Hi,
Im looking to buy my first new longbow, and im looking for some economical options. Ive been scouring the classifieds, but im looking for more like the Omega line of bows.
$235 for the complete. Are there any more bows of this quality in this price range that im missing?
Thanks
Stik bows by don dow are high quality and run around 289 new with black glass. I would seriously look at them.
Sorry, can't help you with your question but did want to comment on your handle. I wonder how many people even recognize the name DB Cooper? One of those mysteries that will likely never be discovered.
Definitely look at Don Dow. The little extra is very much worth it. IMO, pound for pound the best bow for the money.
X3 on Don Dow. I have a 54" and it is a quick, quiet little bow. You will not be disapointed.
So where is all the money Mr. Cooper?????
I would go with Kegans Omega myself if your in the market for a hybrid. Very radical limbs, but super bow, but it def does not have a longbow look
In the Columbia river.
If the poster had it he would be buying something totally different!
Haha. Or i wouldnt be making large purchases. :smileystooges:
Ill look at the Don Dow bows.
Edit: Just looked, im more interested in the hybrid design. Thanks though. Any other ideas?
Don Dow is one of the best I have shot no matter what the price range.
Rob
His bows are hybrid designs. I don't understand your post.
Mad dog. Sponsor here. I hear good things and have one on order
Mike at Mad Dog makes some amazing bows. The other bow I would look at would be a Bear Montana Longbow. For around $300 it is a great performer and is pretty easy on the eyes as well.
IF you are DB COOPER why are you quibbling over money ?? you should have a lot LOL !!!!
Maddog, my wife and son have Maddog's. My wife's was $215.00 new.
There ain't no flies on a Mad Dog.
Had a Dow, and you can't go wrong there either.

I agree with Doc.
The "Real DB Copper" wouldn't be concerned with buying an economical bow.... then again he might have been a poor investor. :biglaugh:
sorry.... couldn't resist that.
Whisperstik Voodoo is a great bow for the value.

hard the beat Kegan's Omega. my 40#er shoots heavier arrows better than my 50# Fox that cost 4 times as much. Fox is a sharper looking bow but the Omega out performs it.
Haha, i didnt think my handle would generate so much interest!
Thanks for all the good leads, i have some serious research to do!
"Herwaybows" by Kevin Brown, or "Crooked Stik" by Mike Miller
I was in the same spot a week or so ago. Looked at a ton of wood before I went with the Omega, I think it's one of the best values on the market...
I have a Maddog and a new one on order. He is the way to go, great bows at a great cost! At my last shoot, many other shooters were interested in my Maddog MUTT.
Those Omegas look nice. I once had a Don Dow longbow, still regret selling it.
Maddog's are excellent bows,too.
Kurt, your longbow is almost done.
Well DB After you have all these leads don't "BAIL OUT" on it now . LOL
Get you a madddog bro. You will be very glad you did. I like the dow stick too, but to me there is no comparision. God Bless
Since I bought a Greatree Solo Black 68" longbow my customs have been gathering dust. For less than $150 new I figured it would be a good "beater" bow but has quickly become my favorite bow to shoot. I've shot a lot of longbows and this one shoots just as nice as any I've tried.
