Cari-bow Silverfox is by far my favorite. Smooth fast stable and quiet.

They are all great bows. It boils down to what you like,feel,grip, etc. My search led me to the A&H ACS in a 3 pc and that led me to the same in a 2 pc.

I haven't shot Cari-bow Silverfox, but I own a Peregrine . . . very fine bow.
I also own a Leon Stewart take-down Slammer. It is a very smooth and fine bow. Might be worth a look.

I have owned a Tall Tines and own Pronghorns. For me the smaller mass riser and grip of the Pronghorn fits me better than the heavier mass of the Tall Tines.

I have 5 Morrison Shawnees, they are the fastest and best shooting 3 piece bows I have found. Try one.

Not on your list, but I am partial to Neil Jacobsen at Bear's Paw. His three piece Carbon Hunter is state of the art and NEIL IS A MASTER IN THE CRAFT, AN HONEST TO GOODNESS HUNTING/SHOOTING MACHINE AND THE MOST SINCERE GUY OUT THERE. I have spent lots of money with him and it has been worth every penny. Before you commit to something else (I own Herb Meland bows as well--great man) call Neil. It will be well worth your time.

I have never seen a 3 piece longbow that I could get past the looks of but I have shot a few. When Dan Toelke started making his 3 piece Lynx he sent me one to shoot at some 3d shoots and I had the bow for a couple of months. It has a relatively small riser and like all of Dan's bows was smooth-drawing, dead in the hand stable, and was the quietest 3 piece bow I've ever shot or heard shot. It was beautifully crafted and has the benefit of available recurve limbs that make an absolute jewel of a t.d. recurve.

For me it's a toss with my A&H ACS longbow,my Zipper ZSR with carbon&foam limbs and my Dryad Orion.They are all good shooting bows.

I own a silver fox and have shot a few pronghorns and have held a tall tines. All three feel different in the hand. It's all going to depend on the grip style you like. Any of the three would be great choices. If you get the chance try to shoot any of the choices you listed.

You ought to consider both the RER and Robertson bows as well...my RER LXR has become my go to bow in the last year with my Robertson Fatal Styk as backup...I will eventually get a set of longbow limbs as well for the Robertson riser...I guess the thing to be happy about is that you have so many great choices...I have talked to most of the bowyers mentioned on the phone and found them all to be friendly and informative people with a true passion for what they do

Not on your list but I picked up a used Firefly 3 piece longbow and I am amazed on how smooth this bow is ! Has good speed and is quieter than any other bow I have shot . They are very reasonable in price, I was so impressed with this one I ordered a new one too . Might be worth a look .
