Who has the one bow that you would like to have back? You either sold traded, lost ,broke or what ever. Mine is HH Wesley Special 66" 57#@27" clear glass and an ebony riser locater grip. That bow fit me well and I could shoot decent. Sold it thinking there was something better out there, I have a Northern Mist Sheldon now that comes close but is not the Hill. Hind vision is always 20/20. If the Wesley is out there I would buy her back.

Hardly a week ever goes by without me regretting selling my Fox Royal Crown.   Was by far the best bow I ever had out of the 20 plus custom bows.  It had a grip that just pointed and the arrows would go straight to the spot.   Best finish of any bow - period.  

I took a look the other day and they are expensive now, long waiting list, the Aussie dollar is low and it is expensive to bring a one-piece into the country.   Unfortunately, Perhaps this is a bow I will never own again, so memories will have to suffice I think.

One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action .... is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation

Goshawkin

I have 2. A JD Berry Serpentine that I had built years ago. Gorgeous wood,python skinned,carved snake head limb tips and shot great.I traded it for another really nice bow.

An Elburg 2 piece Jaguar Mite. Osage limbs with purple heart/cocobolo? riser. It was a neat bow,but I sold it. I know someone that wants the bow bad and I think it would be pretty cool to find it for him.

Whip

There are two I would like to have back of the many I have bought and sold over the years.
My very first recurve was an Asbell era Colorado Bighorn.  Nothing special, but a good shooter, and being my first would be cool to find again.

The other is an RER XR recurve that I had custom made for me.  It was a great shooter, but I wasn't shooting it enough to justify keeping and wanted something else at the time (which has since long been sold off)  The XR was available not too long ago when I didn't have the funds to buy it back.  I'm still hoping that eventually it will find its way back home.

The "Legolas" bow.  A dwyer defiant that 1screagle sold me then asked for it back.  It was Corey Dwyers personal bow where he pulled out all the stops with the intent of using one season then selling.  Sue dwyer told me that if you we're to order that same bow it would probably be the most expensive bow they've made.  More importantly it was the perfect weight, put the first arrow on the mark and like all shorter semi-flat longbows was made to hunt.  Don't think Ken will sell it back, but he better not leave it alone at a shoot... Just saying   :saywhat:

I am odd man out, I do not regret getting rid of any of my bows.  I do have a few that I will never get rid of though.

I have had some very good bows that ended in the hands of good friends and family. I do not regret those changing hands. In fact, I relish the fact that they are in good hands and I helped them into traditional archery.

My Kota prairie swift arch royale. Beautiful bow with a grip that fit me perfectly. Was accurate and fast. Think of that bow quite often. Keep watching the classified's for it.

66" reverse handle hill style made by John McDonald. I've had plenty of bows since that were faster, prettier, smoother, etc. But none that were as fluid to shoot. Anytime I'm shooting, that big river is always in the back of my mind. Maybe someday it will wander back home  ;)

Easykeeper

64" McCullough Griffin.  I'm a recurve guy but I still regret selling that bow.

TxAg

A 64" Whip in the low 40s. I traded it away for a heavier one. I like them around 50 now, but would love to have that low 40s back.

woodchucker

My 1967 Bear Kodiak Magnum that my ex-wife sold on Craigslist during our separation.....
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Daz

A 67# Crow Creek BlackFeather that was amazing. My buddy's wife wanted it for him, and she knows that i won't say no to her or her family. One smile from her,a fist full of dollars, and away it went.

But he is now lusting after another bow of mine, so i may have it back for elk season this year...   :D
Less anger, more troubleshooting...

My MA widow that was Bolivian rosewood.  Sold it because I was young and dumb I suppose but I feel like I think about it every day.

The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

On the *********** I said my Martin Lynx, but on here I will say my 1964 Kodiak...sold it because I needed some cash and the good will that goes with selling it for not a whole lot of money...I shot that bow better than anything else I have owned...on a good day at 20 yards I would aim at the nocks of other people's arrows and hit pretty close
I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42
