Looking at getting a 3 piece takedown longbow. The Fireflys by Braveheart Archery keep catching my attention. Anyone shoot one?
I've owned many (40+) longbows but my Fireflys are what I consider the best money spent on a three piece longbow. I've owned Hill style, two piece, and some three piece but until I ordered my first Firefly I had no idea what I'd found. I always saw good reviews, took the plunge and never looked back.
The bowyer, Jim Jones, is one of the best bowyers I've ever dealt with. His proprietary limb design makes for an exceptionally fast and stable longbow limb. Braveheart Archery is the sole dealer for Jim's bows. Tim Harms, who owns Braveheart, will always answer your call, email or text. He provides great customer service and is a wealth of information.
The Firefly bow I hunt with is a 64", 55 lb. @ 28" three piece that draws just a tad over 58lbs at my 29.5" draw length. It will launch a 580 gr. Beman MFX Classic (400 spine) arrow at 188 fps. The two bears and countless whitetail, hogs and grouse I've shot with it have all been complete pass-throughs. My second Firefly is a 66" 36lb @ 28" bow that I initially used for indoor. It will launch a 355 gr. Carbon Express arrow at 176 FPS.
They are the best deal on a great packable all around bow and if you're wondering how accurate they are, trust me I wouldn't hunt with them if they weren't.
