I bought a Horne Combo with longbow limbs last week. Thought I'd let ya'll know my personal opinion of it.
Its a beautiful bow, cocobolo riser with purple heart strips and the limbs are maple core with bocote veneers. Beautiful, but the finish is just a little less than the Adcocks (but still darn nice). The grip is fantastic, best I have ever had in my little hands.
How does it shoot ? It is 1# heavier than my Adcock, yet feels 5# heavier during the draw. Whether its marked wrong or not, I dunno, thats just the way it felt. It has a touch of hand shock, more so than the Adcock, probably because of less mass in the riser. It does shoot though, darn well - very pointable, and quiet too.
Overall, a darn good longbow, I like it. However, the Adcock is smoother (maybe the tonkin cane limbs ??)and sweeter and once again beats the competition - Horne longbow for sale
.I have about decided that
Adcock
Longbows
Rule, but will that keep me from buying another longbow to try ? I doubt it, I still here Sley longbows are something special, and the Habu Death Adders, and what about the new Schafer longbows , and ......

Stealthy,
I see you still haven't found Tradbow Anonymous! Keep looking, please! I gave away my CM Firebird in lieu of my new (very slightly used)Fox longbow.
It is so easy to surf the net or scan the pages of TBM and drool over the broad range of bows and bowyers available. I'll try my best not to Horne in on your acyion! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
