Heartland Longbows - See pictures

[Moots]

Cory Engert of Heartland Longbows is a fine bowyer and good man.  I first contacted Cory after I saw a picture of one of his longbows on this site, and have now owned a couple of his bows.  Cory builds a forward riser one-piece (see pictures below) and a three-piece belly-mount takedown, which I haven't had the pleasure of shooting yet, but Britt Batterton (britt) on this site raves about his.

Cory's one-piece bows are fast, smooth to draw, quiet, and accurate. Like many of you, I have owned a lot of 62" and 64" longbows.  Some of my favorites include Cari-bow Peregrine and Fox Royal Crown, both very good bows, but I have sold these and others in favor of my Heartland longbow.  Thanks Cory!

Rob, Nice looking bows. I just saw some pics of a 62" Zircote and zebra wood that you had. I wish I would have seen that sooner.

Moots, where is his contact on here? Thank you.

I was one of the lucky winners of the Compton bow raffle of 2014. One of the bows I won was a Heartland longbow. It was by far my favorite. Its one of those bows you know you will never sell or trade. When I'm not shooting an ASL longbow, I'm shooting my Heartland. Corey's bow is as fast as any recurve I've ever shot, and the grip is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the Heartland. Corey contacted me  when he found out I won his bow. He told me if the poundage wasn't right or if the bow didn't quite fit me, he had others in his shop I could try. How's that for customer service, especially since he donated the bow. I wouldn't hesitate in ordering a bow from Corey. Corey's top notch in my book.

Fred,

That 62" Zircote / Zebra wood longbow was a great shooter.  The two pictured are 64" bows.  

I am working with Cory now to build me a three-piece takedown at 68".

Cory builds beautiful, great-performing bows at fair prices.  Excellent customer service, and a fine guy.

Rob and Greg,
Thank you for the kind words. I feel like I get a little closer to where I want to be on the quality of my bows but I'm not satisfied yet. Maybe in ten years or so lol, i guess when a guy stops getting better its time to find another path.
 
Thanks,
Cory

I received one of Cory's bows in last years bowswap. 60" 60@29. It's my main brush bow. Shoots a 750gr arrow with serious authority. Ive had offers from friends for it, ain't happening. Can't say enough about this bow. It's awesome!

 GET IT OFF THE CONCRETE!!    
Really pretty bows you have there...

[Moots]

No worries Matty.  I just wanted the straight edge of the sidewalk to help show the contour of the bows.  Not a scratch.

Very nice. I love the strung profile.
God bless, Steve

Yes, they are great bows. Cory had great communication skills when he built my bow. He called,texted and emailed pics and info. every step of the way. Best experience I'v had with a bowyer. My 3-piece is sweet, smooth, and fast.

[Steve Jr]

Really nice looking bows!

Hey Moots

Out of all the 20 odd bows I have bought and sold over the years, my Fox Royal Crown is the one I have always regretted selling.  It was a beautiful bow in every way.  I have always longed to get another.  Can you explain a bit more in detail how these Heartland bows are even better than the R/C?  Maybe it would be a bit cheaper for me than the R/C and wouldn't have to wait so long - if you reckon they are better!  Their style is similiar - both R/D longbows.  Also - does he have a website - I did a search and could not find one?

Cheers

I had an opportunity to have one of Cory's belly mount recurves...kick myself for not pulling the trigger...

Sutto,

Please know that I have the highest regard for Ron and Debbie King, and I am a very big Fox bow fan.  I still own a Fox Triple Crown and Breed -- both are excellent bows.

I have owned and shot a lot (too many) longbows; many have been aggressive r/d bows 62 - 64" in length.  For me, the very best of these bows included the Peregrine (I've owned two), the Fox Royal Crown (I've owned two), and Cory's Heartland longbow.  

I ordered my Royal Crown from Ron, and it is a beautiful bow, and a good shooter.  But I found myself always shooting my Heartland.  My Heartland is smoother to draw (with the bamboo core), as fast or slightly faster, absolutely dead in the hand with the forward riser, accurate, and I prefer the grip.  Cory's standard grip is slightly lower than the standard R/C grip, and a little more contoured.  So head to head, I prefer the Heartland over the Royal Crown (and the Peregrine). Cory builds beautiful, high-performing bows at a very fair price, and his customer service is second to none.

Hope this helps,
Moots

Rob,
Those are great looking bows friend.  We've owned a bunch of bows and you have consistently ranked Cory's at the top of the heap.  Based on what you have told me about his customer service he has it going on.  I see one for me or my boys in the near future.  Take care and shoot straight.

I have to agree with Cory's communication and customer service.  He spent a lot of time with me last night to make sure that I received the bow that I was looking for, to the smallest detail.

Rob, Thanks for the heads up on Cory and his bows.

[Moots]

Hi Kevin,

Hope you are well, and we need to head over to the 3D range and do some shooting.

I think you will be pleased with your Heartland.

Rob
