I know this question is certainly a personal thing, but in general what is the easiest, most forgiving, least stacking, least hand shock bow for a longer draw under say, $500?

Find yourself a used Mohawk or NM Baraga or Superior. Or other 64-66" mild D/R longbow

How long a draw you talkin'

Quinn Stallion is always on that list, can't beat them for the money and some to boot.

I see your from the great state of PA. Do you have any Trad bowshops in your area? If you do go there and try for yourself as many bows that they have and report back on your findings. Truly every one of us would like the answer to your question...I for one don't have the luxury of a good trad shop in my area so I had to embark on a several year quest of buying, trading etc. to get my answer to your question. I'm enjoying that quest (lots of money spent) and have a better idea of what works for me...but bow perfect is still out there! Good luck on your quest.

A Bear Montana or Super Kodiak would be bows that I would consider.

Well ive shot a number of bows and have owned a few but im getting ready to swap to lefty so i want something really easy to shoot

I'd take a look at the Hoyt Buffalo, does everything you want, and you can find a used one in your price range!

I'm willing to bet there will not be agreement on this one...or even close. I just think most of today's bowyers put out quality products that many find smooth and easy to shoot. My number one piece of advice is "don't overbow yourself."

Shoot as many as you can and decide for yourself. Too many variables out there. One thing is for sure, when you find it you will know. For me I think the grip is the most important.

Problem is that all i have are rh bows and guys wih rh bows around me. Nothing lefty to compare with. I love my hills and especially my kohannah kurve but i dont know if they shoot the same lefty

Sent ya a list of Lefties. I agree do not over bow yourself. I am a Lefty and started shooting right about 2 years ago. I started about 10-15 lighter than what I normally shoot Left. Now I am up to the same on each side. The biggest thing is to shoot lots a arrows. The awkwardness goes away faster. Good Luck. I also shoot instinctive so the eye dominent stuff does not matter.

You might consider something in an ILF. Get a decent riser to start like the dalaa, dryad or Morrison metal and a inexpensive set of light limbs, recurve or longbow your choice. Easy to upgrade limbs in poundage and performance later with many choices avaialbe. With a long draw a longer bow will be smoother.

Hoyt Buffalo -- find a used one - easy to tune and good mass weight makes it shockingly accurate...at least for me.

michaelschwister · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2012, 07:37:00 PM »

Second the hoyt bufalo. Have someone help you tune it and I swear you have to try to miss with those darn things.

Shot a Hoyt buffalo this past week for the first time, and they are truly sweet and easy shooting bows. Don't think you can go wrong there, although the ilf approach is a good one also.

khardrunner · « **Reply #17 on:** March 10, 2012, 07:48:00 PM »

Where do you find Quinns?

Gen273 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:14:00 PM »

For me it is a Zipper SXT with Longbow limbs.

String-follow wood or bamboo bow. Quietest one in the woods.
