Post by: GingivitisKahn on March 28, 2011, 06:48:00 AM: Have a look at BamaBows Hunter. That's a nice new one in your price range.

You might also want to take a look at the classifieds as well. Maybe you could pick up a used Hill or something.

+1 and you get a lot of custom options for the money. Nate's a great guy.

The Hunter model started my longbow addiction.

Nate makes really nice shooting good looking bows.

They are well worth looking into.

God bless,Mudd

Post by: Friend on March 28, 2011, 12:14:00 PM: Classifieds!!!!!!!!!

Just last week an extremely nice Mohawk T/D was posted for $425(Great buy!). Have seen single piece Mohawks recently that were cheaper.

Have seen Montana's down to $175 - $200.

Exude a little patience and the classified's will produce.

Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: Pack on March 28, 2011, 12:29:00 PM: I believe Mohawks are one of the best values and best bows on the market.
Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: on March 28, 2011, 12:54:00 PM: There are a few great Hill-style bows out there. I have a HHill.

For more of a flatbow you should check out Apex Predator.

Marty makes a popular bow called the Cumberland. A handsome string follow.

His bows come highly recommended.

Post by: treetoppredator on March 28, 2011, 01:20:00 PM: I have a Martin "stick",(D-shaped bow) shoots good, very quiet bow, lightest bow I've ever held. It's what I learned to shoot trad with. Been thinking of parting with it, just do not use it anymore since I've bought a few more bows. Other than this one bow I haven't any experience with D-shape bows.

Post by: Chaz on March 28, 2011, 01:44:00 PM: thanks guys - I have a Dry Ridge Longbow and love it ! /just always wanted a flatbow or D-shape to add to my addiction! :)
Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: George Vernon on March 29, 2011, 11:20:00 AM: Take a look at the different models from Northern Mist. Might be a bit above $400, but Steve Turey makes a great bow.

Post by: Red Beastmaster on March 29, 2011, 11:35:00 AM: I bought a Greatree Solo Black longbow from 3Rivers recently and am blown away with the bow! I got it to use as a cheap "beater" for stumping and hunting groundhogs, etc. But it quickly has been upgraded to one of my better bows I ever owned.

My custom recurve is getting dusty since I got this bow. I shoot it really well and can't find a thing wrong with it.

3Rivers has them on sale right now for $144.

Post by: Leland on March 29, 2011, 06:17:00 PM: Dwyer's Defiant is a D shaped flatbow,that's a great shooting bow.I have a 60" that works great in blinds and tight spots you have to sometimes crawl into.Dave and Sue are great folks to deal with.

Post by: Doug in MN on March 29, 2011, 08:28:00 PM: Big River flatbow or D shaped longbow, John McDonald he does not have a web site. They are great bows.

Yellowstone Bows, Rich also makes a great bow at a very good price. He does have a web site.

Post by: ron w on March 30, 2011, 04:28:00 PM: I have 2 Mahaskas, I think think you will like one!
Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: jdemoya on March 30, 2011, 10:14:00 PM: Renegade flatbow by Yellostone bows. Shoots hard and fast. Easy drawing and no hand shock. Rich has the best finished bows on the market. Good guy too.

God bless,

José

Post by: Roots on March 31, 2011, 07:18:00 AM: St-Joe river longbow, d-shaped, shorter working limbs.
Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: J. Oles on March 31, 2011, 08:48:00 AM: I've gotta go with Northern Mist also,

For me they are the best shooting D shaped bows I've found.

Steve also makes a great flat bow called the Huron.

Check him out!
Title: Re: D Shape longbows and Flatbows
Post by: D. Key on March 31, 2011, 08:53:00 AM: Dan Toelke Whip would be my choice. It has just a hint of R/D but not much at all, more like a "D". Whisper quiet and a hard hitter.
