what's your budget and do you want a modern style or old school type of bow?

I am a big fan of Howard Hill Archery and Northern Mist. I own them. Also, I have shot longbows from JD Berry, even though I have not owned them. They are nice as well. I like 68" bows for the smoothness of draw, but for efficiency, a shorter bow may actually be better. A lot of guys can give you more technical info than me as well as point you toward some additional excellent bowyers. Good luck on your quest. It will be a fun trip for you.

I have a 50# @28 Mohawk Sparrowhawk for sale that will be posting in here if it does not sell on the big site...it is also listed in PBS Classifieds.

Mohawk 50@28, 66"...

Reflex/Deflex...it is actually the Sparrowhawk on the Mohawk website near bottom of page. 5 bamboo laminates...cocobola riser and limb tips...awesome bow. I bought it while waiting on my Primal Styk...it was the prototype shot and tested by Rob D...here on TradGang. Sweet bow.

Toelke Whip HS or Striker makes a nice classic r/d 1 piece for a really fair price, but the custom line looks to be 3 piece r/d only. You could check him out and see what he could make you in a 1 piece. I just bought a 3 piece Striker fastback cocabola/bocate. Quiet, accurate, compact and pretty quick

There are a number of nice longbows in that weight range that show up on the classified site here too. Lots of tempting classifieds.

The only way to know the right bow for you is to shoot as many as possible. Then make your decision. Most bowyers have test drive programs Or hit a big event like ETAR or Kalamazoo my .o2

Go to a TBOT shoot in Texas and shoot as many as possible. Bob Sarrels makes a great bow and he is just outside of Austin.

Where are you located in Texas?

Tajue17 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2015, 12:42:00 PM »

how long do you want to wait for the bow to be made or do you want it ASAP?

everyones going to have opnions on the best bow but these are the basic questions you must answer first to determine if you want an instock custom bow or wait up to a year for something with your own wood choices?

Fastltz · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2015, 05:28:00 PM »

I shot a lot of bows at kalamazoo this year and my goal is the same as yours...2 piece I want r/d...I shot the 3rivers tomamhawk the black widow a trinity a java man a bear and some others I dont remember. My advice your gonna have to try um all on. Some I thought I would like just didnt fit and others surprised me. If you want a bow quickly black widow and sky/belcher longhorn are awesome...otherwise a full on custom will take longer. Good luck...oh yeah the javaman bows were absolutly awesome too!

I love my Black Widow longbow, it's been my favorite for several years. If I were considering a different brand, I'd look into a Toelke Lynx 3-piece, a Cari-bow, or a Java-Man.

If you would like something built to fit you like a glove you may consider one of these... I do have a 45# Flatliner long bow in the sponsor classified ads that shoots like a 50# bow.
