It's your thread buddy.
I'll take em off if ya like.
     

Just kidding. If the maker calls it a longbow, who am I to argue?  LOL. I love that Sasquatch though.

[Zradix]

she's a pretty one that's for sure.
I know what you're saying about pushing it though..lol

Here's a pic of my Tomahawk Legacy series. Quite a bit of d/r to this bow but it almost braces to a d shape.

It does look almost like a d shape longbow.  Is it the one which you mentioned shoots slower than the diamond series? Do you have pictures of the other one? [/b]

It shoots slower at the same brace height but I went out and tinkered with it today and got it a lot faster without being any less smooth I ended up with 6.8" brace height. The diamond series pictures are on the first couple pages of this thread.

Here's a different bow than any shown, It is a belly mounted d and r with yew cores and triple carbon. Owned by a fellow trad ganger and elk hunter These make an easy transition from recurve.

God bless you all, Steve

This is one of my favorites of your takedown designs. Bet it shoots fantastic as it looks. Thanks for posting!

[FarmerMarley]

Man, Zradix, that is a trippy looking bow with that crazy handle. Never seen anything like that!

[Zradix]

yeah...I really LOVED the looks of it..

SIXBY,  you are an artist

Here's one that's somewhat aggresive and spits an arrow pretty good. 62"  [email protected] (my draw) Really like the back limb mount. This one was made by a friend of mine. Shoots a 640 grain arrow 173 fps.

Fedora Xtrem:


 

 

 

Cari bow Peregrine:


 

 

 

[Nativestranger]

Magnifique! Which one is your favourite?

[hybridbow hunter]

The best shooter for me was the Fedora but the Peregrine Is the fastest and has the best grip and shelf design. i draw close to 32" and it was a bit stacky on the last inch of draw: a Peregrine in 64" with a better vertical limb stability would be my ultimate bow. But nobody want to make it!! LoL
  The mots beautiful and best finish and best overall quality for the price Is by far the Big Jim.
I really would like to give a try to a Toelke whip, a Liberty Edge and the RER VORTEX 2 and that nice one piece Eaglewing that L82HUNT  showed us is calling me        .

How about this dryad ilf with legend ACS 4G limbs. Shoots close to 200 fps      

[jerseyboy]

No the purple slippers are NOT mine...lol

We will judge that after we take foot imprint samples and match them.      :p

Thanks for sharing. That's a pretty long draw. I wonder how you hunt those beasts. Tree stand or ground blind? Getting pass throughs?

[FarmerMarley]

Wow! Hybrid bow hunter, that is quite a collection of bows and beasts!
How do you like the big jim buffalo at your draw? What length is it? I have a 31 inch draw and am looking at big jims bows as well as a few other aggressive and semi-short longbows. Do you have any recommendations?

Nativestranger, I assume he is getting lots of pass-throughs because most of those arrows in the pictures are not broken.

[hybridbow hunter]

yes most of the time i got pass through except on the cape eland female. The corsican ram and rusa deer were open land spot and stalked animals. Others were south african hunt in elevated blind except the blesbok arrowed in a ground blind. i shot all the game with the  big Jim 3 blade large heads but the rusa deer with an eclipse 2 blade heads and total arrow weight around 700 gr


Marley the buffalo bow is a 66" perfect for long draw. The Fedora is 64" also perfect for my draw-length . With 31" all of these bows would be perfect.
