I am in a quest for ultimate 3 piece longbow and now I am between Cari-bow Silver fox, Tall tines and Pronghorn longbows.
What`s Your favorite 3pcs longbow and which one would You chose if funds would not be an issue?
Thanks

Draw straws,all 3 are great bows but I am partial to Cari-bow

Cari-bow Silverfox is by far my favorite. Smooth fast stable and quiet.

They are all great bows. It boils down to what you like,feel,grip, etc. My search led me to the A&H ACS in a 3 pc and that led me to the same in a 2 pc.

I haven't shot Cari-bow Silverfox, but I own a Peregrine . . . very fine bow.

I also own a Leon Stewart take-down Slammer.  It is a very smooth and fine bow.  Might be worth a look.

I have owned a Tall Tines and own Pronghorns.  For me the smaller mass riser and grip of the Pronghorn fits me better than the heavier mass of the Tall Tines.

I really, really, like Pronghorns.

I have 5 Morrison Shawnees, they are the fastest and best shooting 3 piece bows I have found. Try one.

Not on your list, but I am partial to Neil Jacobsen at Bear's Paw. His three piece Carbon Hunter is state of the art and NEIL IS A MASTER IN THE CRAFT, AN HONEST TO GOODNESS HUNTING/SHOOTING MACHINE AND THE MOST SINCERE GUY OUT THERE. I have spent lots of money with him and it has been worth every penny. Before you commit to something else (I own Herb Meland bows as well--great man) call Neil. It will be well worth your time.

Silver Fox for me or Schafer, have not shot the Pronghorn or Tall Tines longbows.

Take a look at Legends long bow the cyclone that's the best long bow I've had my hands on . fast and smooth recently I shoot a high $ long bow and I like the Cyclone better.

I have never seen a 3 piece longbow that I could get past the looks of but I have shot a few. When Dan Toelke started making his 3 piece Lynx he sent me one to shoot at some 3d shoots and I had the bow for a couple of months. It has a relatively small riser and like all of Dan's bows was smooth-drawing, dead in the hand stable, and was the quietest 3 piece bow I've ever shot or heard shot. It was beautifully crafted and has the benefit of available recurve limbs that make an absolute jewel of a t.d. recurve.

For me it's a toss with my A&H ACS longbow,my Zipper ZSR with carbon&foam limbs and my Dryad Orion.They are all good shooting bows.

Buy an A&H ACS CX and you can forget the rest.   :archer2:

I own a silver fox and have shot a few pronghorns and have held a tall tines. All three feel different in the hand. It's all going to depend on the grip style you like. Any of the three would be great choices. If you get the chance try to shoot any of the choices you listed.
