Aggressive R/D hybrid longbow appreciation thread

[Nativestranger]

This is the thread for radical R/D longbows that like think they are recurves. Longbows that either retains their reflex when strung or brace to a triangular shape profile. Your own bow or not, all are welcome. Lets see those sexy curves here!

I will start with this image I just found on the internet. Its called Xcellerator. No idea what it is but the riser looks similar to a Toelke Whip

I like this style too. Almost all the performance of a full-blown recurve, with very little possibility of limb twist. I've never heard of this style bow developing limb twist.  Has anyone else?

Wait til I post a pic of my 64" LB-limbed Zipper SXT.  Talk about R/D limbs, they're like crescent moons, LoL.

My Lost Creek Life Ender. A bit more aggressive than my Lost Creek Judge. The last pic is thrown in just because I find the grip so perfect.

your Xcellerator is a Fedora.

Think that's a fedora bow, several bowyers incorporate the thumbrest on their bows a double carbon centaur r/d longbow is faster than most recurves great designs

I'm really diggin' my Kanati. Now I want another R/D bow. So many great ones to choose from. Big Jim Thunderchild, Javaman Elkheart, Timberghost Smoke, Bigfoot Yeti and many more I'm forgetting. I've never heard anything negative about the above mentioned bows.

my Tomahawk Diamond series longbow.

The Thunderstick MOAB... I don't have a good profile pic at this point but the limbs have static tips without the string touching the belly.  Great shooters!  Also the Big Jim Thunderchild, another great short hybrid longbow...

Static tips on a longbow?
Please explain.

The Shrew fits in the hybrid category...great shooting well mannered bows.
The one that really comes to mind on radical is the new Zipper Nitro by Bill Dunn...this baby has some serious curvature to the limbs and is faaaassst!

Treadway Black Swamp!I used to have one but don't have good pics

Another one I like the looks of is the Dwyer Endeavour, can someone tell me how do they shoot?

Like a house afire. Those limbs are getting a good workout at 29.5, and have a lot of stored energy just waiting to be released. Doesn't stack at my draw length, but I would guess it would start at 30". A screamer, but nice and quiet too.

My Judge is 2" longer and 2# heavier at 28". At 29.5 they are both the same. Another nice bow.

MOAB

Love my MOAB's!  It would be fun to shoot some other similar bows just to compare.
