Help me got the bug again and was looking at Ron fox triple crown longbow. Any body shoot one. Like the riser and grip. Plus it's d shape when strung.
All the good stuff you hear is true....
Ron King and his wife Debby are first rate and build absolutely beautiful bows. I sold my TC recently because the weight had gotten too much for these old shoulders. If you decide to buy one you won't be disappointed.

I love my TC after I modified the grip to a low wrist. I'm a locator grip kind of person, and almost sold my TC because I just couldn't get use to the grip. I ended up taking a sander to it and making a low wrist out of it myself.
If you decide to order one, I would recommend taking a carful look at the stock grip that usually comes with the Triple Crown. It's a high wrist with a thumb rest.
But the cast of this bow is phenomenal.
Hey Bruce . You took a sander to it Yikes,,, how does it compare to your whip?
The Triple Crown IMHO is the finest purpose built competition longbow currently being offered on the world stage. Shoots like a dream! Not all like the recurve grip, but I for one understand what Ron was trying to achieve with this bow. The 70" which I owned had the riser section length of a Olympic recurve and was so butter smooth and balanced in the hand. I had the carbon model and at the light 40@28 pounds it was still a zipper. Craftsmanship was absolutely world class. If you use the search feature on Pow Wow and search 'triple crown' you'll see pics of the one I had. Zebrawood riser, boo cores with carbon and stunning yew limbs. Ron gets some really crazy pretty woods. And you gotta love that D shape.
If I acquire another someday about 50@28 would make me keep it forever.
Fox bows are tops. I used to own a Triple Crown -- fine bow, but I like the Royal Crown even better. I currently own a Royal Crown and a Breed.
Can't go wrong.

Going to get a new to me triple crown from tradgangers Tom Cunningham. 64inch 50@28. Coco bola and zebra riser . Zebra limbs. Tradgangers are the best. And thank you Tom .
It's a super bow, and I hate longbows. A guy here had one, coco and bamboo limbs, I think. Beautiful, great shooter (for people who like longbows). I had two of the original Fox recurves before R. King was in the picture and thought they were as good as any bows I've owned, I was just younger and dumber and got them far heavier than I should have. It is probably the bow I'd buy if I were ever to get a longbow.
Congrats Dan!
The one I had was one of the all time prettiest and most well crafted bows I have ever laid hands on. Alas 40# at my draw was not enough to make me keep it as I am foremost a hunter and not a competitive 3D or field archery shooter.
About the craziest zebrawood I have ever seen:

Man that's nice chuck. Can't wait for my to come in. Looks like it very tolerant of arrow spine. I plan on using woods or gold tips. 50@28.
The triple crown is one that I haven't got my hands on yet but if they shoot anything like my royal it will be awesome.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience when it came to my first custom made bow . Ron is a gifted bowyer
Clint
A premiere bow.
I have a Royal, one of the nicest finest bows I have ever had. It is a 60" 55#@28". Kind of wish it were just a few pounds lighter as I age.
