Take a look at the Tomahawk Bows Legacy series. It is a really great shooting bow. I had one for about a year and just found 3 piece longbows aren't for me. It really shot well though.

Leon Stewart Slammer 3 piece, excellent bow, hits where you looking and works of art.

Take a look at a Timberghost. Love mine. Great bow and Kent Roberts is a top notch guy. God bless.

Not a form issue - more of a bad bow elbow that doesn't react to bow shock well.  It is more noticiable in latter years and when shooting longbows as compared to recurves.

Actually  mass riser weight has little to do with hand shock brutha... getting the limbs timed and balanced to the pressure point in the grip is the key.... getting the whole limb working together and getting those limbs stopping clean is critical too...... if you want the best of both worlds in in a little extra riser mass, and still have a one piece. you could try a Flatliner with a solid G-10 phenolic or ebony riser,like these.

I have a northern mist Witbeck I like a lot.

[Lordswarrior]

bezaleel " real mccoy" the best i've ever shot and then a stewart slammer.

My Sarrels Blueridge longbow is my go-to bow.

Love the lines on your Flatliner bows Kirk -- and they smoke an arrow.

Pronghorn.

It is tough to beat a TD PRONGHORN.

I finally got one in April 2013 and wondered why I waited so long...it is a SHOOTER!!!

Shoot straight, Shinken

I have a 3 piece sasquatch and a 3 piece hummingbird,  both awesome bows!

A&H ACS with Phenolic riser, it is fast smooth and quiet, oh ya just plain sweet!!!

3 pcs sasquatch...as dead in the hand as you can get.

[maxwell]

Leon Stewart slammer, nice mass in riser cut to center for easy tuning, hit where you look. Fast

[Angus]

After getting my Toelke Whip, I'm thinking I'll need one of his two-piece Whips too.  So quiet, so little hand shock I don't notice it.  Fast and deadly accurate.  I love my bow! (GEEZ!!!  I sound like that dog in the "I love my bank" ad!)

striker  tdl is the way to go have 2 of them

[flinthead]

Hey Dave,

Looks like you have a lot of good recommendations. I like a one piece myself. So, From my point of view, and experience, you need to pick your favorite grip on one of your one piece bows, and what ever bowyer you choose to build your three piece, make sure he can duplicate that grip. If you don't I promise you, you won't be happy. Been there, done that.

Good Luck
