If it could ONLY be one Bow!   :confused:    :help:  

Well....if you are going to put a gun to my head......I'd probably sell all but one of them built by that good 'ol boy from Hamilton MT. that goes by the name of Dale.......but you'd better have a bullet in that gun!!!!!

monk, you raise a thoughtful point. I have one bow. Find one you like. simplify.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

if it had to be only one bow then it would be one of the longbow takedown customs built by; THE MAN BIG JIM. totally custom built to your specs from all of the laminates, woods,handle grip tip overlays, dl and # etc etc etc. built with pride and made to stride!!! beautiful bows made for you to match your needs. this way you will always cherrish the one of a kind piece of equipment which is every bit as unique and special as you yourself are and with that in mind i would be hard pressed to be able to choose anything but a big jim bow if i had to only choose one for lifes journey, sort of like an extension of your outreached hand. the forrunners the native americans all made and totally personalize their equipment so that everyone knew when they saw them who they actually belonged to and respected that equipment.
Life is rough, beer good and people are crazy!!!

It would have to be the one that is comfortable enough for me to shoot over and over again without too much fatigue, yet enough zing to hunt anything on this continent---that weight is about 50# for me.

At the moment have to lean towards the John Strunk "Traditional Spirit" that I acquired just a short time ago.

Michael, congrats on your doctorate! :)  
At the moment I have two bows.  They are both 62" Northern Mist Baraga's 56 and 54# @ 28".  So I would probably say one of them as they are great shooters, although the brand really doesn't matter so much as the style-62-64" mild reflex deflex longbow and a locator grip.  I have owned a few different longbows, but never saw the need to own more than two.  One to hunt with and one as a backup plan or for a friend to use.

The best bow for the individual; for me it is a GN Super Ghost.  Still a classic and bet all around bow of the 50 or so I have owned.

I might try to answer this when I've shot all the bows that I want to. I won't go into the future but just the ones that I already know I want to try. There are a couple of Hill styles that are on my wish list. I'm dying to try a Hill style with some string follow.

Shoot who am I kidding.. I seriously doubt I'd be able to make myself get down to one bow even if I had to drag out the shaving horse and build them.

God bless,Mudd

Tall Tines!!! I just picked this one up. There's been alot of talk on here recently about these bows, you can believe it all!! It's without a doubt the finest shooting recurve I've ever owned! Fast, stable, smooth draw, the best grip I've felt, no handshock, and beautiful to look at! What else could you want?
