I am in search of a 1 piece longbow (USED) at or under the $500 range. I need to it abide by the Texas Longbow Championship rules (can't be over 1 1/8" 3" above the shelf or 1.5" 6" below the shelf).
I am open to any bow. I would want it to be at least 64" long.
I have looked into and located a few Holm-Made bows, a JD Berry bow, BAMA Hunters, Whippenstick, Greatnorthern Brush Bow and am open to any that are comparable to these.
This bow will be primarily shot with wood arrows at tournaments. I consider speed important, especially when shooting targets.
Any help from you guys opinions would be VERY helpful!
Check out the Toelke Super D. I would think you could get a used one for that
Omega Imperial. Way under $500
I would call/contact McBroom Custom Bow Company (a TG Sponsor). I don't know what his turn around is, or what he's got in stock, but the prices start at $425. They look like good bows, and you could add $30 for tip overlays and still be under the $500 mark for a brand new bow. Just my $.02 worth...
I think I found just what you are looking for Daniel! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Pronghorn. I bet you can find a used one in that mark.
I would spend some time checking out what the current winners are shooting, since they have already done a lot of the research for you...in the long run it is your shooting ability that will make the big difference, not your equipment

Bisch,
I will definitely have to consider that one. It will just give me another chance to compete again you and Rusty.
I've had quite a few one piece custom longbows and recently picked up a new Treadway Black Swamp longbow for 525$. I know a lot of its personal preference but this bow shoots as well or better as bows I've had that cost nearly twice as much. The quality and finish of these bows are first class and you would be hard pressed to meet a nicer guy. If you don't like it he will let you send it back for a full refund.
As evidenced by the results of last weekend, it is obvious that Rusty is who you would be gunning for!
Good luck finding yourself a new stick.

Omega Imperial!
I'll second RMS. Give them a call and see what they have in stock.

you check out mad dog bows
What poundage are you looking for? Not sure if it meets those specs but I have a Liberty Contender I've been thinking about parting with.
NEW WOOD Longbows, he is a sponsor they are a great longbow for around $500.
Holm-Made "Goshawk"
I am partial to HHA bows and Northern Mist. Also, JD Berry would be nice. These would be recommendations that I am familiar with.
Omega longbows are worth a look. Kegan is a nice bowyer to deal with, makes a fast bow at a good price. You would probably be interested in the Imperial model.
take a long hard look at trinity longbows , they come in around 470 dollars and cover all bases.
edward is a great guy to boot as well.
I am fairly certain that the Bear Montana would foot the bill for you. I would have to go out and measure mine. Right around $350 brand new and I don't think you would find anything to complain about. The only complaints I've heard were from the critters I've had in front of me that I wanted to eat. ALL have joined me for meals!
That said, Edward from Trinity and I are working out a deal at this time!
x2 on the New Wood longbow. Great bows.
thank you for all the replies fellas. I have been contacting a few people with their bows for sale. I believe I have found what I want.
Thunderstick mag great bow at $525.00. Take a look you won't be disappointed.

See how easy it is to find "the best longbow"? :D
I hope these guys that said NewWoods are right :jumper:
My Liberty Classic is one of the smoothest, easiest bows to draw. It is noticeable when compared to other comprable weighted bows. I think it would be a good choice for Your needs.
Check out Allen's web page and you will see some of his accomplishments at tournament archery.
You could buy one of his bows and stay under budget especially if used.
Measured my Liberty Contender last night, and it would meet your requirements. 64" 51# @ 28", Coco riser, with all Yew limbs, and clear glass.
Look up Tom Deputy he is a Texas Bowyer and I believe he makes his bow to meet Texas longbow rules.
