What are some bowyers that currently make an extreme deflex/reflex 1-piece longbow? I'm talking about the kind of curve in the limbs that if you were to extend them a few more inches, it would want to transform into a recurve....

Don't know about transforming into a recurve, but BigJim's buffalo bow is a fairly extreme r/d longbow.

They are recurves when they're like that!

As much as they are "longbows" anyway! How about a Bob Lee "hybrid?" (Don't call them longbows around me)! :D

Curveman, ironic you mentioned that - I was picturing the Bob Lee's lines in my mind when I was composing my post. I had one of the Lee Stickbows for a while, but it just wasn't the bow for me - much too slow for my liking.

I'd love to see a strung profile of BigJim's bows....

Most I have seen tapper into the tips over a longer section so they don’t just look like a recurve with a hair less curl at the ends of the limbs, but the MOAB is probably the one I think of as having the most look of a recurve at the ends of the limbs. Yet it has more string to limb clearance than most hybrids and is very quiet.

Tom- Take a look at my web site. We have moved a copy of the slide show of my bows there as well.

thanks, bigjim

Thanks, bigjim. I like the lines of your bow. You have lots of pictures but very few showing the strung profile.
I'll be giving you a call.

Tom take a look at Leon Stewart's LS Slammer. The 60 inch Lil Slamer posted on the site is pushing it about as far as it will go wo/ turning inside out. Fast and whisper quiet.

Leon Stewart's LS Slammer, I'll second that.

Lost Creek. IMO the best longbow out there for the money. Ken

Killy,
Likely I won't, as I'm supposed to have a HighPower rifle competition that same weekend. Gotta make up my mind soon, though. Jeff and Brooke will be there - camping spot #8.
