What bow do you think will be the next big thing?

[SveinD]

Let me start by saying I might be wrong in my observations, and if so, feel free to correct me!
I am, all in all, new to archery and have only been active a short while, compared to most here on TG!

Many people talk about bows that are "on the hype".
And in hype, I mean popular, praised and wanted, in a good way!
Dan Toelkes bows were "it" a some time back, then Vince Miglioratos Mohawk.
Jim Neaves Centaurs was the bow everybody talked about from last winter 'till this summer.
Neither of them undeservingly, I believe!
Now it seems Big Jims bows have lately gotten the reputation and promo the deserve (according to what I've read   )

My question is, what do you believe will be the next bow/bowyer everyone talks about?

To me it seems like Crow Creek is on the rise.
It sure helps that they are stunning to look at!

It's gonna be fun to see who gets the next spotlight:)

Oh, I thought Stalkers were the up before my active time, along with A&H, Shrews, Morrison, Thundersticks % Widows and the like!

I am curious to see how long it will take to see an ACS-type limb in an ILF format.  I suspect that would, indeed, be a "big thing".

Don't know if this relates, but with John Mc Collough's bows haveing a 2+ year wait time for a new one, I still think his are very close to if not at the top  

[rastaman]

Elmer Patton with Crow Creek has been around for awhile.  I think he is getting a little more exposure since he got a website so maybe a little more "hype".  
i would have to agree with Outwest that South Cox with Stalker bows is getting a lot of press and is on the rise....

Let us pause for a moment and give thanks that we are blessed with soooooo many great choices!

   

Trad rocks!

Kempf does build a sweet bow, and I've heard does McCollough does as well!

I don't know that Stalker is the "Next Big Thing" but South Cox is an exceptional bowyer to work with and his bows are great shooters. Great lookers too, even the "Plain Jane" model.

The next big thing to me is 'old hat' to some of you. Schafer Silvertip is the bow I am most eagerly awaiting -- April, 2011 -- although I still cruise the classifieds looking for a perfect used one to hold me over. However, I'm not sure I'll ever shoot a recurve better than my "Stick" by Strickland.

I too was impressed w/ the Stalker.
Chris Cox w/ his triple carbon hycurve bow is a remarkable performing bow on a very desirable rear mounted limb platform.They are extremely forgiven and very quick

It will be worth the wait that's for sure...mine has been my go to bow since the day I got it in the mail.

I'll find out about that first hand next week. I have a NTM Viperkahn that is only about 5 months old on the way. 50#@28 with longbow limbs.

Jason Kendall's bows are getting a lot of attention and with good reason as he makes an AWESOME bow in the Kanati!!!!

[rholzie]

It sure would be helpful to have a Trad. Bow "directory" of a sort!!

[Hit-or-Miss]

I heard about some guy named Allen, he built a wheeled contraption with a 50% letoff. I doubt the idea will go anywhere though, it sounds like a gimmick!!!  

[BowMIke]

Hard to beat a Morrison Shawnee or a Centaur!

[Steve Clandinin]

It is amazing,and confusing,especially for some of the new people coming over to Trad.In 50 years of shooting I have never seen more and Talented Bowyers as we have today,and not just new bowyers.Companys like Black widow,Dickie Robertson and on and on continue to bring out new products of impecable quality.Hats off to the selections and fine people building bows today.
