3 Piece Long Bows for the Recurve Shooter

Interseptor · January 23, 2014, 07:52:00 PM

I've shot recurve forever and have always had a fascination with three piece longbows. I've only shot two and I felt afterwards that the lack of cast was noticeable. Are there any three piece Lbs out there that you as a recurve shooter felt made the transition a smooth one? One that made you feel that you didn't loose anything when you switched up?

Yes sir,
The Journeyman LB/ Recurves are performers as well as easy on the eyes

Zipper and RER, that's my thoughts, I own a Zipper and have shot a RER. I have recurve and longbow bow limbs for my Zipper at the same poundage.

ACS does very well.

In my order of preference, Morrison ILF, Morrison Shawnee, and a close third, Morrison Cheyenne.

Trust me, you will not have trouble with "cast", very few recurves can keep up with his longbow limbs.

You should look at a Stalker Coyote!

My RER LXR lets me do a direct comparison because both the recurve and longbow limbs are the same draw weight...I consider them to be interchangeable when it comes to performance...I was going to chronograph them but I called Sue to save myself the trouble...she assured me they are very close

ACS is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, three piece hybrid out there. I have several and don't feel I'm giving up anything to recurves. In fact, my ACSs are faster than the few recurves I have at the same weigth.

Dryad Longbow, either the ACS or standard Orion longbow limbs. Rally fast and really quiet, not horrible to shoot without silencers even and you could pick up aset of recurve limbs and shoot them on the same riser!

RER LX

I have been shooting an ACS 68" 61# with the RC riser. Performance wise I don't really feel like I've given up any performance but gained some forgiveness from the longbows rigidness. The features I do miss is it is not as compact in length and the sight window is shorter than I'd prefer.

Bob Lee comes to mind.

The Sasquatch hybrid long bow is one of the smoothest shooting highest performance bow you can buy right now. This bow makes the transition a piece of cake.

I offer custom grips to match your shooting style and balance the limbs to a tee.... Check em out bro.

Firefly by Jim jones. It's been my gold standard for smooth shooting. Said I'd never sell mine, but I just love one piece longbows more so I'm gonna have to put it up.

Second that. I have 2 journeyman bows and a 3rd longbow on the way! Absolutely incredible!

Leon Stewart Slammer,Morrison carbon/foam and ACS are very nice and worth a close look.

1. LeOn StEwArT sLaMmEr!!!!

2. Dryad ACS. I'd take it over the A&H version all day. Did not care for the A&H version one bit.
