What do you to consider the best bow you ever owned, and what happened to it?

Mine was an original OL Adcock ACS/CX that lasted 6 years, then just blew.  I've tried the new ones but they're not in the same league that one was.

My best is my Legends Cyclone. smooth, quiet, quick, and hits where I aim. Workmanship is great, and the rosewood/bocote/myrtle combo is easy on the eyes. It's stil mine, and isn't going anywhere.

I had a 15" Bob Lee riser and a set of longbow limbs I bought used.It was the best shooting bow I ever used.It blew this past summer and I had Bob Lee make a new pair .They turned out a different width and profile and no longer balanced or shot or looked like a Hybred they  looked like a recurve limb.My best bow totally does not fit me now and has no soul.Kip

Mine would have to be my L/H SA2 Black Widow had it since 2000 and killed a lot of game with it. Killed 3 deer this year with it.  

The 2nd best would be my Martin Mamba That thing has took a beating for 15 years of bow fishing. Bounced around in the boat and out of the boat and into the Mississippi River twice. It is covered with Carp eggs from years of use.

I bought a Ma Greybark Widow at the Whittingham shoot in New Jersey. It was 62" 51# @ 29" and made in the early 90's. I paid $375 in 2007, shot and hunted with it for about 5 years. Took it on my first bear hunt.......I shot it well. Then in a moment of stupidity......I sold it to buy something else.   :banghead:  What a dumb A$$   :dunno:

Schulz Legend, I had to make changes for wear and tear of my release fingers, so now Jacques Bonin has it.

I love to shoot Hill style bows but the best bow I have ever shot is a 21st Century Nova and I still have it.  Got a couple of squirrels with it this morning.

The best bow is a Black Widow MAII Graybark 60# @ 28".  It was a Christmas present from my wife in  1991.  I still shoot it and shoot it very well.  The one that I covet is my Jack Howard Gamemaster 60# at 28" that I bought new from Jack in 1967 and it isn't going anywhere.

I traded for a Martin Hunter last year. I really thought no big deal. I will shoot it some and sell it to one of my buddies for a starter bow.  I was wrong. The selfbow bug has bit me recently but that Hunter stays and will get woods time from here on out.
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

Habu vyperkahn double carbon longbow limbs...literally shot heat seeking arrows...I wasn't crazy with how it "looked" so I sold it one day.  I've been in bow purgatory since.  Complete idiot.
