number 1 bow

"if you could only have 1 bow what would you have"

Okay - I get it! This is a riddle!

The answer is - ONE BOW!

Now if you could only have two bows, you would have two bows, and so on and so on.

This was too easy!

My experience with the vast number of quality bows is quite limited.

I would choose the one that naturally fit me best.

I'll bet one thing. You would sure take care of it!!! Cause if you only owned one then it would be a survival situation.
God bless you all, Steve

Why, what do you have?

Rooselk · February 27, 2011, 02:35:00 AM

A Blacktail recurve...about 5 pounds heavier than the one I shoot nearly every day and is currently hanging on my bow rack.

But I love all my bows, which is the reason I have never sold or traded any bow I've ever owned. Picking just one would prove difficult, if not impossible. Sophie would have a less difficult time making a choice than I would.

cal bow, i would keep my cocobolo silvertip

Andrew Downs · February 27, 2011, 06:33:00 AM

Border Black Douglas - although I probably would have picked up the silvertip 1st , put her down picked up the BBD put her down, picked up the tip... you get the idea..

I guess it would be the only one I have. A Shafer Silvertip! That's not by choice, the funds don't allow right now!!

My Big Jim Buff without hesitation and if my left hand could be put into play my TC ,,,,

StanM · February 27, 2011, 11:18:00 AM

I don't know if I can answer that one right, but I can say this, I've had my River's Edge Recurve longer than any other bow I've owned

Sounds like a question the wife would ask..

If I could only have one I quess it would have to be my 2000 Spec. Edition Bighorn. I go for months without shooting it, then when I pull it out BAM...right on the money.

cacciatore · February 27, 2011, 11:39:00 AM

Joe,that is really one of the best bows ever made,indeed.

Second the Holm-Made!

I have thirteen, but four of those are Morrison Shawnee Longbows, so If I only had to keep one that would be my choice. 58", 50@27". Carbon/foam limbs.

saumensch · February 28, 2011, 10:38:00 AM

Ive got only one bow at the moment

To youre question, an exceptionally rare and expensive one, i could sell it and buy a 2 or 3 cheaper ones

sawtoothscream · February 28, 2011, 12:52:00 PM

i would have to shoot a ton of bows to see which one i would want to stay with for ever.

ermont · February 28, 2011, 12:59:00 PM

It would be a toss up between my Centaur and my Super Shrew Deluxe. Man that is a tough choice. I will have to think about that some more.

Sixby · February 28, 2011, 01:10:00 PM

Honestly I am not sure that bow has ever been built. Not to hi jack this thread and maybe should start a new one. But if you could only own one bow and never another one , What style , composition , poundage ,. ect would that be. Remember if it breaks you don't get another one. Your life depends on this bow. ect ect ect. Kind of an interesting concept./ I was thinking about the bows I have. Not sure I own that bow or built it yet.
God bless you all, Steve

SveinD · February 28, 2011, 01:20:00 PM

I'm guessing a short, 50-56", 2-piece curve or longbow with ACS limbs, heaps of carbon and maybe Mr Neaves XTL lams, center-cut, FF tips, indestructable and enchanted by the gods with a +5 vitals seeking arrow!

Zipper three piece takedown recurve recently purchased at the Kalamazoo Expo.
