I made that decision two years ago. Got rid of all my other bows when my Blacktail arrived. After shooting and hunting with it, I realized that every minute spent with any other bow was a less meaningful minute.

However, nothing at all wrong with collecting and shooting lots of bows. I have more than one of other things,like fly rods, banjos, friends, guns, etc.

This one:



My HH Halfbreed 60# @ 29" and it's a good thing since that's the only one I have.

  :D

Its hard to pick just one.but I quess it would be my 70 kodiak mag.

I can't answer that question *^).

Right on!!

I'm very happy with my Big River Longbow, the only other bow I would need would be another Big River Longbow!

OK I love my Mags for ducks or hunting in a blind but for "hunting target and 3D" it would be the second to the last bow in my collection I would have picked. Care to elaborate on your post a bit? Really curious about your reasons for your choice.

It would definitely be my Black Widow PSA recurves in the 62# @ 28" vintage... I prefer the V series (Ironwood)but I have the II and III in the same weight also!

A Hill Any Hill!

Prolly my 60" Super Shrew Deluxe, not too short, not too long, 54lb @ 30" = plenty of hp for most anything, light enough to carry all day but not too light for good shootin. Its my go anywhere do anything bow. Oh yea, it shoots like your favorite bow should!

I always wanted just one but in my area they breed like rats and now I get 70 and I can not let them go,damn. Felix

Nice collection Felix.

It gets tougher to find a favorite, will it be the Bear TD with the Rose Oak limbs, the Robinson Peregrine or Purist, Schulz LB, Miller LB, dang. So I decided to take a bunch of not being used, to a dealer to sell. At least now I have few spaces on the bow rack for something new.

I discovered a few years ago, that it is tougher for me to switch back and forth and still shoot good and I shoot better if I stick with one bow.  I am still trying........

Pick what you feel most comfortable shooting, try a few out, beg, borrow, trade or whatever, it's cheaper that way.

Defintiley my Quinn Stallion, #50, a killing machine!

You are right Barry,with a single bow you shoot better,but this is what we love,this is what we dream, I just love to touch and shoot bows.In the meanwhile your Type1 B riser will arrive in mid Feb. nobody touched it.Felix

No way I could get down to just 1 bow.    My 2 favorites are my Zipper SXT and my Black Widow PSA.

Any of John Brooks' bows...He makes awesome bows here in Indiana.

It would be tough...probably my Horne's Traditionalist. Here's some of my bows.

as long as its a Hill style bow 66" 53# @ 27" , with just a touch of string follow and all yew lams i'd be pretty happy...

Because that's what I started out with when I was younger.I hunt out of ladder stands and can draw my bow with out standing up. and I can't do that with 58" & 60" bows.I use it for target and 3D shoots.I have longer bows but don't feel the need to shoot anything else.

Thanks Big Bird.......confidence in a bow is a great reason to pick it as your "all around bow"

Perish the thought!    
The rule about having only one woman in my life I can handle.  
But one bow????  
Why????  :p    

I'm surprised that I'm saying this because, among other reasons, it sat nearly unshot on the shelf for a year: Border Griffon GL longbow! I swore I was a recurve guy!
