Here's the one I built this year for the bow swap on the Bowyer's Bench.  It went to Kenny McKenzie.

Back a few posts.....I love them Stotlers....

[Brianlocal3]

I am a hill shooter at heart Ron , but those Stotlers are hard hard hard to beat

[ron w]

The Stotlers just have that classic 50's look that makes you think of places like the Little Delta and great adventures. I like a lot of different stuff but they are just cool!!

I see what you're talking about, Rob. Great thread. I'm really enjoying the comments on this topic and the pics.

Another vote for the Toelke Super D.  Quiet, dead in hand, and fast.  Fit and finish  like... well its a Toelke so not much more to add to that.

Any other non-tip flippers?   :D

[ermont]

Or should that be non-flip tippers?

TTT for a great thread

[Sant-Ravenhill]

Just went through this thread again. I had to bring it to the top. Great pictures and information!

Wow a lot of nice bows mentioned & shown here. I'm not picture litterate so can't post pictures.

I have bows from two different makers that I think will qualify.
I have bows from Ron Fox & Ron King aka Fox Archery.
Both these bows are fantastic shooters.        His bows are very good.

My first R/D Longbow was a Saxon....
    I was deadly with that Bow, won a lot of 3D with it....
    I wonder if he still makes Bows....?

Add me to the list of fans for this style of bow. After four years of shooting traditional, and trying just about every type of bow out there, I finally found what I really like. I picked up a Liberty English here on the classifieds less than a month ago, and then I just got a Mohawk Sparrowhawk. They're both awesome bows, and shoot equally well. I'm sold on the mild r/d style of bow. All the smoothness and quietness of a Hill style, with just a little more zip.

Definately a mild R/D bow with a distinctive D shape but the riser may get me disqualified, we'll see.

Just giving a heads up, Kirk at Bigfoot bows is about to start #001 in the Stealth bow in about a week or so. This is something that has been in the works a while and will look much like a classic hill strung but give better performance. Plan on a build along on a separate thread showing the details of what goes into this design to make it so.Thanks and keep an eye out for the build along.

I CAN'T WAIT......that's great !

[JB74nola]

Here's my Mahaska, I love this bow!

Just as I was planing on selling a kidney to fund a Flatliner. Can't start that thread started fast enough for me.
