What bow do you think will be the next big thing?

[Raging Water]

Holy Smokes! I forgot to mention Nathan Steele's Bama Bows.

Do yourself a favor and buy a freaking wonderful long bow from Nate and only spend $279 for the Hunter and the top of the line Royal is a hair over $400.

My $279 Hunter will smoke an arrow and is super, repeat, super quiet!!!

Anyone try Hitman custom carbon?

[Mike Vines]

What ever the bow, one of my arrows will fly awesome out of everyone of them.

I also forgot Armold Smit of V Archer.

Feast your eyes. Arnold is the MAN!!!!

Since you asked who do you think, I will have to say I think the next rave will be

Chad Holm or Jason Kendall.  Great bows and affordable.

I have shot their bows and they perform well. From what I hear there is great customer service also.

Personally I dont own either but that's purely because I am happy with my bow.  In fact I want one more bow just like mine but in a take down model and 50 lbs so I can hunt any common North American Big Game animal and have a back up to boot.  

Hope whoever is the next big name bowyer, I hope they deserve it!

Raging Water,

You obviously don't have time to post here...if you're going to keep all those bows happy!   :D

I been shooting a navajo stick for a while and love it but had a chance to shoot a Rick Welch Dakota recurve and fell for it real quick.  Sure hope he get mine to me before hunting season is over this year.  I really like the Rick Welch recurve.

[Rob DiStefano]

i dunno what else can be done to elevate a stick 'n' string's performance beyond the recurve and longbow offerings out there today.  then again, the nature of stickbows will always be a compromise of sorts between speed (limb and arrow) and "stability".  the latest whiz-bang stick may be breaking 200fps but how critical, how consistent, is it shot after shot in hunting situations?

there so many cool bows out there, such beautious eye candy!  i want 'em all!!!  but there's a huge difference 'tween "want" and "need".  my longbow works quite well for me, i no longer have a "need" list.  :cool:

[Andy Cooper]

Rob! You need to want more bows!
         :D

I think Duane Jessop at THUNDERHORN has stumbled upon a great LB recipe in his "vintage" I put some pics of his first one on here which I got recently.

I chronoed it and it out performed some other bows mentioned here by 6-7% on speed which is a lot for trad bows with heavy arrows. shot 12gpp at the same speed as 11gpp on my other slightly higher poundage bows.

We have a Lost Creek NAT on the way, sounds like a good quick bow for shooting out of tight places.  Different for what I have used, but they look good.

I test drove one of South Cox's bows . And the grip just melted into my hand.. It will be the next bow I have on order.

There are so many great bows out there. I don't know how anyone can be familiar with all of them so as to make accurate comparisons. When someone says this bow or that bow is the best, they probably haven't shot or even heard of a bow that someone else thinks is the best. Besides that, most bowyers make a variety of bows. It's inevitable that some will be better than others.

Having said that, I like Hummmingbirds a lot, Morrison bows are nice, Beeler, and Belcher bows are nice too. Right now I'm shooting a Striker longbow and it is sweet. If I were going with a factory bow it would be a Bob Lee, Jeffreys, or a Samick bow like the Red Stag.

You can buy beauty, and you can buy performance, but if the bow doesn't suit you then you have wasted your time and money. I would rather have a used $100 bow that suits me than a $1200 bow that does not.

[Sixby]

2 Fletch, I have a policy. If you buy one of my bows and it doesn't suit you and its a legitimate reason. Send it back. Full return of your money. I don't want anyone to own one of my bows and have it hanging on a rack while he shoots a 200. bow. God Bless you all and have a great day. Steve

[BobW]

can you keep a secret?

Hill Country bows.......

I can't agree more, and BigJim is a pleasure to deal with
