Bows that never got the glory they deserved

[moleman]

Through the yrs, there have been a lot of great bows that never really got the credit they deserved for one reason or another.
If you own or have shot a bow like this, it would be interesting to hear what it is.
My first thought is the Jim Bo longbows, built by the late Mr. Willoferd of Ohio. (hope i spelled the name right, out of respect)
Ive got 2 of his longbows, which are AMAZING shooters!, which will have a home here always.
Your thoughts?

Legend Longbows by Jim Johnson, Lonetree by Ron Castoe and Frederick Longbows by Fritz Johnk. The first 3 that come to mind for me.

Green Mountain Longbows......Jim stopped making them and that was a real shame.......Great craftsmanship from Vermont!!

X2 on Green Mountain.  Jim made a great bow with exceptional eye to detail.

Rick Lepp, Bow River Archery, a Canadian bowyer that made great bows, I have a Whitetailer R/D long bow, it is a great bow!!

Had one of them in 70# and it near killed me.  But BOY did that throw an arrow!

MY vote for underrated would be the Shakespeare Necedah X line in the higher 30 series.

Aspen Longbow, made by Byron Schurg. I just picked one up a couple weeks ago, and I can;t put it down.

Jordan Stalker recurves by John Jordan of Ohio. These are great recurves made by a great man!

Harold Groves never liked to advertise his bows. If he did they would have been used by many more archers than they were.

Vince Yak made a really nice longbow line....Shadow bows. He got involved in other more profitable activities but his longbows were the only ones I could shoot as well as my recurves.

Black creek bows, fast and quiet!

[GRINCH]

Brian Holley long bows and our own Bill Warren Iraqouis bows.

[GRAYBEARD]

Never shot a Holley but Grinch is dead on about Bill's Iroquois bows.

x2 on jordan stalkers  i have 2 and are great bows,  i've owned the best and these are as good as any i've shot

[GRINCH]

Jed I really like his bows I'd trade or buy one in a heartbeat,they are shooters.
