If you lost all your bows, which one bow would you buy if you had to shoot it for one year or longer?
Give name/model of longbow or recurve:
What poundage and length:
I will start-mine would be a Centaur "Chimera XLT" 44#@28" and 62" length.

Widow PCH - 56", 54 lbs at 28", Asbell grip

60" Bruin Woodsmaster T/D recurve 45-50# @ 28". I could shoot this bow the rest of my life and never really go wanting.

I'd be making a call to Big Jim for another Thunderchild, but it would be a really long year waiting .

Any JD Berry 64" 60#

medic77 · January 18, 2012, 08:56:00 PM

58" Morrison Shawnee LB 60@26 with all the fancies. I could just see it now, she is beautiful.

If I survived losing all my Toelke bows, I would order another 62" Classic Whip, 50lbs. @28" (53 lbs. or so at my 29" draw).

30coupe · January 18, 2012, 09:05:00 PM

Another Kanati with about the same specs as the one I already have: 58" and 45-50# @ 28". I'd probably opt for an actionwood riser instead of dymondwood. I can't imagine finding a bow I'd like or shoot any better.

njloco · January 18, 2012, 09:08:00 PM

If we're talking about custom, it would be my Leon Stewart 64" or 66". If were talking about production bows, It would have to be either a 1964 or 1965 Bear Kodiak, all 50 @ 28.

Ben Maher · January 18, 2012, 09:14:00 PM

a Black Widow PLX Osage Longbow .....
66" 55# @ 28" .....

I would buy a shrew classic hunter, 50lb @27"

Fletcher · January 18, 2012, 09:24:00 PM

I'm kinda messing with that decision right now. Probably either a 62" Great Northern Critter Gitter,
or a 58" Centaur glass, both low 50's at 26".

Cyclic-Rivers · January 18, 2012, 09:26:00 PM

I know I would like another Big River R/D longbow.

If I could only have one, it would be 68" and 47-48 lbs @28"

fmscan · January 18, 2012, 09:29:00 PM

I would be at Leon Stewarts tomorrow morning for a Slammer Special - 64in. and 45# pulling my hair out trying to decide on what wood to pick....
