Alternative to Tomahawk longbow?

trad_in_cali · February 25, 2012, 04:02:00 PM

Hello, I recently bought a new-to-me Tomahawk, and enjoy shooting it quite a bit. Mostly 3D. Shooting under 40 yds. #40@28, shooting 3 under.
I need a T/D (I'm a lefty, been posting on the classifieds for any T/D at that weight, 2-piece but no luck).
I was thinking of getting the Tomahawk T/D, but I had such a bad customer service experience with 3 Rivers that giving them money irks me.
Any similar T/D bow suggestions?
Thanks!

Tons and tons. I would suggest blackwidow.

I was looking at the PL-X. Like that T/D system, like Big Jim's, (though his waiting list is 9 months).

Yellowdog has a T/D PLX listed here now.

Watch close for a nice used Thunderchild.If Jim dont sell them all in Birmingham this weekend he may have one in stock. Give him a call.

Marco, The Great Northern Critter Gitter or Lil'Creep with the Jack knife hinge. It folds up but doesnt come apart. Real nice system, Jerry has a pretty short wait time, 8 weeks, better than most.

Thanks!
Thanks Eric, hope you enjoy the Classic back! I'm at the range almost everyday, keep the mind busy.
ciao!

Thanks, I'm left-handed, that's why it's so hard to find one used. Yellowdog's PLX was exactly what I was looking for. Only LH.

Have you checked out Bamabow? Similar takedown system and start for $539.00 in the Hunter model I believe. I recently acquired one in trade and really like it.

Yes, but his longbows are straight-limbed, and the D/R Expedition comes as a 62", I do wanted a 64 or 66" for stability in 3D.
Maybe I'll just get on the list for Big Jim. 9 months isn't that long... right?

PLX

Give Keith Chastain a call at www.worldclassbows.com and ask for his Spike TD model. Waiting time should be short and he'll build everything you want.

WESTBROOK · February 25, 2012, 07:08:00 PM

Chad Holme Goshawk, he'll put a bow-bolt in it for ya.

Im sorry you had a bad experience with 3 rivers. I have always found them to be fantastic. Good luck in your search

I've also got a 3 piece left hand TD in a maple riser you could look at. check out the TG classified or my stock bow page on my web site. I do not build a two piece TD myself, but Steve does.... Kirk

Hey Steve, Why don't you build this gentleman a a nice two piece?

In the grand scheme of things, absolutely not...but waiting for a bow...that 9 months is gonna seem like f o r e v e r. At least it would to me, of course I've been known to be more than a little impatient. That being said, if it's what you want and you're happy with it in the end, it'll be worth it.

Mohawk longbows.

Holms, Big Jim, Mohawk, Lots to choose from.

Good luck and God bless you, Steve
