Hey, RC. My favorite is my 62" Hill Country Wildcat. I really like the forward riser.

I also wish I had never sold my 62" Firefly.    :knothead:   That was just plain dumb!

Both are outstanding bows by stand-up bowyers.

There are many that have come and gone, but the ones that I still have are my Pronghorn and Horne Combo Hunter.  

But I do have to say that the Big Foot Obsidian that I just got is a real shooter and I can't wait to get my hands on the G.W. Flanagan that I have coming next week.

The black walnut has always been a favorite of mine.

Seems like a Pronghorn might fit your style in a way as far as 3 PC longbows go.Stream lined riser,longbow locator type grip and mild R and limbs that are narrow and deep core style.Strings up in what looks like a D shape.Kinda light in the hand.Just a thought to mull over while chasing pigs or sitting under a gobblers roost.

I know you know this, but don't let pretty cloudy your eyes RC. It's all in the grip.  Try it before you buy it.  There are TONS of great bows out there and they all kill great and you can manage with all of them, but there will always be that one special one.

BTW, I'm partial to old 3-piece Custom Bighorns when it comes to recurves but am just the opposite and currently have a hankering for "that perfect LB".

RC,

I am fickle and shoot a lot of different 2 & 3-piece longbows.  These are some of my favorites.  Even though my FFly bows aren't in this picture, they are really great as others have said.  

ACS CX and the Zipper SXT with foam/carbon limbs are probably the best performers. But my favorite is the Horne's bow (second from bottom) that I built with Mark during his 2-day bow school.

I can't wait till my Big Foot arrives to give it a try.  A lot of people also seem to love the Black Widow PL's lately.  Good luck in your decisoin.  

One thing for sure is that I pity whatever steps out in your way, as it will probably end up as dinner fare. :archer:

Loved my A&H ACS CX, it's about the only bow ive sold that i wish i had back and im a recurve guy.

Light in the hand, easy to point and shot some of the my highest 3D scores with it. For the life of me i dont know why i sold it, just had one of those wild hairs i guess.

Here's my Tiger Maple Pronghorn, before and after I refinished the riser and gave her a Beaver Tail grip. I'm about to snake one of the sets of limbs I have for her.

I'm sure you'd really like the grip.

Those Firefly's look nice!

I had a Slammer 3 piece that was a seriously wicked bow.It was the bottom one posted in the pics by Stinger.I loved it.It was a few pounds heavy for me though at my draw.So i sold it.It was a keeper bow though.

I like Morrisons Shawnee with Dakota limbs alot.Its a really versatile bow with all the riser lengths and limb lengths offered and you can get recurve limbs for it as well and hes coming out with his new MAX one limb as well soon for the Shawnee riser.Alot of grip options as well.

A friends ACS CX that was 66" shot really sweet for me.I liked it alot as well.

RC, one of my Favorites was a Lewis Hollow Hayestani. I should have never sold that one!   :banghead:   Another one is a Bob Lee. Hard to miss with either of these 2.   :archer2:

This as to be the best looking one... I never shot one, but I always liked the look of them Pronghorns! The only 3pc longbow I've shot is my Caribow Silver Fox... and it is for sale, just not for me!!   :confused:

My very first trad bow was a 3 piece TD Hornes Mountain Bow that was 50 lbs...hence my Trad Gang name. Unfortunatly I had an accident (my fault not the bows) with that bow and needed a new set of limbs made for it from Hornes.When the limbs came back the bow shot diffrent. Seems the limb design was changed and I didn't like the way it shot for me so I sold it here on Trad Gang to none other than RC. I always wonder what happened to that bow because RC sold it not long after he bought it from me. Any idea RC?

Since selling that bow I now shoot longbows but if I find a recurve I can afford then I'll get another.
