MOAB will out perform the TS III, I have owned both.  Still own the MOAB.  Shoots a heavy arrow well.

My MOAB is the smoothest drawing bow I own, probably due to the bamboo cores. The bow is the quietest and absolutely no bump at the shot what so ever. My only complaint is the throat of the grip is not quite deep enough. I am planning on reworking the grip. MOAB is an awesome unit!

Dwyer Dauntless is the best shooting longbow I have ever shot .

Another for the Dwyer Dauntless, all Dwyers for that matter, great shooters, craftsmanship is flawless.

Love my MOAB! I've been shooting it for about 6 years, along with some other bows, but I always go back to the MOAB!  I shoot the 62" version, and draw to 31", no problem.

I have owned a couple of Moabs over the years and they are a quick, quiet, smooth shooting bow. I don't remember any "bad manners" at all. I would own another without hestation.

The same can probably said about the Dwyer, but I have no personal experience with it.

Both are great bows but in my hands, I would give a slight edge to the MOAB.  I was just more accurate with it.

I had a Dauntless. It was one of the smoothest drawing bows I have had. The quality and craftsmanship was excellent. I sold due to dropping weight but in a heartbeat I would own another. The Dauntless for me liked a heavy arrow and hit with authority.

Dave and Sue are great folks,and their bows are excellent shooters.The Dauntless does shoot an arrow with authority.

I have a few moabs.....never shot a dauntless......but I've heard good things about them.

pretty sure you won't go wrong with the moab.

Thanks everyone. Terry I ordered the AD arrows after you allowed me to try one you had sitting around.The one I have has a Trad gang wrap on it with 4 shield cut feathers. They are cut 30" to BOP. Is that your current setup out of your MOAB?What length Moab are you shooting? I currently shoot 3 feathers but thinking about going to 4.I like the way it comes off of the bow. seems just as fast. I'm curretly shooting them at 30.5" BOP. What draw weight are you using with those arrows out of your bow?

Thanks

Love the MOAB... My favorite longbow bar none!

60" and close to a 30" draw... Not a problem...  Great bow!

Haven't shot a Dauntless, but again have heard good things...

Another vote for the MOAB. It is my go to bow. Very quick, quiet, and smooth. I have not shot a Dauntless.
