Anyone know which bows the top IBO longbow shooters are using?

Cherokee Scout

I heard they will be shooting 56" Banshees!
Just joking Randy.

Isn't that what Dave Wallace shoots with his Wallace Mountain longbow? He's won a ton of titles with those longbows!
Ken "Spanky" Neal

4 Sunset Hills and counting!

66" 59# "White Dragon"
65" 56# "El Tigre"
67" 47# "Quiet Places"
66" 57# "Lionheart"

The ones I know of are about as diverse as the rest of us-Rod Jenkins shoots an Adcock, Milton Calloway his 21st Century, Ricky Welch shoots his bows...forget what Bill Leslie was shooting, but it was a different one also.

Any of these guys can shoot most any bow and spank the average shooter--it's not the bow, but rather the monkey behind it.

Another thanks to Milton and his 21st Century bows.  Several years ago I shot at Cloverdale with him and he loaned me one of his bows to try.  It was awesome!  I have owned one ever since and I do see a lot of the top shooters with them.  Good bow, good price and a great guy to deal with.

Not the bows that make the shooter but the shooter that sells the bows.

I understand it's the guy pulling the string that makes the most difference.There are however IMO some bows better suited to target games.I don't expect to be able to buy a bow that makes a poor archer into a great one.I do see though in most competition type events equipment does matter.

Thanks guys for the input.I really do appreciate it.

Chad,

The last I knew, Bill was shooting an Iron Mountain longbow.  I've also read where some have opined that he could shoot against most of we average Joes with a switch and piece of twine for a string and beat us with our best longbow.  That can probably be said of all of the shooters you listed, as well!    :)
