I just got in the lineup for a new Thunderstick III or MOAB, and I haven't decided what woods to use yet. Help a guy out and show me some wood combos to think about.
Thanks

Burnsie, I love the lines on the third bow from the left. What kind of bow is that?
Tulip and king woods.

Here is a MOAB I had when I was first trying out LB's. It was a little too heavy at the time. I wish I had it back now. I don't recall the woods right off, but I have the info on the bow for reference. I would want one just like it if I got another one.
If you want a real long LB like 64" or longer, smooth, reasonable speed, but don't care about top speed you will like a TS III. If you like a shorter LB with more speed the MOAB is the ticket.
