Habu Vyperkahn triple carbon

Qarbon Nano

Sarrels. Bob builds a nice bow.

What's the quietest longbow you've shot?
A 1pc Green Mountain Stingray, 1pc 62" Whip,  Horne Combo Hunter 3pc and a A&H ACS 3pc


What's the smoothest longbow you've shot?
I don't think I have had a longbow that wasn't smooth. The only difference I have noticed is some have no preload, others have a lot of early preload, and then the remainder have a balanced approach.


What longbow you've shot has had the least amount of handshock?
A Hummingbird 3pc, RER LX 3pc, and A&H ACS 3pc.

Mohawk.

Quietest is any selfbow, then Hill style longbow.  Smoothest, fastest, least amount of hand shock, etc. are my A&H ACSs.

I'd have to say a Jim Jone's firefly for all three, and even though I don't shoot it much (prefer the looks of a one piece), I can't seem to sell it for those reasons.

I think the quitest I've had is a Two Tracks long Walker I just pulled in off a trade. Had Mink on it when I got it, which I pulled off to see what I really had as far as vibration and noise. I was impressed and may not add anything back. Shooting 10 strand just under 10gr per lb.
As for smoothest , that would be my Hummingbirds. My 3 pc bird is pretty darn quite also.

Thats easy.....Big River, Big River, Big River!

Quietest, smoothest, and most shock free have all been a 64" Widow PLX T/D for me, I had a 60 and 62 that didn't match it and even the more straight limbed Robertson Primal Styk I had wasn't as quiet as that particular Widow.  Sold it like an idiot.  Next in line for smoothest and most shock free would be a Morrison Dakota 1 pc, and then a super shrew deluxe, that's a pretty sick bow.

Howard Hill!
