I like that gooser! And 30coupe i miss my kanati to death!!!!!

That's easy, my 62" Black Widow  PSA V

Why, well the wife and I raised 6 kids and I saved for 17 years to get this bow. When you are in the middle of raising 6 your bow savings takes a back seat and gets robbed from time to time.

After 17 years of tiring to save enough to get my widow the last young one left the nest.  When my next birth day rolled around my wife said hey you should get that bow you have always wanted, I gave her a kiss and picked up the phone, January of 06 It arivied, it just fits me and I would never trade or sell it.

No way I'm selling my 60" 52@28" Zipper SXT recurve.

My son's first bow, when he was just a little tyke, with his name on it, all others are subject to being moved on in one shape or form if necessary.....the four bows I have now I'm happy with and I don't think I'll be moving them on any time soon,,,,,but yea never know....I'd like to add one or two also when the time is right....but my son's little bow....NO WAY!

Like Whip, my Jack Howard Gamemaster.  I bought it from Jack in 1967 and I have resisted many attempts to get me to sell it over the years.

[Chromebuck]

I'm with TxAg.  I already sold the bow I thought I'd never sell(beautiful Toelke Lynx).  Right now I have a Thunderhorn Vintage and a Nate Steele 62" Expedition Hunter T/D that are interchangeable.    

Kempf 62" Trophy Hunter T/D coming in December and a Kendall 62" Kanati in February which hopefully will be a T/D.

Voodoo Elk Riser Take Down Longbow- Elk Antler Riser, 3/4 skinned Walnut Limbs with Elk Limb Tips.


Too much Traditional Character, Too Good Looking, Too Functional(Speed and Accuracy) to ever sell. When I got it my Wife asked, "Is that a display bow you just hang on the wall? It is a piece of Art!"

[Kevin Dill]

I've owned a bunch (!) of really fine bows over my lifetime and decades of hunting. Many are one-time works of art that nobody can likely ever duplicate. I had a lot of fun and enjoyment figuring out what makes a bow a beautiful one, as well as a perfect shooter. A thousand bucks here and two thousand there...twenty or more fine customs...it adds up. That said...

I have never owned a bow I wouldn't sell, and I've sold some beauties. Some of them killed many animals, and big animals. I've never been one to form an emotional attachment to a bow or other object. Don't ask me why, but I find them as easy to sell as anything. Come to think of it, I've never missed one after it was sold, either.

My custom Tall Tines longbow is with me for the long haul.

My 1st Trad Bow: 1974 Darton Trailmaster Recurve. Something about this bow really touches my soul. I dont shoot it much because I've moved up in draw weight, but I'm very fond of this bow.

[TRAD101]

I shoot three differant bows off and on,but it
seems I always take my cari-bow peregrine hunting.

[DennyK]

Well for me it's my 2004 Black Widow PSA-X Kingwood. Wood is phenominal and it's the first left handed bow I bought after being forced to make the switch. Took my first deer with that bow shooting from the "other side". I'd give my best gold tooth for another one just like it.

[jsweka]

Great Plains Wolf Creek recurve.
It was a college graduation gift from my Dad; it's autographed by Stacey Grosscup; and it's the bow I took my first traditional deer with.

[Joeabowhunter]

Well to answer your exact question I guess in the case of an emergency I would sell every bow but currently the last to go would be my Cari-bow Slynx.

Smokes an arrow and I'm consistantly drawn to it.

[Sam McMichael]

I don't intend to sell any of my bows, especially my Hill bows. In particular, I would not get rid of my first Wesley Special. My Cheetah is also sneaking into that same category.

[WidowEater]

I tend to live my life one bow at a time so at any given time I only have one bow or am about to sell one to leave me with only one.

I dont think there is anything wrong with one bow at a time.  I like trying new things too but if it doesnt click within a week or so I just get rid of it or if it does click right away I get rid of what I had.

Thats just how I do it.

[bruinman]

Hmmmmm, if I can keep only one I am going with my 56" Bruin one piece. I shoot it very well, it is light and very easy to use out of a stand or on the ground.
