U could only have one bow what would it be?

If I could have only one Bow it would be ....a tragedy.

The OWL in the picture would get the nod. If I were going to choose a lam bow it would be really difficult but I think I'd have Jim Neaves build me a Centaur.

I would like a 3 piece takdown longbow with straight riser and straight limbs (reflexed a little) using the ACS cross section. 70" long, 45# @ 29".

My Trails End take down recurves have served me well since 1988.I guess I would go with my 60" Trails End. But I don't have to chose only one bow...so...I ordered a shorter bow.

It suddenly dawned on me, the correct answer is:

TRADITIONAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have mine, an Appalachian Archery Middle Mountain longbow, 66" 57#@26". It was my first trad bow and it'll be my last. In the meantime, I'm trying to get as many Appy's as possible, just in case :D

Sovereign Trident, 62# at 28, 60 AMA. Fastest and smoothest bow I have shot. Just a quiet bow.

I've had 75+ bows over the past 7 years. I had the best of them all placed in my hands this morning at the SCBA State Traditional shoot. Rod Strickland sold me a one-piece Blacktail, 64", 46#@28". It is the very first Blacktail I've seen, let alone held.

The bow is drop dead gorgeous. But the best part about the bow is how it shoots. It starts with the grip. I'm the third owner of the bow and I swear I would have had to have spent several days in Norm's shop for him to build a bow with a grip that fits ME as perfectly as this one does. And the bow is very quick, very quiet and and shoots fantastically. That is despite the fact that I was shooting arrows that are not tuned to the bow for me.

Exactly the bow I am shooting now. My Chek-mate Hunter II.Coco riser, black walnut limbs with jarah veneers front and back.62" 48# @29".
Don't get me wrong, there are others I would like to own, but this is the one that I won't part with.
Best of luck in your search.

My 68" HH Big 5 is just about the most perfect bow ever made (for me). It'll zing a heavy arrow PDQ and is just plain fun to shoot.

I'm with Dorris, I have a Voodoo Kustom elk riser longbow. Right now it's the only bow on my rack with no price tag. I have a Firefly and Widow on the way too.

Lewis Brookshire III · February 17, 2008, 07:06:00 AM

This one for sure!

Bill Tell · February 17, 2008, 08:10:00 AM

I would love to have a self bow made out of some Osage from the fence row at my Dad's old place. We don't own it anymore so I don't think that will happen.

coconutdave · February 17, 2008, 08:10:00 AM

It would have to be my Assenheimer.

Rob DiStefano · February 17, 2008, 08:40:00 AM

OK, OK, OK - if I HAD to choose from all the bows I now own, or have ever owned, or have ever played with over the last 5+ decades or so, I'd be a happy camper with just my MOAB, 60", 55# @ 29" ...

MikeC · February 17, 2008, 10:58:00 AM

If I had to own only one it would be the one I have now. My DAS Master with XQ-1 Limbs. I have owned more bows than I could remember and there is only one I wish I never sold and could live with that one also. The first Granite Ridge Real McCoy Longbow I owned which accounted for more venison than most people take in a lifetime.
