Don't overlook Stalker bows. I am a recurve shooter but won one of South's 3 piece take down longbows. It has a recurve riser and shoots lights out. At hunting distances it stands right up to my DAS ILF with border limbs. Very fast, stable, quiet and accurate. It is also beautiful to look at.

Check out DWYER LONGBOWS, they have an Endeavor that is awesome. 58"  I had a Defiant Longbow I wish I had not sold. Great people to work with.

I'd be very interested in building you a bow or a blank you can finish yourself.  I notice you live not too far up the road.  I'm close to Pinehurst in the little community of 7 Lakes.
