Heavy Quiet 3pc Longbows?

I would agree that a Bob Lee will fill the bill.

[Greg Clark]

I really like my Bob Lee recurve riser with long bow limbs they made to fit.  Quieter than the recurve limbs but with same mass and grip.

MY FEDORA extreme hybrid  is   VERY QUIET    almost as quiet as my one piece  Stewart slammer and that is the quietest bow I have ever shot.  
   The Fedora is not the heaviest I own but is has enough weight to "Feel " right in the hand .  Right now the Fedora is my GO TO   hunting bow .

Check out one of the new sponsors "Timberghost Bows".  They have good riser mass and will shot with the best of them.

[Steelhead]

Morrison shawnee C size riser.

[T Folts]

Dymondwood risers have good mass if you want a wood look to your bow. Most bowyers will use it if asked to. I have one I made and it is heafty.

[Rick Wiltshire]

I have a nice Spirit takedown with a riser of Bocote and Cocobolo.  That combination creates a heavy riser.  

Actually I prefer a lighter riser (my Pronghorn), I find that it is easier for me to hold my bow on target, after the shot, with a lighter riser; with a heavier riser I can find myself dropping my bow arm every so often after the shot.

Thanks for leads - I will start looking at some of these. Nobody shooting Schafer longbow? Talltines?

Bob Lee x 2 for a recurve grip with longbow limbs in a three piece take down. He even has one bow called "The Heavyweight". Plenty of mass to quiet down the bow and absorb vibration.

I'm finishing the bow you are talking about right now. Cocabola riser with phenolic I beam , 45 lb. double carbon limbs ,, smooth as silk and hits like a freight train. Its one of the heaviest bows I have ever built./ Sold though.

God bless you, Steve

Steve - I was getting excited until the last little note -SOLD

Not nice!!!!

[Chromebuck]

I fumbled around with the same issue for months before I finally decided that the whole concept of shooting better or with more confidence using a heavier riser(typical of recurve converts)was a farse.  My biggest obstacle was and still is my own mind.  Carried around a Habu Death Adder that I shoot quite well for a while and then started shooting a Toelke Whip, Centaur Carbon Elite, Thunderhorn one piece Vintage, and now a Bama Expedition Hunter and so on...  For true spot and stalk hunting I found the weight difference was enormous and that any lack of confidence based on mass of riser was going to be overcome!  I am now recovered and quite thankful to someone who pointed this out to me.

However, if you must follow your own mind as I very much did.  I think Sixby is spot on!  Additionally, what I did during my spell with the mass/weight psyche was call my bowyer and see what woods or combination of wood/phenolic he had in stock or recommended for greater mass.

Just so happens that bow was recently in the Classifieds.  It has a riser made of Cocobola and Ebony seperated by a accent of black phenolic.  It reigns as the most beautiful bow that I ever owned and one of the heaviest...
   

Best,

Elmer Patton's Crow Creek Black Feather fits the bill on all accounts.  It has a heavy riser, is quiet and is a deadly accurate shooting bow at 45-48#@28".

I have a Tall Tines all Macassar Ebony 3 piece longbow.  Specs are: 64", 50# @ 28" and I had Brian cut the riser 3/16" past center so that any of my arrows can be shot out of the 2 different bows I have to hunt with without making any changes. (Tall Tines and Two Tracks Ambush).  

My TT has very nice mass weight, especially with a 4 arrow angle mount Kanati quiver and 4 arrows, and to me, it is silent without any silencers on the string.  The bow is braced at 7 3/16" and shooting a 640 grain wood arrow.

[overbo]

You have the bow your looking 4.Trust me.You WILLNOT find a better shooting bow than your Vyperkahn.I've been thru and shot most of the mentioned bows and none of them impressed me more than my VK.
I've had my VK for 4 years and at least 6+ other bows later.

[pamike]

I agree BUT my vyperkahn is a little too short 60" and a little too heavy 52+ at 30" draw. My NEW vyperkahn will be perfect but I can't have that for another year.

If someone has a lighter weight vyperkahn I will buy it!

[overbo]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
60'' VK and a 30'' draw.I feel your pain

[pamike]

It was perfect at 27 1/2" and my BAD form.

[Sixby]

Get this in Cocabola , bocote, or maccassar with phenolic I beam and carbon foam core or boo core limbs and you will have your dream bow. Check this out,. 7 1/4 inch brace. 64 or 66 inch model for a stackfree 30 in draw.
God bless, Steve
