I've always liked the reflex deflex of these bows...

Two Rivers Longbows. Leroy Buckley. Something like this will be my next bow. Their osage backed with bamboo.

 
   
   


He also makes a take down version like this.
 

 

I would like a once piece with the camo wood riser backed with osage and bamboo, and then copperhead skins to protect the bamboo.

everyone needs to post pics with their suggestions lol. So we can see what your talking about. I'm in the market for an aggressive reflex deflex longbow, but will probably be getting a don dow stik bow, not super aggressive but its still a nce r/d.

Personally, I don't think you can beat the MOAB.  I know it is all subjective, but the MOAB's give me everything I want in a R/D longbow.

This isn't a very good picture, but does show one of the limbs.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I know it is a recurve but that black swan archery wave is crazy looking.

Try stringing a zipper nitro...that is an extreme r/d longbow!

Chromebuck...correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that second pic down is a Dwyer endeavor...

FerretWYO's bow looks like a winner, but I would like to see a strung pic please.

This is one bow that I'd love to get my hands on and put some arrows through.

The Centaur Carbon Elite I bought from you is the most aggressive RD longbow I've personally shot. Almost a year later with it as my main bow I still can't find any faults with it. I REALLY love this bow. It'll chasing turkeys with me starting next week.

   

Here is the strung centaur (right) compared to the strung MOAB (left bow)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned an ACS.  Not only are the limbs highly reflexed, the riser limb bed angle is much shallower than most other one-piece or 3-piece hybrids making for high pre-loading and performance.

If they get too aggressive, aren't they called "recurves"?

Still great bows, no matter what we call them!

Are vertical stability and forgiveness compromised in designs that shows aggressive reflex when strung?

I say the 21st century bows were highly reflex/deflex bows and when Buddy and Jim making them they were amazing

Agree with Over&Under on the Zipper Nitro.  

You think they made a mistake and sent you recurve limbs before you string it up.     :D

This particular one was damaged by high humidity in the south and can not be strung.
