stewart slammer - you'll never regret it. leon usually has a few in stock.

BigJim has a couple Buffalos in stock.

If you liked your Wolverine I would recommend the Slynx.

I am a recurve shooter, but have played around with half a dozen different longbows. Always gravitate back to recurves.  So I am not the best person to advise you- actually one of the worst.

But there are some very, very good bow hunters on Tradgang who shoot Pronghorns. You should at least take a look at them.

Whats wrong with that?

The grip has always been the issue with me. Had great bows but if the grip didn't feel right I had to send that bow down the road.

You could take a look at the Sasquatch hybrid long bow.  i build these in 58", 60", & 62". and is still my personal favorite for hunting. I do custom grip shapes on these to match any wrist angle you would like too from low to high...

But.....You can't go wrong  with Dan Toelke, or Jimmy Reeves bows either. Both of those guys build some very nice stuff, and are great guys.





This is my hunting bow....

I sure like my Black Widow PLX, with the Toby grip.  A little fuller, with a sort of a palm-swell shape on both sides of the grip.  Made all the difference in the world to me.

I too just got the "okay" from the wife to order a Whip!  

I'm going to save a few more bucks, but I can't wait to make that phone call.

You could Try Calling John at Big River Bows, Sometimes his wait time is a couple weeks.

Dick Robertson always has bows in stock to sell immediately...also does a TRY BEFORE YOU BUY to make sure it is right one.

He is one of the long time bowyers in the community and builds a great reflex-deflex longbow....as well as recurves.

Black Canyon takedown.  You wait awhile but its worth it.

[Topdogdad1]

Any here collect or have high interest in Leon Stewart bows?

[ranger 3]

Black Widow PL

[Sixby]

Ditto on the Bigfoot. Plus the others. There are a whole lot of really good bows being built. God bless, Steve

My personal favorite of the 3 piece takedown D/R longbows would be the Firefly by Jim Jones. Braveheart Archery is a sponsor here and carries his bows. You could have one custom made by Jim as well. Go to Bravehearts site and check some out.

I was lucky to trade a Wheel bow for a Toelke Whip Classic,  It is slowly becoming my favorite bow.  I have plans to have the wife get me a Whip 2 piece for Xmass.

Do yourself a favor and look up Allen at Liberty Bows here in Oregon. He is a very skilled craftsman and a man of integrity. The

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Chad Holm I have shot his Osprey and it is an awesome bow in every aspect.

Take a look at  pronghorn longbows.
I love mine.
62" is a very user friendly length
