Firefly's by Jim Jones with bamboo limb cores are the smoothest I have shot. There is so many well made bows out there though, im sure alot of others will chime in and give ya some ideas too.

70 inch 21st Century Longbow. Very smooth draw force curve.

the Anneewakee addiction longbow is the smoothest, best efficiency longbow combination ive ever loosed an arrow from. theyve got a feel like nothing else. plus theyre a great looking bow.

I would say any long limb bow with Boo. I'm a fan of the Hill Wesley at 70 inches. Smooooooth!

My old Wilderness bow was very smooth no longer made. The Kota longbow is also smooth but the D bow by Dan Toelke "Montana bows" is a great bow. I have shot his D bow twice before and have one coming next week. He is a incredible man as well. A real class act. Bama bows by Nate are also a very smooth bow and he is a good guy got one of his about 2-3 years ago. I would not hesitate to suggest Dan Toelke for a bow.

Well - it was perhaps bad idea to ask advice from the tribe - but only because of all the good hints here makes you want not only one, but several new bows ... and again - thank you !

I have shot and owned a pile. Firefly is great. BW pL is very smooth to draw, but not all that quick or dead in the hand. If you want smooth, quiet, dead in hand, fast, and a little mass, I would say ACS 3PC. My wildcat is also very good, but not as fast as the ACS. Both are very easy on the draw and no shock on the joints.

If you can order your bow with an option to have Foam Cores in the limbs it will produce a smoother drawing bow - been my experience anyway.

Hard to beat a split bamboo. The very definition of smooth.

A&H acs, that was easy.

I think a lot of this is personal preference but since you asked I will give my two cents worth.

Sarrels Blueridge (long riser) takedown longbow. It does not get any smoother than that (IMHO)!

Are you looking for a one piece or a 3 piece bow?

I know with joint problems you will be more sensitive to handshock than most folks and precieve vibration in your bow more accutly that registers as pain or discomfort.

If your looking for a one piece bow you might consider a 2 piece instead with a metal sleeve to add a little massweight and further dampen any vibration.

I think a Whippenstick by Ken Rohloff with his metal sleeve TD would be very good and still have the traditional longbow appeal and not be a 3 piece.His bows are fast and smooth to draw and shoot and with the 2 piece option your gonna get very little residual vibration at the end of the shot do to the added weight.Diamondwood may be a good choice for the riser for density and add a bowquiver if you want it to be even more dead in the hand.His 66 inch model is a very smooth shooting bow all around.

Thiers alot of other great bows ofcourse.Just another one to consider in your quest.

My 66" Black Widow is really nice and smooth out to my 31". I'm a recurve-to-longbow convert, and don't feel ANY handshock in the BW longbow.

I dropped weight myself, went to 48# Treadway, RD longbow with bamboo core. All of the Treaways have bamboo cores, are short and draw smoothly with no stack, whisper quiet with decent speed.

Try a 7Lakes, anything Mike makes is very smooth! You could go 62"s even and get a very quick, very quiet, great, smooth shooting bow from Mike! Shawn

My dad hasn't shot bows in years due to an old wrestling injury really making his shoulders sore. When he was out here recently I let him shoot my mohawk (48# and 64") and he had no shoulder pain at all. It was awesome seeing him do something he loves so much again. It has slight reflex/deflex so I think that helps.

Hope that helps...

Centaur or ACS. Both are very smooth.

I dont understand :confused:
