M..O..H..A..W..K

I like the Mohawk as well in a mild R and D,the GN Critter gitter is a very good one and Hornes traditionalist is real nice as well in this style.The Hornes does have more reflex than the 1st two and a wider limb.I have had the pleasure to own alot of these other ones that have been mentioned like Centaurs and Griffins.The Centaurs longest bow is 62 though and the griffin has what seems like a different look than what you are interested in possibly with its forward set grip,not sure ofcourse though.

In a longer Hybrid that smokes I would look at the Whippenstick single carbon bow in the 65 inch model or 66 inch for your draw.I got a 65 incher and it fits great and I draw 29.5 to 30.It will definatly keep up with your DAS no problem and may be faster.Also has no shock and is a pleasure to shoot.Slim and trim deep cored limb with small tips and power lams and trapezoid cross section thats done very precisely and blends the lines of the bow for a nice aesthetic look.I would recommend a Diamondwood riser in that bow.Its a highly effecient bow

Another one that is worth a serious look is Tracy trickets Shadowcast longbow.64,66 and 68 inches length.I like 66 inches as a general rule for smoothness,fingerpinch and shootability at 30 inches draw.But you could get away with 64 IMO.Alot of reflex but strings up like a D bow when strung.He builds lots of nice bows in other designs as well and knows what hes doing.

Since you mentioned possibly wanting a 2 piece I have to mention Big Jims bows whos a sponser here.Its another hybrid thats very nice and comes with a 2 piece option.The TD style is similar to a widow TD or Caribow TD in design and comes in 66 inches.I got a 2 piece 62 incher and it shoots very stable and accuratefor me.The 2 piece has a little heft it seems right through the grip area and adds to the solid feel of this bow.Smooth and stable shooter with very nice workmanship.It has 2 lams of bamboo and black and red glass in the core and tulip wood veneers under the clear glass on back and belly.I think the 4 lams of glass give this a bow a stable limb.I would love to try this bow in a 2 piece 66 incher believe me.The price is super especially if you want a 2 piece bow.This bow compares very favorably to a widow longbow IMO.I like the TD design on this bow more than some others I have had.Strong,durable,easy to assemble,no flopping around when unstrung and no tools required.Shop around thier are some really good ones to think about no doubt.

These are just my opinions.It would be nice if you could test drive all of them to pick a cherry out for yourself

Tough decision,hope you find one you love

Good luck!!!

don't forget to look at the Shrews!
and Blackwidows..

etc

I've shot quite a few long bows and own a few as well. Pronghorns have stood the test of time and are much copied. And the BW PL later model with the carbon in the limbs is truly inspired. Smooth draw, quiet and will give your das a run for the money. I bought the first one I shot right on the spot. 60lb 64" and I let the brace height down to under 6 inches drew the bow to 30 and shot, it didn't hit my wrist. That is limb stability.
And you can't forget the carbon foam Morrison Dakota, it might be even better.

1/4 away: I really like the looks of that bow. What are the wood specs in it?

Wannabe, It's Macassar ebony and tiger (curly) maple, 60" 57#@28"

Check out St Joe River bows. Dick built me a 60" longbow this summer and it is silky smooth and dead on accurate. Here's a couple of pics....

 

 

Glad you are liking the bow. It was a beautiful one for sure.

PLX Widows...

Fred, That bow is beautiful!

I have a nice mohawk for sale 52@28 64" 350

Turkey Creek has everything that you mentioned and then some. I own 2 of his double carbons, and the performance still amazes me (if you care about those sorta things). Ive chrono'ed these bows along side some of the well know "high performance" bows...well , Il just say that Ive sold everything but the Turkey Creeks.

I will put another vote in for the Jim Jones Firefly. Great bows and everything you want. I would also look at the Lewis Hollow range of TD longbows.

I decided on a Turkey Creek DC that should be hear within the next 10 days or so, and a Northern Mist Superior. I'm going to try them both and see what LB type I prefer. The TC will be 64" 65#@30", and the NM will be 66" either 65#@30" or 73#@30", haven't decided yet...waiting to see how the TC feels at full draw.

How about longbow limbs for your DAS?

We are developing ILF longbow limbs in a bunch of lengths.  Should be on the market by the first of the year if testing goes well.

Dwyer longbows make a great longbow and they are priced right.

Don't have any experience with Turkey Creek, but I think you will enjoy the Northern Mist.  I have two baraga's and they are very nice, sweet shooting bows.
