I was enjoying reading about everyones favorite bows. Some I had to look up because I had never even heard of. Sad that It got de-railed in such a manner. I see growth.


Rob

That is precisely why I asked the question. You get to hear about bows you never heard of before, and sometimes get to see pics of super nice bows, and gives you new boyers to look at and bows to admire. [/b]

then your thread would have been way better served if you postulated it thataway.  ya know, those ubiquitous "hey gang, what bow ya like best!" kinda threads.

Zipper Sxt then a Big Jim Thunderchild. Im wanting to try the Zipper nitro. Good luck. God bless.

Once again, you are missing the point Rob. I did not ask what is THE best. I asked what is the best for others in THEIR opinion for THEM.  I was interested in what others like for the several reasons I posted above.

If that strikes you the wrong way........tough. If you don't like the thread you don't have to post in it and ruin it.

Several people enjoyed the thread and reading about people's favorite bows, so there is obviously a place for this thread.

And it may be a no brainer, but it's also irrelevant in this thread and I didn't say one way or the other about it.

Not sure why you and a couple others had to turn a perfectly enjoyable thread into a disaster.

I like reading folks opinions of an ultimate bow. And things do get off topic.

I like growth, but rain creates growth, I guess.

How 'bout some sunshine on this thread

Interested in some opinions. I know everyone has different likes, but I am curious.

What do you consider the ULTIMATE longbow and why?

Just to refresh, this was my original post

Nowhere does it say tell me what to buy, or what's the best ever or blah blah blah

It says I am interested in what others consider the ultimate longbow and why..... .........pretty simple I think

You are right Bud,
Im done

I understood the original post. If someone doesn't agree with the thread, they don't need to involve themselves in it.

This is a fun thread nonetheless and interesting. Everyone DOES have a specific bow that they feel is the best for them, and that is the goal of this thread i believe; to find out WHAT that bow is and WHY it is that way for THAT person.

Gives the rest of us some bows to check out and say "Hey I never thought of that one before."

Just everyone remember:

"Expect to be respected if you decide to join the gang, because the rule of respect is held highest of the few rules that apply. Tradgang.com has a zero tolerance for disrespect directed to anyone. If you want to disagree, then please do so in an adult manner. Debate is healthy, as one sword sharpens another, but it must be done in an honorable fashion."

It's allllll good.    :cool:

Ok then I consider the ultimate longbow The Mohawk Sparrowhawk.Why? Very well made , reasonable price, very smooth drawing , very quiet on release ,very quick, and very easy to tune and shoot with accuracy. How's that?

Perfect    

I'm glad you like it, I've heard good things about them    

Great thread!

I have read so many valid opnions on what the "Ultimate Longbow" means to each individual.

It's a shame that some folks gotta add drama to a simple and fun thread. The world is full of whiners and complainers. I feel sorry for those folks.

For me, I have found that I have two ultimate styles of longbows. I love the Hill Style with a little R/D. And, the Scynthian or Mongloian style.  

Who'd a thunk that?

I'm slowly finding out what I like. Tradgang needs a bus that drives cross country stopping at members houses and shooting bows.
I think after one trip I would have a pretty good idea what my ultimate is. Now if I could only get some time off.
