Smoothest drawing R/D Longbow?

[threeunder]

I know it is subjective unless we do a bunch of testing, but subjective is okay with me...LOL.

What's the smoothest drawing R/D longbow you've shot?  Give us the specs (especially bow length and draw length).

Hope to see that a pattern emerges.

Well let's see: Mohawk, Northern Mist,and Liberty Long Bows are 3 I can think of right off the bat.

My RER LX, 64 inches, drawn to 30 inches and just over 60 pounds on my scale

I have a 3pc Acadian Woods Tree Stick that is 60" 54@28 and is the smoothest drawing LB I have ever owned, and I have had a few …

[Sixby]

Of course the smoothest I have drawn is the Eaglewing  belly mount. But Hey!!!! I could be predjudiced.

God bless, Steve

St. Joe River would be Hard to beat. Best shooten long bow I've shot.

[threeunder]

That belly mount Steppe Eagle is awfully smooth too Steve!!!  LOL

Lone wolf Autumn storm...50#@28" an 62" draw...

Sentman Moosejaw longbow, 64", 50#@28" and I draw between 25" and 26". It is cut to center so I can shoot a range of spines or arrow sizes. At the present time I can shoot a 1816, 1916, and 2015 aluminum arrow at 26" with three 3" feather fletchings. Ar far as broadheads, I can shoot a 250 grain ACE (good at close range), but I prefer a 160 grain Simmons Landshark (old heads), and a Zephyr weighed at 170 grains. It is smoother to draw and has no noticeable hand shock. As far a strings go I shoot a 14 strand dacron string without silencers.

My 62" Hill Country Wildcat is smooth out to my 31" draw length. Really thinking about getting the 66" limbs. Can only imagine how nice it would be.

a 70" bow will draw smoother than a 60" bow,,,,,,and even though these posts will get bias because MOST of the bows made be reputable bowyers will draw smooth to their tillered draw length,,, what length bow and what style R/D bow are you interested in?

I personally like smooth but stout feeling,, I need to feel that weight building up maybe 2 1/2#'s per inch of draw,, I do not like when the forced draw curve is un even coming back..

I cannot mention my absolute favorite because it is not R/D but the 2nd choice would easily be my old and long gone 62" Thunderstick 3 w/ osage limbs,,, 2nd is my 64" Baraga with flat grain elm limbs,, and this is based on a perfect feeling forced draw curve which defines smoothness to me.

I have all three of the Libery r/d longbow models, they all are very smooth drawing bows and exceptional beauty & workmanship.

Toelke Whip. 64" 45#@28"

[LongStick64]

Can't be anything smoother than a Big Jim Thunderchild

[wapiti]

Toelke Whip.

[moththerlode]

That would be my favorite bow, a 64" Hummingbird out of many that I have blown through. Have a whip 66" 2 pc that I just got from a trade that is pretty darn smooth, but not as smooth as the 3pc 64" Hummingbird  that I traded for it. My 64" Whippenstick not as smooth as either but a real shooter. Have a 64" D that is a beast but I like it.

I'd have to second this.  I have the same bow (different weight) and it is so smooth.

[Mojostick]

Both Toelke Whip and Northern Mist Baraga are buttery bows.

[WESTBROOK]

Northern Mist Superior or Robertson, 66" drawn to 30". As good as they get IMO for a mild D/R bow.
