Old Bear recurves!!! Grizzlys specificly...

I started bowhunting back in the 1970's with an old 50# Bear Alaskan. Had quite a few old Bears after that. The old Bear recurves bring back so many fond memories!!!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Hill longbows. I own a bunch of others, but they generally remain indoors.

We really like our E.B. Holcomb reborn Drakes and Kodiaks. Also the BBO longbow by Roy of  Pa. Great shooters.

I just got a Maddog R/D longbow, shoots so sweet, and fast too.  Love it!
Maddog Mountaineer 57# and Prairie Predator 52# Wow!, Samick Sage 35 - 60#,  I'm learning.

Red Beastmaster

66"-68" mild R/D longbows.

I shoot recurves better but my longbows are just so cool!

In  the past 4 years I have spent just over 20,000 trying to find the best of the best. The only two I have not compared to my current inventory is the Centuar and the Habu Vyperkahn.

The JD Berry Argos, and the Toelke Whip are the best of the best! Why you ask? Because the are quick, smooth, quite, no hand shock, dead in hand, shoot where you look, and easy to tune. Bowyers are pretty much the same to deal with, quick, smooth and no hand shock.

I have 20 bows and like to shoot them all. But I have to say I'm a recurve man mostly. My goto bow is my Pittsley Predator.
Bows, Broadheads & Backstraps

I agree with you on the Predator Recurve. I have had just about every recurve made. The best shooting and most accurate hunting recurve I have ever shot, or my friends have shot is the Predator. There are prettier bows out there but they don't shoot like a Predator.

Hill style. Quietest, most forgiving, most versatile design.   Unfortunately not the fastest, until you get into hunting weight arrows where they perform at their peak.

Right now I am loving most things ILF.  I really like the mix n match options,if risers and limbs.  My current favorite combo is an Excel riser and winnex limbs, but I have some BF extremes to try out when I get a string for them.

LookMomNoSights

Out of all the bows Ive owned or tried.....Im a 3 pc hybrid long bow guy for sure.   Absolutely love my Zipper Nitro!

shirikahn

Of all the bows I've owned in my life (wheels and sticks) I'd have to say it would be the old Kodiak Mag (rh, 50 lb) that my fathers best friend gave me when I was 14.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of it...took my first bull moose with it in Alaska at 15...Lost it when my father went to prison...aunt got power of attorney, and all was sold.  But That, is for sure my favorite.

hybred long bows are my favorite but enjoy shooting the all

Hermon

The one in my hand at the time.   :biglaugh:  

But given a choice, a mild r/d that strings to a "D" shape
