Title: Pictures of your "Harem" of Bows
Post by: Arkansaslongbow on June 06, 2012, 12:19:00 AM
I know that there are multiple members here with enough bows in the house to start your own bow company; may I ask for some pictures of your hard-earned collection and if you don't mind, your go-to bow for hunting; be done before but it's off season..............please?

Oh, this is gonna be good to see all these bows. Like a beauty patent.

But, Uh, hmmm? If I post a picture of my collection, I might realize I have a problem.

I have hunted with many of these at one time or another  (http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/bjornweb/DSCN2344.jpg)
and these too.....
(http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/bjornweb/DSCN2338.jpg)
The past several years the ACS bows that are strung they get out hunting
The upper bows haven't been out recently
(http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/bjornweb/DSCN2339.jpg)
The bottom two have seen lots of hunting action.

It's hard enough to spring cash from my wife w/o saying I'm going to "invest it in my harem". These are some impressive collections, though.

Duncan,
#6 is a Damon Howatt Montery from the early 60s with black glass and green conquistador logo.

#7 is a mid 60s Root Gamemaster.

Are they the ones?
