Am continuously interested year after year in what bows will be new for me and for others. I always look forward with much anticipation
to a new experience and like to share in the anticipation of others.
Would relish the opportunity to acquire a lower poundage 62” TimberGhost – all G10 riser…42@28 …My 58”[email protected] G10 TGX riser is a gem and has seen 64 hunts so far this season. Note...Kent has never bult one. I am pleading with him.
Also, wish to acquire a Big Jim Thunderchild for a date with a gob.
What 2025 new bow plans do others have?
-
My list would be what bows I hope to build this year; I'm far too cheap to actually buy one. :laugh: My current goals for this year include a rocky mountain maple self bow and a juniper recurve backed with sinew. Both are underway and both will be really cool if they don't explode!
-
I'm fairly certain that a new Centaur longbow is in my near future. I acquired a used one from a friend last year and quickly found out what all the fuss was about. On the new one I'm dialing in length, draw weight, and grip.
Can't wait. :campfire:
-
Nada--zilch--none.....
Got plenty of bows to keep me busy......
Might need some new arrow this year......
Time and place is what I want/need.....
Finding the public or private land location & dedicating time to hunt would go so much further in my book of happiness....
But each to their own.......there are a lot of nice bow out there to try and to hunt with....
-
Just edited my post...........I'm staying with my Hoyt Satori---it's the best shooting bow I've ever owned and I've owned a bunch.
This will be my 3rd season with the Satori and that's a record for me. :readit:
Happy New Year to you all!
-
I plan on using my new Centaur Super Curve at LTR soon.
-
I have a Centaur Carbon Elite that Jim made me in the mail!!! Can't wait to get my hands on it!!
-
I have 2 Widow PLX’S coming in the spring
-
Looking for a 62” widow PSA so I can get myself back into the trad life post shoulder surgery. Seems I can never find a used one when I’m looking for one. Might just have to order a new one.

Texas band the Super Curve :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
-
I’d like to run across a nice Sunset Hill in the low 40’s before I get too old to shoot one :biglaugh:
-
Got a Kanati on order. Black Dymondwood riser actionboo limb cores with gray camo veneers.
-
SWA 64"/ 40# ghost is enroute....
excited
-
I have all I want or need in my modest collection of two identical draw weight Sierra longbows.
What I covet the most for 2025 is time with my family, a few productive DIY hunts on public lands, and a little deeper relationship with God.

Contentment. A rare trait among archers! :laugh:

Wanted to get me a shorter lighter poundage bow than I usually shoot. So here is my first bow for 2025 my 52"amo 1972 Bear Black Panther Hunter recurve. It was an economically priced bow I believe that Bear Archery made for other retail stores like Kmart, Montgomery Wards, and Sears. It shoots really nice, at least to 20 yards. I've been hunting with it this late archery season.

Nice shooting!

Pretty content with my Robertson Ram Styk at the moment but I’m always open for a Hill-style or anything interesting in general

Ha! If so, I'll have my Centaur with me also. :readit:
-
PSAX on the way.
-
I have too many now ( oh yes I realize you cannot have enough): but I will stand pat with this hand now. I cannot get around to shooting what I have.
-
I’d love to get a centaur with the carbon back. I also would love to get my hands on an RER Arroyo
-
Just ordered another Centaur Triple Carbon Elite.
-
Procured. Been wanting a replacement PSA for years. Lucked into this wonderful PSAX. Got it Thursday and loving it.

I would love to find a backup Great Northern Ghost for my current one. It's my favorite bow by far.
I'd also like to find some 62 inch limbs for my Blacktail Elite VL. The 66 inch limbs are super smooth, but I'd prefer a touch shorter.
-
You guys are having too much fun, I may build one without camo paint, this time... :goldtooth:
-
Ordered a Centaur super curve and another set of limbs for my silver tip. So many bows…so little time
-
My new bow for 2025. (The top one) PTF, 58” 51#. Cocobolo and Osage. Osage limbs. I had a takedown on order, but I couldn’t get the PTF off my mind.Shawn Leonard (I think) said the PTF was the best bow Black Widow made. Two other guys I know said they were sweet. So, I thought why not try one.
I shot it for a day or two. So smooth and I really like the lower grips of BW. I cancelled my ordered bow and kept the PTF. The try before you buy is really a nice option. The worst case scenario is you will be out $100 or thereabouts.The hit will be a lot bigger if you buy one new and decide to resell.
I did buy an ASL(St Patrick Lake MushinStyk)and am playing with that one, too. It is very nice but I have always shot recurves better. But this one is a good shooter also.
-
:notworthy:
I ordered my PTFx today! Can't wait. Will be my fifth Widow but first PTF.
-
Going to call Jim and Georgia soon and order me a Bivouac Hill Jack for my first ALS. I'll get to see if the ASL is something I like or not. Should be fun and I'm looking forward to it. :archer2:
-
Maybe a Bighorn Legacy. Good looking and lots of history behind it.
-
I'm still looking for just the right 68-inch ASL. Weight needs to be 40-45@28, all the laminations on the back of a relatively short riser, narrow, string follow limbs, tip wedges not overlays, bamboo lams preferred. Hoping to find a used one, but not many built to those specs.
-
Ordered Backwoods Composite MOAC limbs to pair with the riser I've had (made by them) for a couple years.
37lbs. at 28 inches. Plan is to get about a 25 yard "point on" with a 34 inch, very heavy arrow which should be
both quiet and easy on the shoulder.
-
Just snatched up another 52" Cascade Golden Hawk Magnum a couple weeks ago. Couldn't help myself!
If I were just out buying bows for fun, there's a Bwana Safari for sale somewhere that is an absolute beauty. I am curious as to their performance.
If I were buying a bow I'd plan on keeping for a lifetime, I'd get a 60" BW PSR takedown with a Toby grip.
-
I will be getting a new 68" ASL. Northern Mist isn't taking orders until their backlog is caught up, I'll keep my eyes on the stock list.
I am not sure what is happening with the new owners of Howard Hill Archery? So, I am pretty sure I am going to order an ASL from Jim Belcher @ Bivouac Bows - the Union Jack and Hill Jack look like quality, proper Hill style bows.
-
I would love to come up with Kemphf static recurve.
-
Two birds with one stone. Always wanted a bear magnum in camo. I found this at the Kalamazoo show and it needed some TLC. 1968 bear magnum , waiting for new decals before clear coat.
