Hybrid Longbow

[Dave1437]

One thing that you might consider is checking out some of your area bowyers. Ron Foley is I believe from Tx. and he makes and nice bow. I am in the middle of Ks. and I have a couple of Wild Horse Creek bows with another one being made. It`s nice to be able to work with the maker and have some personal touches, such as picking out the exact peice of wood etc. Mike is in northeast Ks. and it`s not that out of the way to go visit and have him do the final fitting to my hand until it`s just the way I want. I hope you enjoy this process, beats one from K-Mart.

There are a couple of Bowyers here around Houston also. I'm trying to find the guy that bought Grey Wolf Longbows

The Foley bows I have seen are exceptionally nice.
Iam going to second the Sasquatch. That bow sings. It is super fast. Perhaps the fastest, quiet and shock free. Kirk is a supurb bowyer that takes the time to perfectly hand time and tune every bow before it leaves the shock. They are a pleasure to shoot. They are available at a base price. Also the base bow will be made exactly like the most expensive bow . If you really want a hunter then that would really shine.

God bless you, Steve

I'm still gonna say the Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbow. Bob is in Austin and you can try many at his shop.

What may be a gem in my hands may actually be something totally undesireable in yours.

Try before you buy if at all possible.

Absolutely, it's all about the grip.  A good shooter can shoot just about any bow well enough to kill, but even for them there will be that "special" bow

Try Before You Buy! My recommendation is the tomahawk series bows though.

I am a Black Widow guy and could go the rest of my life without ever shooting anything else.  I absolutely love my PLX longbow.  It's fantastic.  

But... I have become interested in Kirk's (Bigfoot) bows lately.  Never shot one, never seen one shot, never seen one in person.  BUT, Kirk clearly knows a lot about how to make a cutting-edge trad bow.  I read a lot of his posts.  And a lot of guys are clearly pleased with the bows he's made for them.  I will probably buy another BW someday... but I want to try a Sasquatch first!

Kanatis are hard to beat and are priced very well. Jason is great to deal with.

There's no substitute for a bow that looks and feels right in YOUR hand.

You definitely want to try a MOAB along with the rest, though.  Great bow that won't break the bank.

I've tried 6 different hybrids now. A+H ACS take-down longbow, Centaur Carbon Elite, Whippenstick Cari-bow Pegerine and Bearpaw quickstick (European Brand)and V Archery hybrid a Dutch Bowyer.

For me there is no, I repeat, no equivalent for a Peregrine!

[Breeze430]

I wonder if they Have a Loaner Program for that MOAB?....I can fiels test it 3 weeks in December in South Tejas!

[trapper]

You should give Navajo bows a try. I've shot them for years and Roy is a real gentlemen to deal with.

Here is a beauty I picked up from Arnold at V Archery [made in the Neatherlands] Very reasonable price wise, quick build time, it looks and shoot great... This one is 62"50#@28.. Arnold is a member here on TG.

Check out the Hitman Custom Longbows.  I think for the price and shootability of them you can't go wrong

You will get a ton of advice on RD Longbows. Best advice I saw posted on this thread was from Rob DiStefano, "Try before you buy". Just because someone says one bow, it might not be "THE" bow for you.

I own a 56" Thunderstisk Mag and a 62" Turkey Creek I hardly ever shoot.
