Who makes a good longbow with a pistol grip locator in either one or two pieces?
Cari-bow, Liberty, Fox, Wallace, EagleWing, A&H, Trinity, and many others. Check out the sponsors listings.
I am not sure how to describe it. I am looking for a longbow with a grip like a medium recurve grip.
I'm not sure whether this link will work or not but give it a try.... if not.... go to my website and click on the discription " Flatliner Logbow" then click on the highlighted text "Traditional riser" or "Reflex Riser" that will give you details.

Huron Longbows -owner Terry Folts makes an awesome 3pc takedown longbow with a recurve style grip!
I also have a hybrid longbow that has a custom grip option.
See the TD Sasquatch Long bow, and then refer to the riser design page....
This is brand new.... The Sasquatch SS is a static tip recurve, and i have just come out with long bow limbs that fit on the same riser.

21st century use to, called the "Buddy Grip" don't know if Milton is still carrying this on or not.
LOVE the grip on my Cari-bow! Check out Abe's site.
Check out the Stalker Coyote......
Ken,
Go to Ron King's web site and look at the
Triple Crown. His site is Fox Archery.com.
I really liked my T/C because of the feature you are asking about. I sold mine because of the weight, but what a gorgeous bow he builds.
Rick
Check out Stalker Stickbows. I believe South makes what you're looking for as well.
We do them as well here is one. We also do a higher wrist one as well if needed. http://stjoeriverbows.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_5&products_id=297
Check out Legends Bows for sweet 3 piece.
Thanks guys. Lots of good leads here. I will be checking out the one piece longbows listed.
I'm another who would suggest Fox Archery. Ron Builds a great bow.

I could recommend Bodnik (Bearpaw) bows, like the Cayuga, but I know most of you guys from the US want to buy US made. That I give you credit for. Wish customs and shipping where a little cheaper... I would buy a Bigfoot Flatliner for sure!
Like this?

Check out NewWood longbows. They are a sponsor here. Their VanGuard model is like you describe.
Just for interests sake what do you think a longbow with a recurve style riser will do better than a recurve will...I second the Fox Archery idea but I would take a serious look at the Maverick...mine is very fast and as quiet as any longbow with the correct string on it
DDave
DDave-I DON'T think a longbow with a recurve style riser will do better than a recurve will.
The problem is that I.B.O. doesn't let you shoot a recurve in the longbow division.
Beachbowhunter- Yup. just like that.
Ken, I'm looking for the same thing. Maybe in a 3-piece. Anyone have more suggestions?
Beachbowhunter, who make that bow? It looks awesome!
Don't forget Big River. John makes a few just like you describe, for not so much money.

Kititinney Bows...Mike Robin...aka Bamboo. Makes a great one piece.

Great looking Bo'w Joe.
Trinity
There is a lot of fine bows here.
I got a chance to talk to Mike Robin and see his bows in action. He is on the right track.
For a one piece; I settled on a Border Harrier Royale GL.
It has the grip I am looking for with a shelf that is cut 5/16" past center, and a wait time of less than 10 weeks. I have one of his Black Douglas bows, and am very impressed with the performance. Hard to beat the delivery time.
Thanks for all the info. There sure are a lot of quality one piece longbows out there.
Border Hawk Hunter GL

Thanks. I made it myself. It was for a bow swap we did last year on the Bowyer's Bench forum...had to make my first lefty!
I just finished the ultimate pistol grip longbow for a friend. He wanted to match his old recurve grip :scared:
