Wondering people's thoughts on the great northern traditional longbow vs other ASL bows?

Mine had all Osage limbs with trapezoid cross section.It was really solid and stable.I liked the GN broomhandle grip alot.More than other ASLs personally.The grip was on the smallish side.

Thanks for the reply. I have a GN ghost. Also a fan of the grip!

I have one that was made by Rick. It has boo limbs with an oak riser. It also has the trapezoid cross section. A real good shooter. It doesn't seem to be as quick as my shrew, but it does seem to be little more forgiving.

I had a couple older ones made by Jerry. One was the longbow and the other was a flat bow that they called the bush bow. I liked the feel of the grips, but I didn’t shoot them as well as my longbows with a fuller grip. Go figure.
