If you can find a Predator Classic by Bill Matlock, buy it.

Dave Wallace makes the Wallace Mountain longbow that is a very good shooter and looks second to none. If interested let me know and I'll get you a phone number

Northern Mist.  Steve is a stand up guy and I would never hesitate to do work with him.

Sunset Hill bows are made by Nate Steen in Idaho.  I'll see if I can dig up his contact information.

They're gorgeous, especially the flamed 'boo with myrtle handles. And made in the mold of the John Schultz glass bows.

I do believe his wait list is about eight months...and worth every day.

If you don't mind mild r/d, you'd be hard pressed to find a better bow of the style than the Robertson Purist either.

Guess you can tell these are one of my favorite types...lol...

I've also had a hankering for a "D" style from Dan Toelke, who also makes the "Whip" longbows.

BORDER BOWS!!!!!!!

I think you would be hard pressed to find a better Straight Gripped "D" shaped when strung bow than the Griffon!

No handshock even when shot down to a 6" brace height and F A S T!!!  It is the TOTAL package in my estimation for that style of bow.

Libertys are REAL nice as well.  I own a Cheif Elite and have been very pleased with it.

Lots of great choices out there today.

Liberty English. I picked this bow up yesterday after a six month layoff and was shooting with hunting accuracy from the first shot. You can also try before you buy.

I used to have a Northern Mist Longbow.  I wish I would have never sold it.  It was one of the sweetest shooting longbows I have ever owned.  I would never hesitate to get another one (if I could talk my wife into letting me spend the money).
