I would have to say my custom predator. Its very very smooth and so accurate. I also love my great plains swift to. But if I had to keep only 1 bow it would be my Predator. Hands down the best bow I have ever shot.........

Owned so many bows looking for the perfect one.

TallTines recurve followed in a close second by Schafer Silvertip recurve (I shot lights out with this bow, but shoulder issues forced me to sell).

My Bear Kodiak T/D... Been "Gonna buy one" for 40 years. Bought one 2 years ago, from Big Jim. It's the last new bow, I'll ever buy!
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!!!

Oh yes, several times. Two years ago at 70 years old I said I had probably bought the last custom bow I would ever buy. I lied!
A man's true measure is not found in what he says, but in what he does.

Well yes, I suppose I have.  I really like my Morrison ILF recurve.  So much that I've really thinned the herd.  Just couldn't look at the other recurves just sitting on the rack.  I also have a light weight Quinn Stallion riser that I had converted to ILF limbs and I like that a lot.

Of course, I'm always looking at the classifieds for another bow to try...

Found mine too! PSRX 60" 51# @ 28" and a BigJim Thunderchild 56" 51# @ 28" Both takedowns.

tomsm44

Yes.  My '66 Kodiak.........and my mid '60s Red Wing Hunter.........and my Flatwoods Custom R/D..........and my late '60s Ben Pearson Hunter..........and my wife's Hoots Custom recurve................

Seriously though, as far as shooting, I prefer the '66 Kodiak.  I just seem to shoot it better.  Only thing is it's a little heavier than I'd prefer at 55#.  Maybe one day I'll pick up one in the 45-50# range.  I do like the shorter 56-58" bows for hunting because they handle easier, but it's usually not to hard to get a spot trimmed back to where the longer bows will work.

Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet, Cadillac 'o' bows.  They almost shoot themselves.  ;)

The ones in my signature.  Have been shooting them for several years and they always make me real happy!

I have been quite impressed by several other bows... the JavaMan Assyrian, the 64" Cari-bow Silver Fox, and the 66" 3-piece TD Toelke Lynx longbow.  But while I'd love to own one of each, I would not trade for either of my Widows.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Sixby

I have, Its such a simple bow. I built it for a backpacking bow in a two piece takedown. Its only 52 inches and is a D and R with the same limb profile as my Strike Eagle recurve. Its very light in weight. will go right into my side quiver or in my pack. Shoots like a big bow and honestly I see no need for any other bow besides it. Strings with no stringer and is just a delightful little bow.

God bless, Steve

After many bows, I've found my "one" bow in a Black Widow PMA.  This bow was built for my with bamboo (v) limbs and a greybark (II) riser that has laminations of bamboo in it.  My extra, heavier autumn oak/grey bark combo limbs add to the appeal.  There are other great bows that are fun to shoot, but this one is king.

Wow! I sure hope not. Then I'd have to sell all the rest and some of them I just couldn't bear to part with.
