There are so many great bow builders but who has the best for the money.

SKY

Tradgang classifieds.

BEETLE GUY · December 27, 2008, 03:16:00 PM

I know cost is a big part of what bow I get.

Justin Falon · December 27, 2008, 03:22:00 PM

Honestly, I've shot most of the top "name" bows.
For the money and performance, I'd still buy a Howard Hill!!!

I know the classifies is a good place. I think I want to go brand new.

wihill · December 27, 2008, 03:51:00 PM

It all depends on which one you shoot best.

Personally I'm after one of each, eventually. :D

IronJohn · December 27, 2008, 03:55:00 PM

For me it's Fedora and Shrew bows. These are the 2 brands that have worked for me and see no reason to look for others........IJ

robtattoo · December 27, 2008, 03:56:00 PM

Wow! Impossible to answer :D I'm 33%/33%/33% split between Horne/Morrison/Shrew. All 3 are exceptional bows & I shoot one as well as the others.

Hmmmmmmmm........

Toughy.....

BEETLE GUY · December 27, 2008, 03:58:00 PM

I would sure try to shoot as many as you can. Trad archery is such a personal sport. I can shoot some bows much better than others and (to be honest) most of the time, I don't even know why. I have several bows and I just plain like just a couple better than all the others.
I would back away slightly on the "best for the money" in that you will probably have this bow for years so (personally) I would get the best bow for you...period. In a few years you won't even remember what you paid for it, only how much you have enjoyed owning and shooting it.

Mike Burch · December 27, 2008, 04:43:00 PM

IMHO....The JK Traditions "Kanati" longbow is the best bang for the buck. Check'em out!

If you are looking at RER be sure to check the sponsor classifieds. I'm helping Kevin and Sue handle sales here on Trad Gang and I just updated the ads last night adding a nice group of LX and XR's. Let me know if you have any questions.

Lefty · December 27, 2008, 07:29:00 PM

Best bow for the money. That's easy Quinn Archery. For the money, you will not find a better shooting bow and it will out shoot most costing much more.

bentpole · December 27, 2008, 08:14:00 PM

Oh Boy

BEETLE GUY · December 27, 2008, 08:16:00 PM

Doesn't matter.

koger · December 27, 2008, 08:25:00 PM

I like the Quinns, great bargain at any price, smooth, no hand shock or stack,fast and great people to do business with. Just got my second one and my buddy bought one yesterday. I am commparing them to my 2 BW's, and a Tradtech pinnacle longbow. Try them alongside any bow and you will be impressed. Some people dont like the alum. risers thought.
