet! Prices arn't to bad also!!

There's lots of good ones. You can't go wrong with one of Elmer Pattons bows. I also have a Roy Hall Navajo Scout that I really like. Can't really say about all the others. Just shoot all the different ones you can before making up your mind.

I have shot most all the bows listed and a few more.  If I had more $$ probably an ACS, but for the price I couldn't resist a Firefly.  They are quiet, quick, stable...........and working with Jim is great!

There are a lot of good ones out there that's for sure. Below is a link to Hermanns Archery. I am having Fred build me a 64", 50# @ 29" 3pc. t/d in Bacote.

Cari-Bow/Abe Penner makes an out standing 3 piece longbow. The silver Fox is exceptionally made in every way. I wouldn't trade or sell mine for anything.
I reckon so

Steve, call Horne and Great Plains about there 3 piece longbows and see where they can cut the riser out the way you want it. Get a 66" length if they agree. Both these bow designs have been around for years and are proven designs. I was at Vanderpool and was waiting on Mark Horne and his group of four to shoot across a canyon at about 55 yards and three of the shooter hit in the kill area using Hornes 3 piece longbows. Good luck! Ken
