Post by: tyee on January 14, 2011, 09:45:00 PM
What do you think of these craftmanship, speed, easy of tuning, foregiveness, and how it twangs. loud or silent, interested in the 3 piece longbow
but any info on bowyer would be helpful thanks

Neil, is a very good guy! I have one of his one piece longbows. It's a 62" @ 60# @ 28". It's not bad at all, I've shot smoother ones but still enjoyed his as well. It's dead in the hand & I shot a 500grn arrow out of it & was plenty quiet!

 I still have the bow today, considered selling it at one time!

Neil, is a great guy, builds a super bow. I have 3 recurves and four sets of limbs. Shot a longbow of his and really enjoyed it. The carbon option on the limbs takes out all the twang and vibration. Worth the money, no doubt.

I havent shot one but I absolutely love the looks of his risers. Big and meaty like a Tip, but with finger grooves...!

I do not own one but I have shot a couple that a friend of mine owns.  Very nice bows.  Shoot very hard.  And super smooth.  He told that he has excellent service and I could see the quality.

I see he has started dabbling with his own ILF designs.

I absolutely love his take down longbow. Before I got his longbow I had four other bows. I now have one. The finger grooves on his riser make a world of difference for me. Quiet and dead in the hand.
