Thank you Mike.
When I visit Fox web page,the first thing I aware of is their longbow tip.
So simple and elegant I have ever seen.

I have visited the Fox shop and shot his bows. They are as good as it gets. You won't find a nicer bowyer to deal with. Larry Yein who has been several times longbow world champion shoots his bows.

Hera, I bought both mine used off the classifieds
here. I  like a smaller grip and the fox bows feel good to me. If you like a bow with a narrow throat it might be a good bow for you. There are many good bows out there, its just a matter of finding one which one pleases your eye and feels right in your hand.

You can say that again.

Hera, Of the two you mention I'd reccomend the Fox. I have more than one & they don't stack are smooth, quiet, easy to tune, beautiful, & Ron's takedown sleeve is quiet & tight. I really like them. I have a 58" TD Breed that I use out of my blind. Frank

I have a 66" Fox with the takedown sleeve.  Excellent bow.  Very smooth, quiet.  Takedown sleeve is very solid.  When put together, you would never know it was a take down!

Bought mine used from Raptor Archery.  Very reasonable price for a top notch bow.

I have both and like them both.

I order my first longbow just now.
Shoppinh is exciting.  

But, waiting is annoying.  

[waknstak IL]

So What did you order??

Hera,

I've got a Tomahawk, 50# @ 28" and 62" OAL....very nice to shoot.  My wife liked it so much, she's now got one of her own!

If those are the only choices I would definately choose a Fox. A Fox will be custom to you. A Tomahawk is a production bow. I do not think they are anywhere near the quality of a Fox. I'd also Recommend Belcher Bows that also make the Massey line of bows. Both Fox and Belcher are quality companies, Highly skilled bowyers and great to do business with. I'm not saying 3 rivers isn't a quality company or good to do business with, just that Tomahawks are true custom bows. If money os no object I'd recommend Morrison Dakota or an ILF with foam and carbon longbow limbs. Sensational bows to shoot.

I have never shot a Fox, but I like my Tomahawk so much I am about to put my Black Widow PLV up for trade on another Tomahawk.
The Tomahawk just fits my hand better I guess.

it is true that t-hawkbows are nise i have a fox t-d it is the best talk to ron he can set you up

[hera]

My choice is Fox TD traditional longbow,not their new recurve style riser longbow.
Reason is totally custom in wood choice and # request.
46#@27
cocobolo/osage riser.
canary limb.
Not expensive compair with others famous bows.
5 ms waiting are batter then 2 years waiting LOL.

I dunna know guys.....my wife's Tomahawk is 25# @ 26" draw with an over all length of 58".  It's not in the Tomahawk catalogue!  Ask, and see what happens.

Your criteria are close to mine.  I was looking for a longbow this spring after shooting recurve for years.  I love my A&H ACS-CX.  Fast, smooth, very little handshock.

[AdamH]

Only shot the T-Hawk, it was the smoothest 63#'s I've ever shot, felt Real Good in the Hand also, Bill Foreman of Great Plains builds a Heck uva bow in that T-Hawk...

[Bear]

I will always give the    to Fox. There is no contest among the two you mentioned.
