I like the looks of longbows with narrow limbs, both D-shaped and extreme hybrid.  Can y'all help me with some of the makers of such bows?

Dan Toelke makes a whip that is pretty narrow, and it shoots awesome.

Overspined

There aren't many.  The shrewhill longbow has narrow limbs and is Hill style. I usually don't see others with the very narrow limbs made for sale. They are labor intensive.

How narrow do you want to go?

Hill archery just took the weight down on a bow of mine and it's really narrow now too.

Steve Turay of Northern Mist. He also makes one of the best shooting longbows I have ever shot. He's a heck of a nice guy. I called him a few times and made some changes and he was always very nice and accommodating. He also is an accomplished hunter.
 The Shrewhill is very nice looking. I haven't shot one but those that have say great things about them. Also Ron is a nice guy and has been an accomplished hunter for many years. You wouldn't go wrong with either.

Great bow.
 
 

This is a plenty coups archery special.
It is the same as a montana bows ( Toelke) Whip..made by the same guy..
Just this is less expensive as there are no veneers and limited options on riser woods.
The wait time is normally very short.

South Cox's Stalker Recurve longbow limbs are narrow as are Brian Wessel's Talltines.  Leon Stewart's are narrow as well as Abe Penner's Caribow.  Habu longbows are also..

Another vote for the hybride Peregrine Cari-bow from Abe Penner. One of the best bows I ever shot.
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that string! [/i]                            :rolleyes:

I also love the looks of the narrow limbed longbow.  I use a 1 1/8" pattern to cut out my  "Carolina Night" (Hill style) bows and "Short Night" (very moderate r/d).  Soon I'll start experimenting with the narrow limbs on the "Long Night"

Keep an eye out for  Saxon American. I think Randy is no longer making them but they show up sale now and then.

Robertson Stykbows have a narrow limb.  They are sweet killing machines, but i will admit that i am slightly biased.

Bill Forman builds a really nice thin limbed bow.  The Great Plains Rio Bravo Longbow.

You might want to check out Mr. Chastains line of Wapiti longbows, ive got one of his 2 pc Yellowstones which measures 7/8 wide at the riser fades and 7/16 wide at the tips, it is a joy to carry and a great shooter.

Black Creek.  beautiful bows, and graceful.  Some of the better looking veneers.  Price is good too.
