Tops of the longbow class

[Bjorn]

So far it is my ACS CX

[bartcanoe]

No one has mentioned it, so I'll add to the confusion.  The best of the few longbows I've shot is the 64" Holm-Made Osprey aka Goshawk.

[David Atkinson]

Leon Stewart's bows

[Flying Dutchman]

Caribow Peregrine times 3

[BOHO]

Quietest Shrew. Smoothest Centaur.  Least handshock is a tie between the 2.

[Bullfrog 1]

This thread should be titled. Name your favorite longbow. Oh and mine after 20 years of experimenting.  Dwyer.   Bill

[JamesKerr]

For me personally a Black widow PL is number one for all of those qualities with a tomahawk diamond series at a very close second.

Javaman's bows hands down, Greg is the man!!!!!!!!!          

[MnFn]

I have owned four different brands of longbows and have come to prefer Pronghorns for all three concerns.

[Tradcat]

Quietest bow ...Kohannah Windwalker                                          Smoothest bow...Great Northern Bushbow

[Lamey]

Smoothest, Mohawk
Fastest, Centuar trip carbon
Dead in hand, Toelke Whip
Quietest, Black Creek 1 piece Siren, 58"

[Joeabowhunter]

Cari-bow!!!!  I've owned and shot many (not all mind you) but it is the bow I compare all others to.  None have been better yet as an overall package.  

[Joshua Long]

Smoothest...Northern Mist Baraga
Quietest...Toelke Super-D
Dead in hand...Mohawk/NM Baraga

[RonD]

For me, and only speaking for me, I would have to say my Sentman Moosejaw longbow. However, there are many others out there that are just as good and with the same qualities one is looking for in a longbow.

My Sentman stands out but I like the one I am making as well. Can't really say better./ But thats pretty good as far as I am concerned. Neither bow is a top speed bow that will compete with the heavy D and Rs but there is just that un-defineable something about the solid way they shoot.
God bless you all, Steve

There are alot of nice longbows out and the choice is still up to the individual shooter. A high dollar bow doesn't necesarilly mean it will shoot better than a less expensive bow. There are alot of bows I have never shot and some I dont need to shoot again. I guess the ones I like best are the ones I still own. In any order.

54" Treadway Black Forest. (my main hunting bow)
58" Treadway original
62" Dwyer Dauntless
66" Chekmate Crusader
58" Fredrick Yeoman
62" Navajo Cherokee by Roy Hall

Only my opinion of course.

[BaldingEagle]

What's the quietest longbow you've shot?  Northern Mist Whisper

What's the smoothest longbow you've shot? Whisper/Baraga

What longbow you've shot has had the least amount of handshock?
Whisper/Aspen Monarch

[LookMomNoSights]

My Zipper Nitro has all those bases covered and then some!!!!

[m midd]

Smoothest- liberty
Quietest- Great Northern
Least shock - liberty or Northern Mist

[Sixby]

Amending a statement I made. I said neither my Sentman of my longbow is a top speed bow compared to a hot d and r bow. I am referring to my D longbow the Frontier 66.  The d and rs I build are nice and warm.

God bless you all, Steve
