I'd go with a bow for my wife over another for me.  Otherwise, I'd say an identical 2-piece version of my longbow.

The big Jim buffalo longbow that the wife ordered just before Christmas for me. Should be here this month. Black and white ebony with iron wood in the riser I believe that is what Jim said. With some white glass strips in it and all horned out of course. Can't wait.

56 inch, 56@28 Great Northern Critter Gitter Special with a straight jack knifed grip.  All osage with an action wood core. Man! (as I wipe the drool from my chin), that would be the ticket! But alas - I must shoot this bow in my dreams cause Jerry don't make them anymore.

I've been going through this thread once in a while and I'm glad I don't have the opportunity to order a "dream bow". I've had a couple that I thought were as good as it could possibly be and then wanted to try something different.

I got an RER LXR this year that is the most beautiful bow I've ever owned. It should be my dream bow, but I just ordered a dual-shelf Holm Made River Runner.

I have some bows I'm very proud of and really enjoy shooting. Hope I never order my "Dream Bow" 'cause that'll have to be the end of it then - sell all the others and settle down married to one bow   :)

Mine will be here in a couple of months.  Yellowstone Half-Breed, 60"AMO, Three Piece T/D longbow, #55@28", Grey Actionwood riser black locust limbs.  Every time I think about my bow those few short months get longer and longer.

I would love to have a Takedown Big Jim Buffalo Bow. I have alot of Dream Bows... But a Buffalo is at the top of my list right now. Thunderstick Moab a close second.
Title: Re: Dream bow
Post by: Fattony77 on June 09, 2014, 06:10:00 AM
There's a BUNCH out there that would probably qualify as a "Dream Bow", but I think my first choice would be a Timberghost Take-down with a few different limbs, so it'd be like more than 1 bow.
Title: Re: Dream bow
Post by: 2nocks on June 09, 2014, 07:14:00 AM
Bear T/D with an A riser.

I am truly blessed because I already have my dream bow(s), which are Buffalo bows and Thunderchild bows by Big Jim

Every day at work I look at my bow rack in front of my desk, and I fell ready for whatever will be thrown at me!

Silvertip TD Recurve, say 62" and somewhere between 54-58@30 FF and checkered low grip, Gabboon/ Coccobolo Dymondwood flare handle and Yew limbs...nah I've never thought about it much.

Post by: nightowl1 on June 13, 2014, 06:47:00 PM
The first bow I ever bough was a brand new martin hunter with three different woods in it a grey action wood, Shedua and bubinga? It felt perfect in my hand. I was severely overbowed at 70lbs though so sold it.

So a Martin Hunter made in the 2006 era at 40lbs. I'd pay good money for.

Post by: DVSHUNTER on June 13, 2014, 10:51:00 PM
A Jay Massey selfbow or one of his sinewed bows would be mine. After building selfbow and seeing some of them there's no way, if I had my choice, I would take a production bow over functional, deadly, natural art work... although... If I had to choose glass...it would be a caribow tiagua.  I had one and it was beautiful.
