Title: Pros - Cons Hornes Combo Longbow
Post by: pktm on March 01, 2009, 12:34:00 PM
I looking at picking one up. What I'm really interested is how they compare to a Hill longbow. How is the draw, I find my Hills very smooth. It's the takedown factor that has me looking into this bow. Thanks in advance.

I got to look at and shoot a bunch of Horne's bows at a couple of the Texas State Longbow shoots and I was very impressed both with his bows and with the bowyer.  Both are very classy.

Have you had a chance to shoot the bow you are looking at or is this an online type deal?  I would expect that the Horne will be smoother than your Hill.  The Hill will probably pull as smooth but on release, the Horne will feel softer.

They're a Great Bow, quick enough & Quiet, the grip is the Best I've found for me & the xtra weight with the 3 pc. T/D is very stable, untrung you can see the R/D really good, strung up, has the "D" shape ... Hope this helps ... Also, mine has the HardRock Maple Core in the Limbs ...
