Lets see here, 1,2,3....oops, too many. !["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
I took out the picture of the Howards, not too nice for those who still have not had a chance to start a collection of their favorite bowyer(s).
Hmmm, :confused: What bows, so many great bowyers out there.
I still would like a Windauer longbow.
Grizzy LB by Mike, BW PA-X
My old Groves Mag I, I sold it to an archer in NY, still miss that bow. Still kick myself selling that one!

Okay...
One that belonged to Ishi...
One that belonged to an English archer that fought at Agincourt...
One that belonged to Ishmael...
One that belonged to a San bushman who actually used it to survive (not the tourist trap bows)...
One that belonged to one of my ancient ancestors that was used to hunt with in the forests of Europe...
And perhaps one that Art Young used to kill a lion...
Not too much to ask, eh?

Sometimes I have different dream every night during the week. Makes it tough to decide.
Sadly, but thank goodness I have not had the opportunity to shoot a great deal of the wonderful bows out there.
I can only think of three.
1. Habu Vyperkahn w/triple carbon -- fortunately own
2. Dream TC -which is in the oven
3. Mohawk - Hope I won't get the opportunity to shoot one at Cloverdale.

I just hope my kids grow up to love archery. They just made some beautiful arrows. Kye from Great Basin sent them some footed shafts. Ali's were just dipped so feathers she spliced today go on(she is 6 yrs). Pictures coming soon.I got them brain washed now, they think GOLF is a bad word. I am not joking! :biglaugh: O.L.Adcock made some wonderful bows, oh how they shoot! Norm Johnson sure has some beautiful bows. I am starting to get dizy, I better stop here!

If I named the one I shoot best it would be "The Stick" hands down. No matter how hard I try with the others, I still shoot groups inside the others with The Stick.
Wow, when I saw this "name 6" I thought it would be easy but the "rule" caused me to leave some off!

I really wish I ordered the Saluki Scythian I optioned it out and it would have been over 1000 dollars which I really didn't want to spend. Maybe next year I'll order one =).

Would be one of Howard Hill's personal bows, one that he took something exotic with, or one of Fred Bears Super Kodiaks that he hunted with. etc. etc. etc. You see the pattern. I would rather have a bow with history, not an expensive custom. I would just enjoy re-telling the stories the "bow" had to offer! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

1) Any bow that Howard Hill owned,how cool would it be to have "Gran-Ma" or "SweetHeart" in your collection!
2) one of the bows Bob Swinehart used hunting in Africa
3) For Pete George to make a bow to my specs(This actually may need to be moved to #1) :D
4)"White Mountain" by Pete George
5)Any Timberline longbow
6)A Shrew classic Hunter.With a nasty,gnarly,burly figured walnut riser with curly birdseye maple limbs and walnut tips,named "Gobbler Getter" 52" 50#@26"
Have to add a #7,A winning lotto ticket,so I could maybe pull off the above 6!

I only want two bows:
1) two-piece take down Big Jim Buffalo or two-piece take down Bama Royal Expedition in a nice hunting weight for myself -- Either with highly exotic woods, beavertail grip, and horn overlays
2) matching two-piece take down take down, also loaded up, for my wife to go to 3d shoots with me and shoot with me in the back yard
I can only shoot one at a time anyway.

2) A Toelke whip 62" and 55 lb@28"(have this one)
3) A 62" one piece curve from Kirk at Bigfoot bows(60 lb@28")
4) I cannot think of anything else...except a 20-25 lb @26" longbow by any tradgang sponsor(I would like to teach some people in my life how to shoot)
That said, I will be content with my one bow. I am a college student and I am fortunate to have a good bow.

Not necessarily in order.
Dakota recurve, Tried one when I took Ricks class
Gamemaster Jet, Kack Howard was a perfectionist
Silvertip, I admire Paul Schafer.
Dryad Orion w/ACS RC limbs, These two because of
Centaur Carbon Elite, performance reports
Legends Tornado,
I have a Legends Tornado, it's a lot of bow for the money and Mike Rash is a great guy and gives excellent customer service.
