You guys know what I'm talking about when I say it is a bow that fits you and is a part of you .So how many of you are a one bow guy when it comes to hutning. Have a bow that is a hunting /killing machine

One that you always hunt with    

I used to buy a new bow every other year or so , I'm still tempted but don't do it because I know they will just sit on the rack      

What about you guys?????

I have a Whisperstik mojo that just shoots great , this is my goto bow and has taken many animals for me. Most recently a nice black bear in New Brunswick.

Jack,
I aspire to do as you do.  I'm still in the experimentation phase though.  A new Schafer however is the bow I'm hoping will become my go to as well.

I think that any one of at least 10 bows I have could be that bow if I truly wanted it to be. I'm going to have to figure out a way to objectively evaluate these bows.

I've already spoken about my special bow. But since you asked, here it is again.

I have two Blacktails I really love. They're almost neck and neck with regards to being my sole favoite. However, my 37# bow is my favorite. It can take any animal in Texas I want to hunt and I can shoot it for 4 straight hours before I notice my shots start going away.

With these two bows, my need for the "another bow" syndrome has come to an end.

Had a Bois d Arc selfbow,felt like I could not miss.Killed bear and deer with it.It is now in 2 pieces in my closet. Think I have found THE BOW again sum 3 months ago after many attempts.Waiting not so patiently to hunt with her this fall.A Cari-bow Slynx has became my new mistress.

Mines a 62" 63#@31" Morrison Cheyenne. I had Bob built me it early last year & it's just an exension of my left arm. I have many other bows, all spectaculary nice, but this one is now & will probably always be my first choice bow.
The grip is like shaking hands with an old friend, the weight is perfect -not too heavy, not too light- the mass is just heavy enough to stay on target without being so heavy that I get sick of carrying it. It's quick, it's quiet & it just hits where I'm looking.

I've had more than my fair share of bows (including a silvertip). The only ones that have really fit me as well as you describe are my Habu and Hoyt Gamemaster

My Belcher Union jack ... its just my " go to " bow ...

Before I retired her ... My Hill Halfbreed ... took over a dz pigs with it , numerous goats and three foxes ...

Bowwild, When you figure it out, please let me know!    -John

Way to go JW & the rest of you guys relying on one bow! Wish my one true favorite always made it into the woods. No secret my Hills find good favor. To choose one is impossible. Pre & early season finds me with less draw weight. Mid to late I'll take the longer Tembo for pure fun & confidence.

Yeah I moved from bow to bow over the years but the Schafers are friendly to me .

My dad gave me his sweeet sixteen about 2 years ago and one of my buddies said you should restore it. Never would I do that , it tells soooo many stories.

I hope some day my Schafers do the same.

I like my Big River Although I haven't killed but a frog with it so far.

i've killed alot of deer w/ my schafer.

if there is a better bow for hunting i haven't found it. they were made for the woods..

I go back and forth between Black Widows and Shafers. Right now it's a 58" Shafer t/d recurve and a 64" Black Widow PLV longbow...been shooting the Shafer exclusively for the past 3 months or so

Got a Fox Triple Crown does everything better than any bow I have shot

Schafer Silvertip!!

My Lost Creek seems to suit me real well, does the job when I do mine.

My "Go To" bow is a Bear "A" Mag riser takedown with #1 limbs...

i have an old bear compass kodak that has been a companion of many years, there is a strong "spirit" in this bow. We have trraveled well together.....
