That is a great collection of bows. But you said the dreaded words that haunt me, in the form of my wife reminding me that I to said, "I'm done buying and trading bows.". She now tells me to not even bother saying I'm done dealing. Seriously you have some really nice bows!

Naw, you do not hate me Bubba,LOL. you are just envious,LOL. Yep, be good to hunt with you again.
RLA, I have owned, at one time or another all of the top end bows and then some, probably been through well over a hundred bows in the last several years and everyone on here knows how I go through bows,LOL. But I can honestly say that I have the bows I want now, no others out there for me to try,LOL. I am happy with my selection and they all fit me well. Only thing that might tempt me would be a 1970 Type 1 Bear A or B riser or a 59/60 Kodiak in a 60# weight at a decent price.

Beautiful collection of bows, but I noticed a glaring flaw. You only had a picture of 1 arrow rack. With only 1 rack of bows, it seems you still have a lot of shopping left to do. But, at least, that is a real good start.

Danny,
I agree with Sam. It looks like you got a couple of spots left to hang a couple of more bows. Don't stop now! You might want to buy another bow rack to fill!!!!

Danny,
Will this be your first Silvertip? I just received one that is new to me. It's 64", 54#@30", 48#@28" (my draw length), and it's a real sweet shooting bow. Mine is Bocote riser with Zebrawood veneers. It will be the first one to go into the woods with me when I go to WV in two weeks! After my first deer I'll take my new Marriah Thermal.

Of course I am still interested in the Signature,LOL.There is always room for one of those!!
Bill,
No, I have owned a couple, this will be my first brand new from Dave, they are shooters.
I lived in Goose Creek from 82 to 85 when I was in the Navy.

Danny,
We've been here since March 1976 when the Navy brought us here. Where did you live in Goose Creek?
This is my first Silvertip, too. And I love it. I may place a new one on order before I retire so I can pay it off while it's being built! :)
