My bow rack was looking quite empty for a while, but things are looking up! Only one more slot left to fill. What should I get?

It looks like you'll need another longbow to help balance out the longbow/recurve ratio.
A "LONG" String Follow Northern Mist !!
I'd buy another bow rack :bigsmyl:
Some good suggestions so far! I especially like the Northern Mist idea. I don't think I could get away with another rack, though....
I've got room to store some for you. :archer:
A widow would work also
From one Alaskan (Fbks) to another, I think you need a Widow! :thumbsup:
Definitly get another bow rack, Nice collection Chuck!
Just get another riser for those lonely limbs below!
Nice collection you have there.
Chuck: I think you should pick up a new Big Jim Buffalo LB, a Dan Toelke Chinook, and may a Widow LB or Recurve. Then another Rack that holds at least 12, and you will set for a couple for a few months. Good luck
I don't see a shrew on the rack.

Who makes those top 2 longbows? I like the profiles!
Are those black risered takedowns quinns? If so I can take one off your hands! LOL! Jason
I think the black take downs are Groves.
No problem, I'd take one of those to! LOL! Jason
A foam core limb Morrison Cheyenne recurve would be a wonderful addition
Dryad ILF with longbow limbs would look pretty nice right there.
If I was you I would do half of those bows the justice of less company and send them to me to store for you,lol. Lots of empty space on my rack lol!
I think you should add a Shrew Model T. It would round out the collection nicely!
YOU need a super shrew deluxe,,,nice lookin bows,could u let us now what they are???
I have somewhat the same problem and I am looking at getting a shorter riser for an extra set of limbs that I have lying around.
Jason K: The top one is a 64" Kota Prairie Nomad, and the other is a 62" Crow Creek Blackfeather, which I recieved in the mail yesterday from Flinthead (thanks Roy.)
Jason C: Nope. They are Groves Spitfire Mag II's. The upper one is mine, the lower one is my daughter's, and the limbs below are the originals (70# @ 29") for my bow. I just can't eat enough Wheaties any more to pull 70#! I traded my Kanati for my daughter's bow and the extra limbs on my Groves. I need to get another Kanati...I just couldn't miss with that bow. Jason K: You are going to make a 62" Kanati some day, right?
Larry: I would like to try a Shrew some time. I'm just preferring 62"-64" bows these days. Seem to be easier on my arms. Almost bought a 64" Griffin, but the draw weight was a bit much.
Almost forgot. The bottom bow is a Shakespear Wonderbow, which I used to take my first bow killed whitetail in the early 70's. The next is a Damon/Howatt Mamba, and the longbow is my wife's Tradtech Pinnacle II.
If you try a shrew or Thunderchild your mind will be changed,Guaranteed !
Try making a bow, it'll mean that much more to you.
I may have to do that one of these days, Dan. I see that you just registered today. Welcome to Tradgang!
Whoops. I think my post may have come out pithier than I meant it to. I too enjoy looking at bow porn. I was looking at Robertson, Navajo and Shrew earlier today and dreaming of the Permanent Fund Dividend.
Thanks for the welcome. I've looked at the site off and on but never bothered to register. Don't know why. Laziness probably. I'm new to Alaska. Trying to sort through the hunting regs, draws, permits, licenses, guide requirements, blood and stool samples and the like. Ick.
Another trad guy up here in Delta Junction told me I should join up. So 'Voila'.
I made a yew longbow with Jay St. Charles back in 2001, while it doesn't shoot as sweetly as my Caddo, I think I'll be more proud seeing it handed down to the generations since it has my name on it and I made it, with a lot of help from Jay of course. I still have the memories of the drawknife working its magic from billet to bow. We even went out looking at Yew trees in the National Forest.
Fiberglass shoots so sweet and will last forever, so we hope, but a wood self bow just smacks of the natural order of things.
Crap, I'm a hypocritical wooden bow snob and just realized it. Off to look at more knife and bow pics.
