Ok the verdict is in and it seems i shoot longbows way better then curves . So i was just curious what few bows are the best of the best for 3 piece take downs?

There isn't one. It's totally subjective. One guy will shoot a bow and loves it and can't miss with it. Another guy, same skill level, can't hit a barn door with it.

Gotta try them till you find out what tickles your fancy.

That being said, I've found I like my Pronghorn best of the ones I've tried.

Have fun searching! Try to make some shoots, or get to a club with Trad shooters so you can try them before you buy. If you can't do that, buying used can work well too. If one doesn't fit you, sell it and try again till you find the 'ONE'. Good Luck!

I have heard nothing but good about those Pronghorns. I have never shot one,maybe someday.
I like my ILF longbow system alot though.

Which ever U shoot the best.

Same i actually put this post up with the pronghorn in mind... Sounds like a lot of people really like those things... darn it... Looks like i know what bows coming to my rack soon.

Alright this has been around and around. There are tons of great bows out there. In all honesty I have shot way way more good ones than bad ones. Find one that fits you and you will have the best one made for you.


On a side note. I have five pronghorns and there are a few here who make my collection look dismal.

Try a few out to see what you like. Lots of good ones out there.

I do prefer Pronghorns also. I only have 8 Pronghorn recurves, and 7 Pronghorn longbows, with another coming next week to join the herd. I still want a 62" one piece, then I swear I'm done buying bows. (ya right!)

Lotsa' good ones out there; I happen to like my A&H ACS CX's

There are so many to choose from that you can't go wrong. My personal fav is a Morrison ILF riser with Sky ILF longbow limbs.

Black Canyon - So Far............

I like my Stalker. Great grip and very smooth.

Pretty subjective, but I luv my A&H ACS and Morrison mini 13 ILF with Bobs longbow limbs!

It is very subjective. My first 3 piece longbow, a Bob Lee Natural.

One I shot that I really like was the Firefly by Jim Jones.

My good friend has a Route 66 Low wrist grip, and it was a very smooth and quick bow.

I know there are lots of them out there... Like has been said the more you can shoot the better.

Me too!  

Mee too.  

here is the thing about longbows....grip grip grip.....then everything elese comes second.


so determine what grip you want and go after it....


i will give the head nod for RER, Hummingbird, Thunderhorn, Lewis Hollow, Promghorn, ACS, Morrison....in no order.

I'll have to go along with my A&H CX also. Good luck and enjoy trying them all.

I had a Bob Lee that was sweet.I wish I still had it.g
