I have an Ole Ben 5000 longbow. It stacks. It has horrible handshock. But I have hunted and competed with it over the years. It's my bow.

That's a stunning bow! As a righty you could maybe shoot that thumb draw on the offside? That would be killer. I agree, there's alot about the bow. I started in archery 3 years ago because I loved longbows, then I moved to recurve and now I've gone to Turkish and Mongol style bows shooting off the right by thumb. Traditional bows are just beautiful, period. I'm not into pullies and stuff although I know they are more accurate and faster. BUT, I can shoot 6 arrows accurately to 20 yards in the time it takes a compound archer to get off 1 or 2.

Hmm interesting question. The first bow that drew me to the beauty of a bow was a Pearson Equalizer with similar lines to the Browning you're holding. My first hunting bow was a Glass Pearson which I still have. But the bow I am shooting now is an A&H long bow love the feel love the way it shoots though not 100% sold on the grip. It's a bit narrow in the throat of the grip. I bought it for 3d from a friend and this coming season will be y first full season with it. I haven't found my perfect hunting bow yet it most likely will be a take down. Multiple limb weights with one perfect grip .

Thanks for sharing! Pearson made some really great bows back in the day.. I had a 61/62 Howatt Hunter with the orange/brown glass and rosewood riser- I wish id kept that bow.. it just fit so well.. higher wrist grip fit me so well on that.. the pivot point was sitting so well over my hand.

Now, I get that the longbow first shot will be quieter vs a recurve first shot - you explained why. What is the significance of that? Does that mean you get a possibility of a second shot? Wouldn't an animal get spooked on the first shot anyway, even with the difference in sound emitted?

I see what you are saying... in general alot of folks I find are looking for a few things.. One of them is how quiet a bow style is longbow vs recurve - hence my tip/pointer. This however does not take into consideration bow design, string types- low stretch etc.. and of course how an animal is behaving when one is hunting is critical. As a tracker, at one time working for an outfit to find deer that had been hit- I can say that a nervous and alert animal can react to sound- any sound much faster than an animal that does not know you are there. A quarter of a second makes a huge difference in some scenarios.. Animal body language and behavior matter a lot when hunting of any kind.. So getting off a second shot tends to be a pretty individual situational event rather than the norm. Can you get a second shot off? Yes- does it happen often.. Id say its not the norm.. Cheers!
