When the chips are down, zero hour has arrived, it's all on the line what bow do go to. While standing at the bow rack with my hand shaking it go's towards a hybrid longbow made by a local bowyer. I know her well she files the hand with a comfortable weight. A neat little 58" bow pulling 55 ponds at 28 inches made by Miami Valley ( Rick Wrey). What's your go to bow?
Morrison Dakota :thumbsup:
Hornes Traditionalist, I just shoot that bow better than the others, and I have no idea why :dunno:
Blacktail Elite
Two Tracks Ambush recurve...for now :D
Quinn stallion, #50,60", the deer will die, and hopefully a few turkeys too!
St Joe River recurve!

I think it might be my new Don Dow Stik
Pronghorn l/b for me.
a Wesley Special by Hill
Morrison Shawnee for me!
Morrison Cheyenne 47#@29" :archer:
My Bear greenstripe takedown is the go-to bow now. After I refinish my old A-mag it may be a toss up.
I shoot a longbow for fun, but I shoot the Bear takedowns with more accuracy.
69" 67#@29" Hill Longbow by Ted Kramer
55lb @ 68 inches Wes Wallace Royal.

Uh......Hmmmm........lets see........Oh yeah, the only bow I have- my Pittsley Predator Classic. That's okay though, it's the only one I need. :) :) :)

I've been shooting 3 recurves very regularly and almost equally all summer; Bear TD Supreme A handle, 1-piece Blacktail Elite VL, and Pittsley Predator Anniversary. Some others have been on the rack most of the time. I will receive weight reduced limbs for my 58" Widow PSAIII in 10 days or so. I don't know the answer to this question right now. The good news is I feel confident hunting with all of them. If I had to choose now...If in my ground blind I'll use the 56" Bear. If in my treestand I'd pick the Pittsley. If the weight reduction on the Widow "works" it could slip in there. This decision could get boogered around November 31st if I have unfilled tags when a 1-piece Brandon Stahl Super Wildcat is due! It is an easier question for me to know which bows won't be in the hunting woods. I like all of these no-goes but not as much as the others (No Goes: Fox High Sierra, Hoyt Gamemaster, Pittsley Custom Classic, Bear TD Supreme B Handle). I shoot left-eye dominant. I should "move" two of the above no-goes. I'm not a collector (at least I don't intend to be) but I'm going through an intense "get acquainted" period as I get back into traditional. Sheesh...I have a LH try-out Schafer Silvertip coming next week --- I hope I don't like it!
BW MA III 54@28
Kohannah Kurve 49@28.
67#@27'' 60'' Firehawk,This bow has put more then 2 ton of meat on the ground. Of course with Moose it add up fast.
Rodney.
Pronghorn LB, only because the Ferret is a bit much in weight any more.
60" 58# Kwyk Styk Or my 60" 57# Shawnee/Dakota... Depending on if I decide it's a LB or RC sort of day :wavey:
49 lb Chekmate Hunter 56.
H'bird Kingfisher-51#@28 ,drawn to 29+.
60# @ 27", 60" Blacktail Elite. She feels great in the hand, draws smooth as silk, hits where I'm aiming, and even with a few beauty marks from the wilderness shes still pretty to look at too.

A little less common but it's the one I'll depend on for "the" shot:
A Bill Pfleger 60" 58#@28" Vermilion Rivers TD recurve. It's the quietest of the bows on the rack including the Morrisons, BWs, Bob Lee, Black Swan, few more. Just as dead in the hand and as fast as any of comparable weight. Shoots right on the money. Dollar for dollar, the best value, too. And easy on the eye.

I'm undecided.
I am afraid to try to say because I have been known to put a couple in the truck and make the choice at the very last second before I lock the door to the truck and head into the woods.
Have a good and Godly day!
God bless,Mudd
