Title: What is your Favorite "Hybrid" longbow(one piece)
Post by: ken denton on July 01, 2008, 08:33:00 PM
When you go to pick up your favorite "hybrid" one piece longbow to go hunting, which "one" do you pick up? I mean the one you shoot broadheads with!!! and why!

Toelke Whip.  Why?  Because it just fits.  Grip is perfect for me and that is most important...Mike

Would a Thunderstick MOAB be considered a hybrid? If so, it get's my vote.
Title: Re: What is your Favorite "Hybrid" longbow(one piece)
Post by: Fletcher on July 01, 2008, 10:05:00 PM
Yeah, Jason, I'd call a MOAB a hybrid, and a very good one, too.  I'm still liking my Selway/Centaur Lil Mag, 58", 54 lb @ 26".  The grip fits me very well, it's stable and easy to shoot, relatively quiet and fast even at 11 gr/lb.

newly traded for a Cari-bow Featherhorn that is showing up to be my best one-piece longBow. Shoots a variety of weights and very forgiving.  ( for a 3 piece love them Pronghorns, more mass weight in handle)

My 58 inch BlackCreek Banshee. You can pay a lot more for a bow but in my opinion not end up with a lot more bow. For the money you can't beat Jim Gaineys BlackCreek bows.

Let's see.  In the last year I have owned, shot, and hunted with the following hybrid bows:

Hummingbird Alpha-Male, 62" 50@28
Treadway takedown, 58" 49@28
Kohannah Fury Longbow, 62" 49@28
Martin Savannah, 62" 50@28

My favorite, go-to bow of this style is........................................................


The lowly, so called "production" Savannah from Martin Archery.

Matlock Predator X Longbows. Fast and smooth, these bows are awesome. Somewhat overlooked in my opinion. Milt Beens at Wildcat Canyon Archery introduced me to these bows and they just fit right to me. If my BW PL III wasn't a takedown, it would definately qualify. Great Bows!

Post by: WildmanSC on July 02, 2008, 12:35:00 PM
I can't pick just one.  It comes down to two that I let get away from me.  A 58", 48#@28" Dale Stahl hybrid longbow, Bocote riser, actionboo lams and Bocote veneers.  The second was a Fox Royal Crown, Cocobolo riser, Actionboo laminations, 62" and I don't recall the draw weight, but I think it, too, was 48#@28".

An old Rasmussen Flatbow.  It fits me well and shoots where I point it.

I only have one LB also and it happens to be a Savannah like yours...#50@28.  I shot some Beman 400's last night with brass inserts and 200 grain field points and it was thumping them in there.  

for the most part I have been using Beman 500's with 145 gr.

My favorite is my current bow, a 56" 48# Lost Creek hybrid longbow.  Blistering fast, whisper quiet, and more accurate than I am.  The Treadway longbows and RER Vortex longbows are also very good hybrids.
