Default So what kinda longbows do you guys like?

It was getting rather crowded in the trad forum with all the X-bowers in there, so I figured I would post here.

Default RE: So what kinda longbows do you guys like?

Ilike em all!! I like the mechanics of the compounds along w/ the engineering that never seems to reach it's limits [if there are any] and especially am fascinated by the stick bows. Had a guy here w/ a two piece osage orange he made himself along w/ his own arrows and the neatest long arrow quiver I ever saw; on a bear hunt. Somehow or other, his quiver rode vertically on his back and the arrows came out a small slot on the bottom. I saw a "Black Widow" at a trad 3-D shoot I got invited to [w/ xbow] here in Ar and like to cried cause I couldn't have one, lol. What's your favorite? And, welcome to our forum!!

So you are more of a reflex/deflex longbow person? What kinda string do you like on your longbows.

My fav. is longbow of course. Smoother draw. Just got a awesome osage longbow with snakeskins and elk sinew backing with elk hoof tips. But I also have a few recurves.

Thanks, we just need to draw in the other trad archers to this page. That way, all the X-bowers can use the trad page to debate.

I only shoot xbows now. I used to shoot a long bow as a kid and a recurve hunting before compounds came out, don't even remember the name of it. I'm still paying for the two shots I took this w/e, lol, but damm, it was nice!
