How many out there like hybred styled bows?

[RIVERWOLF]

......I believe they are considered Longbow hybrid if the string only touches the tips @ brace . If one was to be tech-no ..LOL

I have had a Mt Ash Longbow (hybrid) built many years ago . I went in Tracy's shop looking for a mild R/D for a back-up    Bow .

When he asked if I would like to try a bit of a mix between the recurve and longbow ...Hybrid .

Well after one shot .....I LIKE  

...Stable , quiet , fast , and good looking ...whats not to like eh ???

Like is a rather weak word for such a sweet shooting bow >>>------------->         ......yep I like  

[RIVERWOLF]

....Forgot the stats for those that have a need to know    

My Mt Ash Longbow (Hybrid) is 53#@28"  and 62 1/2" !
Red Elm limbs , Osage riser with a slice of ebony .

she likes a 7 1/8---7 1/4 brace

This is a Chastain Spike III 62" 56# @ 28.  I totally agree with all the positives regarding this bow.  Quiet, dead, smooth and good performer.  The only negative about this bow is it is too heavy for me, my own fault.  I think I'm gonna sell it but it is sweet!

I love my Kanati. Is it considered a hybrid? If so, then I love hybrids!

I love the hybrid design, especially the McCullough Griffin / Shrew design and they are my favorite longbow style now.  I have owned traditional straight limbed and mild R/D designs but the hybrids seem to shoot with smoother and can be shot comfortably in a much shorter length than other designs, which can be a benefit in hunting situations.

Like to build em and like to shoot em even more. Easy to point and shoot where ya look, with authority.

hybrid longbows are the best

I have a Hybrid and love it however I do not shoot it well, I thought it was probably lack of mass, however I have a few friends who say that the hybrids are more unforgiving to form issues. Do not know if it is true but would be interested in what others think.

I love the hybrids. In fact I just designed a new one for the Steppe Eagle belly mount riser. Now I can have either a hot belly mount hybrid or a static recurve on the same riser. Finishing the first one cept they ordered two sets of hybrid limbs instead of one of each. LOL. Can' blame em. The hybrids rock big time .

God bless, Steve

Thanks for the info. I've made only one, and it turned out sort of decent and was considering adding it to my line up. But, it looks like the bow market already has enough hybrid makers.  I'll have to give it some thought.

I was going to get recurve limbs on my bow but liked the hybrid limbs so much I order the second set the same except for weight.

Mike,

I know a number of guys make hybrid styles. I would still strongly consider making a hybrid with several handle styles if you can.

Your prices are lower than many competitors and that may well give you an edge other bowyers do not have.Think of all the customers you are missing by not offering it.... Especially if you can get it dead in the hand. Many people make them, only a few make them well.

[RIVERWOLF]

.....If your gonna make bows , I would definitely add a well thought out and tested Hybrid to the lineup !

Hell , I think a bowyer could make a Great go of it with just one design , if its a great design....Hybrid  

Mr. La Clair seemed to do pretty well

I love that type of bows!

About all I care to shoot.

Big fan of hybrids.

Have a couple Hummingbirds and a Morrison hybrid longbow. Seem to shoot a recurve better on 3-ds, but still keep going back to the longbows because of the look and feel of shooting a hybrid. Shot some of the Hill type [D shape] longbows and will pass on them. One opinion, Roy

[champ38]

Love hybrids, Big Jims TC comes to mind. Boy I like the strung profile of that bow.
