Ate up with Reflex-Deflex Longbows

[trad_bowhunter1965]

I started my Journey to shooting a Tradbow back in 2005 when I found Trad Gang site and its been a awesome journey. My first bow was a Bob Lee Custom takedown I bought used I sent back to Bob Lee and Rob Lee dropped the limb weight and build me another set of limbs I killed a Antelope with that bow and I swore I would never shoot another bow. Then I shot my first Reflex-Deflex Longbow by Pronghorn and I been hooked bad my wife bought me a Yellowstone Custom bow a Halfbreed Reflex-Deflex Longbow from Rich Wormington three years ago and now I own two and got a one piece being built. There are a bunch of Reflex-Deflex Longbows out there that I would like to try one was the Mohawk Sparrow Hawk by Vince he retired. I found one used and I bought I love this bow I am also looking at the Kohannah Bows I have read some great reviews about them. Please post what Reflex-Deflex Longbows you like and if you have photos please post them too.

I have shot a number of R/D LB's since 1990's. I have a Wes Wallace Royal that my wife bought me back then. Nothing fancy but it shoots fine for me, my hunting bow. Unfortunately old age is rearing its ugly head and 55#'s isn't as much fun to shoot. I also maybe restricted due to a heart issue? If I could not get another Royal I would probably go with a Black Widow. I have shot a number of them over the years and they are close to my bow. Although that new bow from 3Rivers sure is pretty. Just having a tough time making up my mind, so many bows, so little time.

Dan Toelke's Whip. It was the first D/R Longbow I owned but I've shot quite a number of others brands since. I am recovering from a torn rotator cuff and shooting a recently received, lighter weight Toelke Whip, I've not found their match.

I'll second the Toelke Whip--excellent bow.  I also really love my Galaxy Ember TD RD bows--have two of them.  Best grip I have ever had on any bow.

The couple I have are not being made anymore.  Hope they outlast me.

I got the Pronghorn(3pc), Yellowstone(halfbreed), & last, but not least...a Liberty Edge. They are not going anywhere,  except to hunt!!

Yeah I have a Toelke whip 1 piece, my favorite bow. I just put an order for another one, but the takedown version. I love the standard grip and the thin limbs

For me it's a toss up between my JD Berry Taipan and a Toelke Whip with the classic grip.  To me they feel very similar in both the grip and performance.  Can't go wrong with either!

my Toelke Whip.

I have had quite a few R/D bows but the JD Berry Taipan is hands down my favorite of all. For me they just point so natural and effortlessly land on target.

My recently aquired 2 piece Toelke Whistler. 58" 50lb @ 28
This is my first R/D longbow. I parted with a couple of recurves to get it. I just really love the looks of an R/D longbow. This one has been shooting great and I'm really enjoying it. Been wanting to get my hands on a Poison Dart also. That's next on my list.

Toelke Whip and Pika.  I always have one of each in my massive 3 bow collection.  Toelkes are the best.

I have always shot short R/D hybrid bows due to my short draw length and I like the extra performance....I recently picked up a Toelke Super D and absolutely love it...not as fast as the hybrids, but so quiet and accurate.!!  Shop the classifieds because I'm fixing to list a couple of the best R/D's out there..!!

Leon Stewart of PA.  I have two of his bows and have gone through many over the years.  They are light, master fit and finish, no shock, and quiet as any bow that I have shot. They shoot easily and well.   You will not see almost any on the secondary market as they are keepers.
