Do you have that "ONE" bow............

Flying Dutchman · August 05, 2014, 02:44:00 PM

At the moment I narrowed it down to two bows for the reasons you mentioned. It are the Phoenix Whippenstick and the Caribow Peregrine. Last weekend I test-drove a 3 pce LB 60" Timberghost extensive and it gave me also that feeling, so I ordered one

Not anymore. My 65# Wesley Special was that bow, but several years ago, I had a shoulder injury and have not regained the ability to handle that weight again. I do have a HH Cheetah and a Northern Mist Shelton that I am getting very comfortable with.

I'm down to just one but I'm impressed every time I shoot it.

56" 54#@28 Lil' Hoot.

I only own one bow that I shoot. And it's the ONE and only bow I've owned for more than a year. It's my 62", 45#@28" Morrison Cheyenne, B Leadwood riser and D Max 1 carbon/foam limbs.

I sure do. For me it's my Sarrells Sierra longbow. I've looked for several years for a two piece or three piece that shoots as well and that I can connect to as good as I can with my Sierra, but I don't think that exists. If I ever find something that's both easier to travel with AND that shoots as good, I'll become a two bow man. Until then, I buy and sell tons of takedowns just to get the chance to try them out and keep holding onto my Sierra.

I like it so well that I have had my custom knives, calls, and other things made in cocobolo to match it's riser. It's a keeper for sure. I'd just like to add a travel friendly equivalent to the mix for those times I hunt far from home so I could pack the bow, quiver, binoculars, etc in a Pelican case and pile luggage on top of that.

I never had more than two-three bows at any time. I just do like to switch. I am shooting a Robertson Wolfer for elk season but I can shoot my Dakota Pro Hunter and it's feels and shoots like I never stopped shooting it.

Still my RER LXR

Mine would be Ron's River Runner :rolleyes:

I have a 1960 Kodiak that works for me.

Keith Langford · August 05, 2014, 06:21:00 PM

That's good!! [/b]

I am with my friend Keith,when I am shooting well doesn't matter what I am carrying,but when I ain't consistent it is a mess with everyone.

hybridbow hunter · August 05, 2014, 06:39:00 PM

Only a few bows left now but i can shoot decently any of them

longbow fanatic 1 · August 05, 2014, 06:42:00 PM

I can't choose. I love shooting all my bow and shoot them all equally poorly!

Yellow Dog · August 05, 2014, 06:58:00 PM

Nope, the last mental inventory I took I was at 18 longbows and 24 recurves. Probably need to move a few to new homes but when it comes down to it there's about a half dozen in that pile that consistently wind up heading into the woods with me, with a couple of the chosen few being in the pile for 20 plus years. I really appreciate a well put together working piece of art. And that's how I look at them, finely crafted tools that are working pieces of art. A lot of great Bowyers out there over the years.

fmscan · August 05, 2014, 07:24:00 PM

NO, I STINK WITH ALL OF THEM!
