My St. Joe River longbow! This is my second year with the same bow. Pretty amazing since I've never had the same one for more than a season, LOL!
Tracey recently did some grip tweaking for me and now it's a part of my arm.    :saywhat:     I now know what people mean by a "go to" bow.    ;)    
60 inch, 53@28, bamboo/carbon core, maple/spalted maple riser, Oliverstacey D-97 10 strand string.

My recently acquired Silvertip Wolverine. For a 56" Long bow, it really casts an arrow with authority. I  guess I shouldn't be surprised, after all it is a Silvertip  :)

Shhhhh.....she's resting.
(http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss116/joekeithspics/Archery/bows/Big%20Horn/015.jpg)
She hangs in my living room where I can look at her and admire her at any time.  I fell in love with this bow the first time I saw a pic of her.  Lucky me, cause I bought her and she fits me as though made just for me, couldn't fit better.  :bigsmyl:

ya, as of right now he is working on a take down model and a shorter model. think he is biulding a few to pass around so people can test them out. i cant wait to try one of his shorter take downs (if he does the pass around), if it shoots like this one ill have to buy it

I traded Donald Rowan a beautiful Caribow "Silver Fox" 3 pc L/B that he had origionally ordered and at a weak moment let go of... He wanted it back pretty badly and I wanted to try out a Tall Tines... I think we are both happy     :thumbsup:

I have shot a few bows and I have four that make me giddy as I pull them down from the rack.

I sold this Centaur as it was too light for me but it would definitely fit into the make you smile catagory and I am always on the lookout for another.
