New bow advice: opinions wanted!

[TxAg]

Suggest to me a 60# bow that's relatively short, quiet, smooth, and quiet made for a 29" draw. An arrow combo that works would be an additional bonus.

Just curious here, the wheels are turning on trying out a heavier bow. Currently (and in the past) I shoot a Toelke Whip longbow. Hard to beat and might prefer a longbow, but not entirely against a recurve.

Kinda fantasizing here, but thanks in advance.

Martin Mamba, 58 inches.  I used to have one, I had no problems with a 29 inch draw.

[Oregon Okie]

Give Dan another call, he had some recurve at a shoot that was 58" and I drew it to 31 (at his encouragement)

[Archie]

I don't have but a tiny bit of experience shooting one, but the Big Jim TC really shot well for me at 58", even with a 31" draw.  I would assume that a Shrew would be a good option, too.

Stalker static smooth an quiet  

[bulldog18]

www.bamabows.com  Look ay Nate's expedition. Short reflex/deflex longbow that shoots smooth and fast.

[Biathlonman]

Toelke chinook.  What weight are you shooting now?

[KentuckyTJ]

Morrison Cheyenne with foam core limbs (A riser and C limbs would make a 58" bow and fantastic for a 29" draw)

60" Zipper SXT with foam core limbs

60" Thunderhorn 3-piece with Red Elm core limbs

These are the ones I've kept that posses all your criteria.

x2 Go with a Zipper !!!

[TxAg]

Some great recommendations. Thanks.

[JamesKerr]

I would go with any of these: Zipper foam core recurves, Big Jim Thunderchild, or any of the Shrew models if you are looking for a bow under 62". 62" and over my personal favorite is the Tomahawk line of bows. I have never personally shot any of these bows that pull 60# as you can see in my signature I shoot 55# bows.

Some great recommendations. Thanks.

big Jim or wild horse creek bow or lost creek would be my vote

[JJB2]

Zipper SXT, 58" would work at your draw or a 60".  Foam core, carbon lam as someone else said above.  My opinion would be 60" at your draw - nice and smooth.  I shoot an SXT - two sets of limbs, both foam core.  58" recurve and 64" lb, the curve is 62# at my 30" draw and the LB is 58#.  Both limbs shoot a 550 grn arrow 190 fps and a 650 grn at 175...of course that big boy would be running a little slower down range.  Can't go wrong with a Zipper.  Case in point, you'll probably have to buy a new one cause there aren't too many that hit the classifieds.

Look at the Wild Horse Creek for sale in the classifieds.  A great bow that is basically new.

My vote goes for a Kanati . For the price I just dont feel it can be beat . There are other bows with more specialty options out there , but in shootability and speed I dont think you can beat one of Jason's bows . He also just started taking orders again .

Herb Meland's Pronghorn, one piece or three.
