Have you ever regretted selling or trading a particular bow and wish that you could have gotten it back.  Tell us about it.
If it isn't life or death, it's no big deal.

Kevin Dill

Just one and it hurts too much to talk about.

Why did you have to remind me!!! I hate to admit it, but I sold my beautiful Shrew CH and have been beating myself up over it ever since.  I didn't give myself enough time with it... after waiting a year for it.  When I was packaging it up for shipping it felt like I was burying my dog!!!!  Maybe I should give Ron La Clair a call soon.

Yep my 64in ACS but i plan on ordering another with the 16in riser and a little heavier.

My ony regret to date is that the sight window on my ex-H56, Little Mo, was too short for my shooting style. I absolutely loved that little bow, just couldn't shoot it w/o radically changing my style & anchor point.  So being I sold it...

Yep......I sure did. I had a one-piece Hummingbird Alpha Male that I sold to "Big Striper" up in Michigan. Beautiful bow, that I shot VERY WELL. I know that he is as happy with it as I was.

Oh well.....I will own another one, it's on my "to own" list.

Oh ya!  A Toelke Whip I owned for a short time, oh and a special little Kanati...

Funny timing with this thread, contemplating selling my 56" great northern super ghost to offset the cost of my new to me shrew.  the voices in my head are telling me i will regret it if i do and to find a way to keep them both.

The 1st Whip that Dan Toelke made me, a dark black/red Cocobolo riser with dark highly figured Zebrawood veneers. Short story is I got stupid and sold it and have regretted it ever since. I have ended up with one Whip and the Lion's share of my shooting is with Dan's D bows and I have a very special one coming soon but I still miss that 1st Whip.

George D. Stout

There is none that I fret over but there are a few I shot well and should have kept.   One that comes to mind was a Northern Mist Superior longbow, bamboo limbs...may be the best longbow I ever owned.

bow loving man

Yep a 21 century nova that had been reworked by Jeff Massey and had his finish on it...

bear1336

Yep my first Bear A mag I sold in the late 70's or early 80's.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

WildmanSC

My first Dale Stahl T/D recurve.  I bought it used and shot it for quite awhile, for me.  It was sort of plain jane compared to some of the other Dale Stahl bows I've owned.  It had a Bubinga riser with a gray action arch stripe down the center of the riser.  The limbs were red elm.  the bow was, and still is, a phenomenal shooter.

I sold it to the owner of The Archery Shop.  I've tried to buy it back from him dozens of times over the past 6 years or so and he just laughs at me.  I also sold my first Crow Creek Black Feather longbow to him and he still has it.  He killed a fox with it the last weekend of our deer season at 25 yards.

No, but I got a Bob Lee Sig Recurve that I should sell, because we need the $, but can't get myself to do it.

reddogge

Yes, and I have pictures of 2 out of 3.

My first real hunting bow, a new 1967 Bear Grizzly with which I killed my first deer. I traded it in on a Root Gamemaster which I wish I still had but don't have a picture of it.
 
The next was a 1972 Super Diablo I traded for a Colt pistol at a New Year's Eve party.

Almost sold my 1st hunting LB (Proline Saxon 68" & 75#@28") a few times. Bow is 30+ years old & shoots just as good as the day I bought it. Lately, discovered its maker, quality & value & that it is a first from Proline. Whew! Happy endings.
