I have narrowed my next bow down to these two models. I know the classic whip has more R/D than the bushbow. I also know that the Bushbow has wider limbs and is closer to a flat bow than the narrow deep cored limbs of the Classic Whip. Please help me break the tie by giving me your pros & cons and why you would choose one over the other...  Thanks

Tough call there...

I've shot the BB and like it a lot..espeacially the straight handle.

Never had the chance to shot a Whip...but from what I've read I'm sure I would like it as well.

I'm curious as to what others say also.
Never shot a bush bow but I've owned a Whip and can't imagine a bow being better.  Different but not better.

Both nice bows, but I think you are comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different bow styles. I had a Bush bow and liked it a lot. I think you might get better performance from the Whip......if that's important to you.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Agree with Ron...two different animals.  I shot Bushbows pretty much exclusively for a decade and loved them, but when I started dropping weight a bit, I switched to a Lil Creep...sort of a tweener; little more r/d and a more narrow limb than the Bushbow, but not quite as distinct as a Whip.  I prefer straight grips and love the Jackknife takedown, so the Creep works for me.

I have shot and owned a BB but I have no experience shooting the classic whip. Wanted the feedback from fellow Tradganger's who have either shot or owned both models for a side by side comparison to help me make what I already know will be a tough call... Help !

I picked up a classic whip on trade. Made the deal based on reviews of the whip.  I have not been disappointed.   Easy drawing bow very quiet dead in the hand and points very well.  I just got done shooting my classic. 47  @ 28
