longbow choice

[malcom.f]

Im looking at purchasing a new longbow
lookinhg at kohanna fury or the toelke whip
im like a bow with no hand shock
thanks for the input

I have a couple of Kohannas; one longbow and one recurve. Bob makes a good shooter and you can't  go wrong with his prices.

You cannot beat a Great Northern Bushbow. By far the best longbows that I have shot and I have owned well over 30 different bows. The only longbow that compares is a Great Northern Critter Gitter and Jerry has retired that model.

Those are both great choices. The Toelke has great reviews. I've shot the Kohanna and good quality and price. I'd suggest looking at Two Tracks Longwalker also. Great quality, workmanship, performance, and price. Chuck Deshler (Two Tracks) is a sponsor here also. Good luck.

Never shot a kohanna.

I really like my whip though.
Quietest, most shock free bow I've ever shot.

I realy like my big Jim buff and wild horse creek kestrel I shot a whip and it wasnt for me

I do not have either of those but, to give you another option, would recommend that you look at a Sarrels Blueridge. That is the finest longbow I have ever shot.

Of the two you listed, I would get the Whip.  Excellent craftsmanship and quick turn around time.  Plenty quick, quiet and free of handshock.

I have had bows by Toelke and Kohannah.....great bows and good performers. Just for fun take a look at Holm-Made by Chad Holms. Really great bows!

Lost Creek has a sale going on until the end of the month.

The above posted bows are all good choices.  I would strongly recommend getting a 2 piece.  Pay a little more up front and a lot less shipping.

Northern Mist bows will fit your stated goals as well.

My favorites are Morrison Shawnee and ILF's!

So many bows out there, my suggestion would be try to go to Denton Hill or somewhere like that to test drive a few different ones.

I second that. I shot his river runner and osprey at ETAR last year and they are both great bows.

Longbows, and bows in general are very personal. How you like them is more important than how others like them. Shoot before you buy.

That is good advice

I agree, try to shoot before you buy or buy used to run it through its paces and resell...  I've done the latter for years and have found the bows I like.  My favorites are the Thunderstick MOAB in 60", and the Big Jim Thunderchild in 56"... And my draw length is right at 30"...

Lots of good ones to choose from.....

My favorites are Bamabows.I have the expedition and elite classic. I agree they are very personal and you should try beofre you buy.
