RE: So many bows, so little time...
the massie longbow was fine. Jeff massie is a fine fellow to talk to. The bow was just not what I wanted.
Crusaders are reasonably priced, perform well and well made.
It wouldn' t be fair of me to compare bows on an open forum. If you have specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.

John,
You could always get down to basics like I do. The first two trad bows I bought I gave to my son and son-in-law when I bought three and four, respectively. When I bought four, I sold three. I have now bought no. 5, a Black Thunder, and I' m going to sell no. 4, a seven month old Crusader.
I can' t justify more than one bow, until I start building them myself!!
