if you could only have one????????????

[slivrslingr]

I could be happy with the Pronghorn t/d I'm currently shooting.  That said, variety is the spice of life!   :D

[Broken Arrows]

It would be a heave R&D long bow 58" the way they shoot is amazing like the Dwyer Endeavor or Shrew.

[Bonebuster]

Easy choice for me...my Predator recurve.

Been playing with a couple longbows for about a year now, and really enjoy them too, but you did say ONE bow only.

There is a very short list of things I own, that I can count on like my Predator recurve.

A saluki scythian 52-55 #'s at my draw.

Hi All,

In 1972 I bought a Bear Kodiak Magnum, 50#  @ 28", and shot that almost exclusively until just a few years ago when it got damage in a moving van.  If not for the damage, I'd still be shooting it.    :D

58" Centaur triple carbon, in fact I'm working my way back down to being a one bow man, got two more to sell and that will be the only bow I own.

[Jim Wright]

From a practical standpoint, a Toelke Lynx with a set of recurve and long bow limbs, actually 2 bows(I like to cheat). If forced to one, I would probably choose to keep one of my Toelke Super D Hill style long bows.

Mahaska Flatbow married with surewood arrows

[awbowman]

56" Bighorn Custom.  48# @ 26"

I have 56", 58" and 60" limbs

[59Alaskan]

This thread is another reminder that if I want to be the best shot I can be then I really should go down to just one and quit shooting a bunch of different bows.

I'll get back to you on this.

[Running Buck]

This is like a bad dream..... One bow, it would have to be a 62" RER Arroyo #52

[Birdbow]

Have owned, shot, and taken game with many fine bows but would have to go "old school" with the Green Mountain forward handle Stingray

[RonD]

If I could only have one longbow it would be a toss up between a 56" Beeler Tracker and a 62" Beeler Trailblazer longbow. If I could only have one recurve it would be a Marriah Thermal T/D. All the bows that have been mentioned are great bows made by very talented bowyers.

[TDHunter]

No Question, If it could only be one, it would be and Centaur Triple Carbon!!!

[mrpenguin]

The Robertson Vision Falcon 4, 58 amo, 48# which I foolishly sold... Wish I could get that one back... Live and learn...

[fmscan]

Leon Stewart Slammer! Pa. Yew on Back, Osage on Belly and Bamboo in the middle, 62in. and 45#... WAIT That's my bow! I'm a lucky guy!!

I've pretty much got all of the bows I'll ever need.  Recurves, I've got a pair of Kwyk Styks, and a Widow PSA... Longbows, I've got my Shawnees and MOABs...

If I had to choose one I'd grab one of my Shawnees.  They are both A riser with 1/2 pinecones and E carbon foam limbs with copperheads on the back.  One is 60# and the other is 64#, and shoot identically for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love every bow I own and probably wouldn't part with any of them...  Unless I could find a low 70# Kwyk Styk then I'd probably get rid of my 70# Widow.  But, the Widow is in the bow rack for sentimental reasons.  I had a SA III that I shot for several years when I made the switch from wheels...

[snag]

With out a doubt it would be my 56#@28" Blacktail Elite with a quiver full of Surewood shafts 80#-85# tipped with some 150gr heads--Red Feather Archery's Phoenix heads! This set up will be going to hunt elk in Utah this year!

[Ironfist_Canada]

My 48# Blacktail Elite T/D  The greatest bow I will ever own.
