Great starting bow/ first long bow

I have been using this as my go-to bow since I started archery. I love this bow and think it's well worth the price for someone getting into archery.

I bought a left-handed version for myself in 2020 for still and ground blind hunting for NC whitetails. This is one of the only longbows that accepts a fast flight string, which I bought. I'm going to order a right handed one as a training/hunting bow for my adult sons now in 2021.

Use the bow for target 3D and hunting. Bow is quiet and well made. Looked better than pic on site. First longbow in over 30+ years for switching from compound to longbow again, would recommend for anyone switching to start with. Bow shoots wood and FMJs well!

I bought this bow having never used a longbow before and using only recurve. This bow changed my mind. I love this bow more than any recurve I have ever shot even though I've had the opportunity to shoot some pretty expensive ones. I'm a beginner to longbow but not a beginner to archery at all. I'm a hunter and will b taking this bow with me on the next upcoming season rather than… read more my recurve.

I would recommend this bow

I have been shooting archery for over 40 years. When I saw this on 3 Rivers for $200 I thought I would give it a try although the ad on the website unenthusiasticly disparaged the bow as one suitable for beginners. Since it arrived it has consistently been my go-to bow and I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting it. It has been so good as to cause me to wonder about 3 Rivers attitude… read more toward the bow.

Apache 68" Longbow Questions and Answers

Ask a Question
Asked by william 2 years ago

This #35 bow with 31 inch draw. What wood and aluminum arrows would you recomend? I have been using Easton 2016's for recurves over the years. First planned long bow purchase. Thanks. WC

Post an Answer
For Aluminum, arrow length at least 32" with 145gr point you can 2 years ago

For Aluminum, arrow length at least 32" with 145gr point you can use a 2016. If you go up to 160gp you can use 2016/2018 and if you go up to 190gp you can use 2016/2018/2217 and 2213. For Wood, arrow length at least 32" with 145gp your spine should be 50-55, 160gp it would be 55-60 and 190gp 60-65

Asked by Too Tall 2 years ago

Being I am a tall man. Compound draw length is 33.5". At #45 @ 28" with the draw weight be like a #57? Not alot of information about Traditional when the shooter is way above average. Is a standard bow ok?

Post an Answer
Going from compound to traditional, I have seen a draw length dr 2 years ago

Going from compound to traditional, I have seen a draw length drop from 1 to 1.5" roughly. But, normally you get 2 to 3 pounds of pull for every inch. So it would be in the area of 57# at the length. I would get your draw length measured though. That would be a draw for a traditional bow, but you are looking at the right length of 68" for a bow length. You may want to consider a takedown bow though. Something with a longer riser (say 21") to make it less stressing on the limbs at a longer draw like that.
