I'm a Tomahawk fan myself. They are a little bit on the high end of the market as far as price but they shoot great!

I'd say a Proghorn, super stable, super accurate and plenty quick.

But you can get a used Robertson on the Classifieds for under $200 lately!  Sorry, but you cant beat that.

Liberty Edge is a great longbow.  Ken

Wes Wallace, Robertson Stykbow, or 21st Century.

A Bear Montana wins!~
Alot of other bows posted are good but some are pricey.
A Montana is a heck of a bow for the price. I got my first whitetail with one when I was seeing if this trad stuff was for me.

Kohannah Fury, Mike Treadway, Holm-made,Don Dow, Martin Savanah, these are all excellent and won't break the bank.

How much money are we talking about?

Bamabows Hunter Expedition at  www.bamabows.com

Omega longbows,  havnt shot a RD longbow that  fire an arrow as fast and flat as this one.

I would have to go with Holmmade osprey for the money! Centuar if you want to spend more! Everyone has thier own preferance but that Osprey is a shooter for the money!

Call Jim Gainey at Black Creek Bows

Pronghorns are hard to beat

You should definitely check out Kegan McCabe's Omega longbows.  A lot of value for the money......and they are fast indeed.  They don't have fancy wood, usually oak riser & hard maple limb cores.  Don't expect the kind of finish you'll get on a $500 bow, but they are built to hunt and shoot fast.   http://www.omegalongbows.webs.com/

Chad Holm makes a very good longbow.  I have 30" draw and picked up on of his Goshawks, I really love it.

dollar for dollar they would be hard to beat. I sold one a few months ago, only because it was about 5# over my comfort zone. [/b]

FYI: He is currently taking orders to be filled in January of 2013

I want to stick to the 300 to 400 range. I really like Bamabows and Don Dows. Thanks for the help guys!Could you post some pics so we can all drool? haha

I have 2 R/D bows by Chad Holm, an Osprey and a Goshawk.....tough to beat for the money. I have a Kohannah that's real nice also. Monday I have a used Northern Mist Baraga coming to the stable and I'm betting it's gonna be nice as well.

Agree x2 awsome bow. Easy to get one. But if I could wait, I'd order a NM superior. But again not for a first .

I got a Navajo Stick Caddo model from Roy Hall. I don't know what his new ones are like mine is about 15 years old. It's a good shooter. Fast and quiet.
