Leon Stewart one piece osage longbow 62" 50@28". That thing was so quiet when I shot over deer they would not even pick up their head!  :(

I've owned 3 compounds, 2 of which I've sold with no regrets. But after reading this thread I think I better start explaining to my wife that I'll need to keep every trad bow I own or will ever own. I've only been into the curves & LB's a couple years but find it amazing how attached I have become to some of my sticks & string.  

Schafer silvertip, have owned more since then but none like that one!!

I traded my first black widow to a DR. in N.C.

Well, I'm the odd man out.  No regrets on anything I've sold so far......

A Great Norther Ghost Recurve. In so many ways it was the most amazing recurve I have ever shot. Lost my job and waited until I was unemployeed for 4 months to put it up for sale and it sold so fast I didn't have time to reconsider. The guy that bought it sold it to someone else since.
I also sold a Kota Longbow I miss, an Anderson Skookum I found ayt a garage sale (he didn't know what it was and neither did I. 44# @28" and Beautiful, bought it for 50 bucks. Took it to a 3D in California and an older gentleman saw it and asked if it was a Skookum and asked if he could shoot it and offered me 800 for it on the spot. A 64#  Osage Selfbow a guy traded me for a 65# double shelf longbow I had that a local UPS driver saw me shooting in John McCready's back room. He was a compound shooter and the selfbow just intrigued him. So I turn a wheel bow guy into a trad guy by selling him that bow cheap. I also had to sell all my Bear collectables in the year I was unable to work after my open heart surgery.I miss all of them. The 1952 Kodiak 62#, the '59 Grizzly 80#, '57 Kodiak Special 72#,the '66 Kodiak Hunter 54#. I'm gonna go cry in my coffee now.

I had a Norm Johnson Blacktail that was 62"s and 62#s at 28"s. I shot that as well as any bow I ever owned. It would be a bit heavy for me now with my shoulders but I would have some 51-54# limbs made for it. I once hit 10 out of 12 at the Muzzy shoot which if ya have ever shot it is pretty darn good. I have seen it up for sale once or twice but have never had the cash at thje time! One day!! Shawn

TimberHawk    Osage 50#@28                        

Great Northern Critter Gitter Special, 58" 60@28".
Bought it here sold it here. Almost identical to the bow I now covet at The Noking Point. Oh well.

A Bear "Bruin" longbow, not because its that great of a bow, just because I shot my first deer with it. I know the guy thats got it, but he won't sell it back. Bad thing is he never shoots bows anymore. Maybe some day.

Too many to mention, but the one that stands out would the Super Shrew Deluxe Limited I sold.  Been kicking myself ever since.  I will get another Shrew though.

This one.. A morrison shawnee with dakota limbs...

 

A plain, very old, Elk River Hill-style longbow.
It was the smoothest, quietest, least handshock,fastest, and best tillered Hill bow I ever shot. I get mad at myself just thinking about it...

I miss my martin howatt hunter it realy is a sweet recurve    . -Scott

A striped ebony veneered, striped ebony riser 66" 58@29.5" takedown Royal made for me by Wes Wallace. That bow just shot where I looked. I took my first deer with that bow, one of the biggest mulies where I hunt. I wasn't foolish enough to sell it, it was stolen when I shipped it for refinishing. But, after three shoulder surgeries, I shouldn't be shooting it anyway.

I bought and sold a truckload of Bear and Browning recurves back in the 80's during my compound days.  I'd buy them for $15.00-$20.00 at garage sales and sell them for $50.00 or so to help fund my newest most improved wheeled contraption and thought I was doing the right thing.

LOL, now you can't find one at a garage sale, I'd like to have all of them back.  

The one bow of all time I'd most like to have was a 60" 1-Piece Bighorn (Asbell Era) Recurve.  Great shooting bow.  

I'm having a blast trying to find a bow as nice as it though.

Trap

Early 70's 50# Brazilian Rosewood Super Diabalo. Smooth as silk and fast as lightning. I sold it and bought a compound. Shame, shame, shame.
