[Terry Lightle]

[Tater]

Posted looking for this bow in the classifieds a year or so ago with no luck.

   Morrison Shawnee 58" 55# @ 28" Osage and Bocote riser (double pine cone) with Arapahoe (recurve) limbs Copperhead skins and Kudu horn tips. It has my name on it.

    I would really like to get this one back.....  

[tex-archer]

I had a Fox longbow made by Ron King,57#, yew limbs that I really wish I had back!!

[YORNOC]

I want these both back in the worst way.

[riverrat 2]

[OldSkoolArcher]

Bob Lee Dark Archer 54" 54#. Should have never sold it...

[Dan Adair]

David (Yornoc)

Dave makes those every day  

[Nakohe]

Jim Brakenbury "Old Thimer" only bow I truly wish I had never sold. Actually traded for some blackpowder equipment. If you know where it is at Jeff let me know. Lol

[reddogge]

Never sold it but somehow it dissappeared, my first bow, a 30# Ben Pearson lemonwood longbow my parents gave me for Christmas in 1955.

I would love to have my original Rocky Mountain Recurve with its extra set of limbs.  This bow was stolen from me along with a lot of other archery gear including several other bows.  I'd also like to find the SOB who burglarized my home and took my stuff.  (Forgive my French please!)

[Dave Lay]

Black widow PGA lefty 60@27  went to Austria.. I would buy that one back in a heart beat !! I was a DA to ever sell it...it was a anniversary present from the wife.. nuf said....

I have three bows I would love to have back:


Noble Longbow....flat grain red elm under clear glass....shedua and bubinga riser if I remember right with a slightly dished grip.  Would either have writing on it for "shorthair" or "Ron Herman"....cant remember what I had him put on it.  

John Strunk, Buffalo Spirit osage longbow with buffalo horn tips, snake skin backing.  I won it at Traditional Bowhunters of Maryland banquet one year in mid-90s....no name on bow as it was refinished.  Here is pic with nutria I shot during TBM hunt that following year
     


Joe Mattingly, "DOGLEG", osage selfbow I sold at auction to raise money for his brain cancer fighting fund years ago...it was a great shooter.


I have bought back the only other bow I wanted...was my first recurve as adult...Jeffery Royal Hunter with Red Oak under clear glass and his mountain camo riser.  Bought it back and it is staying on rack from now on.


Good luck Lee with finding that first bow....

[wigeon]

I had a black widow PMA Autumn Oak it was 58 inches 49 lbs tillered 3 under.Shot my first deer using traditional equipment with this bow.I sold it and still am kicking myself for it.This was 4 or 5 years ago ,if anyone has it I would love to buy it back.

X2 It's been part of the journey for me as well.  All the bowyers I have been fortunate enough to own bows from are still making bows, thus if I wanted a replacement bad enough it could be contemplated.

A few that I've owned that left fond memories...Well, a Thunderhorn Heartstopper and Toelke Lynx come to mind.

BW psax cross grain gray bark. Has my name on it. Also a BW PL II think it was 53 at 28, bought it, sold it, bought it again sold it again DA me.

[far rider]

My first Howard Hill. 68" 56@28, Wesley. Ebony riser, black glass, with buffalo horn tip overlays, and a black laced wrap. Hard hitter, but at the time was a little too heavy at my long draw. Shouldn't have traded that one.

[IronJohn]

Roger Hollenbeck all-wood longbow. If I remember it was 64" and around 50#@26" or so. I think he called it a laminated selfbow. It was bamboo backed with maybe 5 or 6 lams of Osage. That bow was scary quiet and a joy to carry.........IJ

[ron w]

I have been very lucky to have sold or traded up most times so came out with something I really liked. The only bow that was different was a Black Widow SBS [short black stick] 60" 44# @ 29". I wanted something heavier and sold it. Now that's right where my specs are.....lol! That was a real sweetheart!!

[wissler]

My 3rd and 4th FOX High Sierras would be bought back if either presented themselves for sale.
Both were figured cocobolo with Yew limbs.

Mann!
