Title: Bows you hardly ever see on The Classifieds.
Post by: bentpole on September 06, 2009, 08:21:00 AM
I thought this might be an interesting topic. I'll start by adding Northern Mist bows. Over the years I hardly ever see them there.    "[dntthnk]"

How about V-Archers bows. I guess if you are making a lot of bows, there are more likely to be more in the classifieds, although I have seen a lot of Griffins lately for some reason. Saluki is another that comes to mind.

I would add "Bill Matlock" you don't see his bows around much. and same goes for his protege, "Bill Vanburskirk" Both make some awesome bows.

I do not see to many Wes Wallace bows either. One reason I believe we do not see the different bows already listed is the great customer service from the bowerys. This is true in my case. No, not to many Pete george bows either. I can (at 64 years old) still shoot mine at 64# pretty much all day.

Saluki was the first to come to my mind though.  

I think alot of this has more to do with supply than demand.  

Blacktails are fairly popular though, but never on classifieds.

I think it funny how you don't see a particular model of bow for a long time, then there seems to be a bunch of them for sale--especially right after I buy something ELSE and spend all my money!
