Disc Comparison Review: Westside Discs Longbowman (compared to Felon, Honor and Getaway)

[@Latitude30Four]

Surprised how not every subscriber for the different Trilogy channels hasn't found BMo and the best reviews in the game. 25k subscribers easy peasy.

[@BeaverBranch]

Thank you B Dizzle! This all started because I wanted to know what the discs do and document it. Slowly gaining some subs!

I love my Longbowman in tournament plastic, so glad to see it being produced again. Thanks for another helpful review.

[@BeaverBranch]

You’re welcome! It’s a unique disc!

[@prattacaster]

If you throw that Fuzion Felon for a couple months it will have very similar flights to a new Getaway. Ive had mine for year and a half to two years and it just keeps getting better. Super straight and still has a nice finish. Nice review as always

[@BeaverBranch]

Thank you Pratta! I have 2 beat up Lucid Felons that I circulate in the bag! Great seasoned disc! (I try to use the brand new stuff for reviews!)

[@prattacaster]

​@@BeaverBranchYes, of course

I've looked for a disc to this slot for ages and have tried the original Longbowman, Culverin, Convict, Musket, Sampo, Boatman, Getaway and finally the Tristan Tanner Honor. The only one that really clicked was the Honor as it seemed to have that reliably straight flight with even more reliable fade. For me the Getaway had a bit more mellow fade, but seemed to start earlier in the flight. Once it beats in, it becomes nice straight flier but at that point it loses the strong fade at the end. Longbowman seemed to be slower and definitely didn't glide as well. I loved how it felt in the hand, but for me it just didn't go anywhere, kind of like the Convict. The other ones were not really quite as stable. Thank you for a nice review and I'm a bit surprised how well the Longbowman flew for you. Thank god I have the Honor so I don't have to try replicating your throws with it.

I liked the Honor after throwing it in this video! I think it’s a solid pick for the slot you are talking about!

Lonbowman has been my bread and butter disc for ages. I use it for skip approaches, and it's consistent fade for my forehand throws. Solid forehand disc

[@ctk1604]

The Longbowman has been the only disc that has not left my bag in the last 6 years. Most reliable and comfortable forehand disc in the bag

[@bakerby]

I like how the Longbowman feels in the hand. Brian, I am surprised you didn’t mention its curved inner rim. I think of that as a rare style of design. I did wish it had more glide, but I may just need more field work. I have it in Opto Ice plastic from the Queen Box. 😂I use my felon mainly as a get out of jail disc, I love throwing it as a grenade or tomahawk. I do have a question, does the release of the entire line-up of Westside discs (I’m thinking kid-stamps specifically) have anything to do with the cash infusion that came in the early spring to Trilogy (House of) Discs? I talked to a retailer that couldn’t figure out why all of these Westside molds were made available in the past few months.

[@BeaverBranch]

I’m not sure about the release of the kids stamped discs. I am guessing it’s all economics. It’s nice to get some of these discs re-released! A relief to many! The market is a bit flooded right now as the demand from the Covid boom has dropped. There are deals out there! Be patient!

[@sergiozapatadg]

loving all he Trilogy plastic 😍

[@aktideracer8710]

The Longbowman is a great disc if you like to carry a small bag like myself, it’s amazing on forehand and good at backhand as well, I generally love flat discs because of the torque resistance and dependability. If you like the Longbowman but want a faster disc look at the seargent and try and get a flatter one

[@BeaverBranch]

Great point! I forgot about the Sergeant! That would be a good comparison!

[@Iliyena87]

Been close to buying a Longbowman twice, but "I have the FX-2 already don't"... until I got a Lucid Air Felon in my Summer Mystery L64 box...threw it some and just had to get one in fuzion to bag over the FX-2 and Firebird, loving it so far. So now I can't buy the Longbowman or the Honor because of one more disc in the similar slot ;P

[@BeaverBranch]

Too many choices! So many options!

[@Iliyena87]

Just remembered... got a Star Thunderbird on the way... all them new discs (Honor/Vanguard/Sockibomb Felon) makes me try the "originals".

[@wilfredoriverajr.]

i wish you had a speed gun on, i watch all your throws

[@BeaverBranch]

That would be informative!

[@Robotron2084Guide]

The pocket radar is very easy to use and the original model is quite reasonably priced. Definitely add mph to 2024. Cheers.
