What type of longbow do you prefer?

[Jason Kendall]

I am thinking of adding a new Kanati model, just hunting for ideas! Thanks

[JEFF B]

i like short bows only because i am a short ass and have a short draw 26"

[horatio1226]

I like the 58" hybrid. I love the coco one you have on your site for sale. Just trying to figure out how to pay for it!

Mild reflex/deflex D style for me Jason.I have a 62"er that I'm very fond of.

Since you can only choose 2, I picked other. I like them all, except the 3 piece T/D. I would add Hill style bows to my list also.

I have 8 LB's ranging from 56" Shrew to 68" Northern Mist string follow and some R/D in between and can honestly say I love them all, and would have trouble parting with any of them.

The 3 piece adds weight and unnecessry wood to the bow, kind of takes away from what a LB is supposed to be, to me any way. If I was forced to take one it would be a Pronghorn, or something with as small a handle as possible.

I have a 62" MOAB that I dearly love.

HOWEVER!

I have always preferred longer bows with my slightly over average draw length.  I've never been sorry for buying a bow too long, but I have definitely felt the pain of buying them too short.

I like a lot of stuff.  I have had 58"-66" R/D bows.  58-60" R/D and the 3 pt TD 60-62" are my personal favorites.  Look at what I shoot.  I like the speed of the recurve with the quiet shooting of the LB.  I just got my first 3 pc. TD, and I must say I am loving it.  The extra weight really steadies the bow down yet a small riser R/D LB is not the same as the large riser curves.  It is a nice all around package with the best of all the bows I have or have owned.

3 piece takedown. I like the added mass weight.

[Shinken]

My next longbow will be a Kanati - pre-owned....

Shoot straight, Shinken

[Jason Kendall]

Thanks for all your comments guys. So far the Poll is going just as I thought it would with the 60-64" R&D in the lead!

[cobullelk]

62" Pronghorn takedown

[30coupe]

The only thing I would like to have that I don't already is a 3 piece Kanati about 58" and around 50# draw weight...but you already knew that, lol!

Oh, and the grip would have to match that of my 46# Kanati.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I owned a Shrew 54" Hybrid and loved it.. Now I have a 70" N2N selfbow I made and really love it, too.

[joe skipp]

kempf longbow...58" is smooth and fast in both the one piece and T/D model.

[Danny J]

I also only have a 26" draw and side with HO'NEHE JEFF. Short, stable 54"-58" Longbows. Dark in color for woods hunting,
Beautiful grain of limb woods for Breakup,
Leather grip for hand comfort and warmth,
very quiet with little or no hand shock,
Good light weight 4 arrow quiver that dont slip, and light weight for this old guy to carry.
And if possible, make it so it attracts mature Bucks.
Thanks Jason

I shoot the shortest longbow I can shoot at my drawlength(30"), that length seems to be 62"....Im in the process of looking for somthing shorter now, would love to find somthing 58-60" that felt good out to 30"...

[ishoot4thrills]

I love my Beeler 56" hybrid. I would also like to have one of your Kanatis too, in a 56" as well.

[GingivitisKahn]

No option for a classic D shaped bow?  I chose other.

[ken denton]

I believe a new longbow should have the following;
Length: 62" R/D
Grip:Low pistol-type locator
Center cut: 1/16" before center with hair sideplate gluded on
Rest: Cut where feathers will clear. Rest itself to be sealskin
Brace height approx.7"
Riser: About 21 to 23" with actionwood and black micarta to add weight
Limb core: Actionwood or Actionboo
Limb veneers: Zeberawood stained dark to let the black streaks be natural camoed. The front and back will be darker so you can hunt with it up close.
String: A 8 strain Flemish twist
Silencers: Bowyer test bow for quietest ones and installs them
Quiet: Bow must be the quietest(one very important thing)
Accuracy: A must
Finish: Non-glair
Bow name: JK SILENT THUNDER

[Shaun]

Partial to longer D style longbows, not R/D
