Indiana-jim · June 12, 2011, 08:19:00 PM

hey guys. Just got back from cloverdale and what a great time(my first time). Got to shoot my first striker bow and just loved it but it was the first 3 piece longbow ive shoot. Just like to hear what other 3 pieces i should try out before making my decision. any advice would be welcome. Thanks Jim

I own a couple great plains 3 pc take downs and they are great shooting solid bows and have been around for years. Just shot a Sky 3 pc longbow not too long ago and that is also a fine shooting longbow with alot of adjustment. It will be one of my next bows. Dino

Jim, I checked out the new Robertson 3 pc. at Cloverdale. It was one of the "eco" models....no frills but it was a great looking little bow! The grip is what impressed me the most-just melted into my hand. Right at $600 and it is made by one (two) of the premier bowyers in the world! Good luck on your "bow" hunt! Mike

Just sold a Bear's Paw 3 piece longbow. Shoots great, just couldn't get comfortable with the handle

I would check a Pronghorn out.

I'm with Shedrock on this one, Pronghorn. Awesome bows.

I had an RER LX. It was a fantastic shooting and handling bow. Very well made. Everything was top notch. LoweBow has it now, sniff lol. I highly suggest you check out the RER.

A Jim Jones Firefly gets my vote.

I would check out the Dan Toelke's 3 piece from Montana Longbows. There was a very recent post on them in Pow Wow. Fast, quiet, and awesome looking bows.

Stalker by South Cox. Great grip, workmanship, and great shooters. He is a sponsor here also. Good luck.

TexasStick81 · June 12, 2011, 10:20:00 PM

I'd look at any of the Horne 3 piece t/d's

Take a look at a Sarrels... I've been really impressed with his bows.

Jack Guard · June 12, 2011, 10:36:00 PM

I have only shot a few but so far my favorite is a Randy Morin "The High-Breed".

I'll second the Sarrels Blueridge. It is my go-to bow. As a matter of fact, it is going to Africa with me in 13 days.
