Title: Show me your bows!
Post by: BDann on September 18, 2009, 08:38:00 PM
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?

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.
