Hi all,
So I'm looking to test the longbow waters. I have a top notch 54# at 28 recurve which I will keep for my hunting etc. But recently I've developed an appreciation for r/d longbows. I don't want to spend another nine hundred bucks on one but I don't really want to get a mass produced. I pull 29.5 but I like the 60inch length and for sure I want a chunky handle was thinking 40 pounds or so at 28 so about 44 at my draw just to keep in shape.
Soooooo, I was wondering if there is mug out there at that price? There seems to be a tonne of longbow shooters on here. How will it compare to my recurve... Oh and I shoot a high wrist grip, is that going to cause me headaches?
Check out Don Dow
Omega longbows. You can get a u finish for less then all that or a complete for like $300 I believe. These bows are all performance and have a pretty big fallowing on archerytalk. Love mine and the bowyer kegan is just great to deal with.
Don Dow.
I'm going to 3rd Don Dow. I've had one in the past and just ordered another. At $335 it's probably one of the best values out there. Plus, very quick turn around.
And check out the classified ads here...the performance will be equivalent...
We have a discount Cyclone longbow in the shop. Like new but only $450. 44#@28" 64" Gray Actionwood with black glass over bamboo limbs.It has been to a few shows with us and I shot a 3D tournament with it. Looks like new. It can be viewed on our website and our Facebook. Take a look.
Probably should have mentioned I'm a lefty (well left eyed anyway) I've seen a few incredible deals pop up on the classifieds but they all seem to be on the wrong side! I checked out don Dow and they looked pretty nice indeed...
Did anyone mention Don Dow?
New wood they are a sponsor here
Maddog. More options than anyone for the price.
Lots of lefty bows show up on the classifieds...Of all my bows, only 3 were not purchased off tradgang classifieds.

Omega and Dow both great bows. Don't lose heart on the classifieds, I'm a lefty and I love the classifieds. Our bows are harder to sell and there arent as many choices, but sometimes you can get a way better deal on a bow than if it was a righty for those very reasons. I have a couple bows you'd go cross eyed if I told you what I paid for them vs. new cause they're lefties. Lefties rule!
I've always had trouble with longbow grips. I am still looking for a longbow that I shoot well. Had a dauntless that I loved but just couldn't stop fighting the low grip. Man it was an awesome bow. Fast, quiet, dead in the hand, and weighed nothing.
Check leftiesrus.com. Barry is a honest man to deal with. All lefty bows.
Don Dows web site info??
Go to the classifieds, you will get the best value for your buck there.
Leftiesrus.com has a 60" 48# Kanati. Go check it out. Lots of other nice bows as well.
May want to check out New Wood Bows. I shot one at K-Zoo and it shot great. Base price is $415.00
No website, but you can search Powwow to see pictures and read more about them. The vision is his mild R/D bow. I have a 66" 52# @ 28" bow. It's a nice bow.
