Pick top 5 long bows $$ no object
 

If you had the ability to order 5 of the best long bows made, what would you choose? Don't worry about money, LBR and HuntingNet would give it to you<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>..lol.

You bet--ya'll pretend to order and I will pretend to pay for them! lol

In all honesty, my favorite of all the longbows I have shot is the Crusader. I have seen bows that were a lot fancier, and bows that cost a lot more, but to date it is my favorite. Second and third would be a Marriah by Ric Anderson and one of Roy Hall's one-piece longbows, both with really fancy woods, then a duplicate set with plain woods to actually use (don't want to get the fancy ones all dinged up). I can't think of any others that I have shot that I would list--there are some I haven't shot that I want to give a whirl though.

Long Bows Rule!

My experience is limited to these:
Saxon Hawk
Wes Wallace Royal
Massie Longhorn
Horne
Roy Hall's LB
All excellent+ in both quality and performance. A good deal of variety in design.

As I don't get out much <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I've only shot 2 different longbows. The first one, a Jerry Hill, almost scared me away from lb's for ever. So my experience is limited to bows made across the moat by PD. Lots of pretty ones out there that I'd like to try though!

In no particular order:

Saxon Mongoose
Howard Hill Wesley Special
Bill Stewart Multicam (technically a hybrid, I guess)
Massey Longhorn
And another Massey Longhorn <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Forgot to list the bows I shot. I'm not the long bow expert like LBR so my experience is limited. I own the following and will list in the order I shoot best.

Chek Mate Crusader 64&quot;
Sovereign Sonoran 65&quot;
Gharing Cornplanter 64&quot;
Tomohawk Thunderstorm 64&quot;


Internature Viper 68&quot; (distant 4th)
