Title: New long bow.
Post by: Justinjones on November 05, 2019, 01:02:01 PM
I'm looking for a new long bow.  I've been out of the loop for a while. I currently only have recurves. I used to have a tomahawk SS. I sold it and regret it. My budget is around 1000 bucks. Any recommendations? Thanks.

There's tons of them. Just curious if you liked the Tomahawk why don't you get another?

I may get another.  I just thought I'd try a different bow. Maybe something by a small time bower. I haven't been following traditional archery for a couple of years and I'm not sure who is still around or making good stuff.

Thanks everyone. I'll be giving you a call, Randy. I'm looking for a one piece.  I've found some pics of your work online. Very nice.

I'm particularly fond of my A@H longbow, one of fastest and smoothest I have shot.

That's a good budget but I will leave recommendations to others.

I have owned very few longbows.  I would buy one, sell it, and wonder why the interest is so strong for them.  Then I got a Toelke Whip with standard grip.  It has been outstanding in every way.

Wild Horse Creek, there are many bowyers of there.  Primal Tech, Acadian Woods, Centaur, etc...  Makes it very difficult to pick one!

Justin, you will not be disappointed with one of Randy's bows!! They are beautiful and are amazing shooters!! Can't wait to see some pictures when he finishes your bow.

60 amo. 44-47# at 27inch. Some dark colored exotics. Kudu antler inlays and limb tips. 2 piece.  Still working on all of the details and specifics for the wood.

I've shared some ideas with Randy.  But he's the artist and I'm sure he will come up with something beautiful.

There are a lot of high quality bows out there.  I think I've shot way more than I should have.  I always end up going back to the A&H ACX, however the Centaur is right there with it and the next one I get will be  Toelke.

Toelke Whip!
