i found out the hard way that even a 62" longbow in a double bull blind needs careful manuevering, much to the delight of ms. antelope ...

I like the hinge and the fiberglass sleeve the best.Both work well and are easier to retrofit an existing bow with than the other systems.

I like the 2 peice better myself . It just feels more like a longbow than the 3 piece does or at least thats the way it seems to me . Alot of hybrid 3 piece longbows Ive had shot and felt like a 3 piece recure but like I said , thats how it felt to me  .

Jim Neaves @ Centaur is on the tail end of a new design of his own T/D system for his bows that he is very excited about. I hopefully will have the first one he sends out. Very neat setup from his description.....

I am left-handed and there don't seem to be a whole lot of those floating around where you can test drive them.  I am hoping to get a chance at a few before too long though.  Thanks for the input!

I'm of the 2pc crowd. I like the aesthetics better than 3pc. They look just like its 1pc brothers and retain a simple clean line. I like Widow and Big Jims sleeve system over the hinge or bolt.

I like my 2 pc Centaur quite a bit.My first stick was a Martin Hatfield and my 2nd was a 1 pc LB because I hardly ever took the 3 pc down.A 1 pc 64" LB is a pain sometimes LOL but my 2 pc comes apart and back together so easy that it does come apart more often then my 3 pc ever did.

A plus for the 3 pc is a differnt set of limbs

PS my 2 pc use's the hinge system and it seems well build to me

Chek-Mate Crusader, 2-piece.  The td system is like the old Stotler td.  The only difference in feel is a little extra mass weight due to the phenolic riser--otherwise it feels and shoots like a 1-piece.
