Title: Need reccomendations on inexpensive 3 piece longbow
Post by: shedhunta on December 06, 2012, 11:16:00 AM
I have a friend looking to get into traditional archery and he has his heart set on a 3 piece longbow non ILF.  Other than going used where can he look for the least expensive 3 piece.  He is a short draw and would want 60" or 58".  I have a $1000 custom 3 piece on the way and he is looking to spend less than half of that if possible.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you

Maddog. Here is one he made me. Very reasonable prices. Less than $400 I believe.

I'll second Legends bows, they've got a gray actionwood/black glass cyclone on their site right now for under 500 if i remember right. That's one heck of a great price considering all the great reviews that model is getting lately on this site.

Speaking of an RER Privateer has one listed right now in mint condition in the classifieds and he has a very good price on it and it's near new..It's a good weight for a beginner at 42# and 64" 3 piece longbow...It's also a looker...

Sarrel's archery is having a big discount Christmas sale.  He makes one of the sweetest 3pc takedown longbows....the Blueridge.  He's in your friends price range.

X2 on the Legends Cyclone long bow. I have shot one of their Cyclones and it is an excellent value. Respectable performance, very smooth and accurate.
