If You Had To.......

[danbow34]

ok , if you could only keep one bow,i know this question is gut wrenching, but be brave and try to answer,which bow would it be ? now how about arrows and broadheads?

for me it would have to be my ........ ,man this question sucks, just whose idea was this anyway?

ok ,ok, i can do this! my Ram Horn recurve, my 2018's and my Magnus's. whew,now i'm going to take all my bows into the backyard and have me a shot -fest.

later dan :shooting:

[Gutshot]

I'm kinda partial to my Black Widow PMA II, 2117's and Magnus heads. Gotta love those Magnus heads.

[Cato]

I'll tell you after I get my DAS Hunter. It has the potential to be a lot faster than anything I've ever owned, and quiet and forgiving as well. I cannot wait!

[James on laptop]

Out of all the bows I have my 3pc Adcock longbow would be the last to go.I used it my first season of hunting with a tradbow and had a great year.Out of the 50 or more I have bought,built or borrowed since then it is still among the very best in all deptments so I don't see it going anywhere. :)

Arrows and broadheads..does not matter cause I can shoot ant of them. ;)

[thisbucks4u]

Id pick my compound. Sorry.

[Esquire]

Right now it'd be my warf, hands down.

[1bjd]

Even tho I have less than a week with it my Das Kinetic Would be last bow to go. Next "72 Hoyt td2 Hunter. Arrows 1916 Easton I have a lot. Broadhead Thunderhead. Tough choices! :shooting: John

[Viper]

Dan -

One bow, huh? How many sets of limbs?

Seriously, that's one I don't think I could answer.

Viper out.

[rallen]

Dan,

I've bought three new ones this in the last 8 months! A compound, longbow, and most recently a recurve. They're all my favorites! :highfive: Now, thanks to Esquire getting me interested in the Warfbow, I'll probably wind up getting one of them, too! For me, it's not a matter of a favorite! It's just the fun of shooting, period!

Let's see

- Damon Howatt Super Diablo 65# - Given to me by a friend dying of cancer... couldn't give that one up.

- Homebuilt Bingham 67# - Shot the buck in my avatar with... couldn't give that one up.

- Bear Grizzly 45# - Shot my first deer (4x4 buck) with 24 yrs ago... nope, wouldn't give that one up.

- In the process of building several warfs... one with glass limbs that I built, one for bowfishing, and one that Bob is converting for use with olympic limbs.

Glad I don't really have to make that choice.

[The Gray Fox]

One of my Hoyt 20" TD-3 risers with 50# and 57# sets of limbs. Only one set allowed, it would be the lighter set with about 2 dozen CX 30-50# carbons with 4" vanes and 125 grain field tips. Into a plastic shoebox would go three strings and all the Bear Razorheads on long inserts(12), Zwickey 2 blades with inserts (12), 6 Thunderhead 125s and a bunch of spare blades, some steel blunts, some Bludgeons, and some Judos. Add a 10" file and a two sided diamond stone, and some string wax and hot melt glue and I think I would be OK for just about anything for quite a while as long as I picked my shots well.

I know this sounds like I'm getting ready to head to the boonies or something, but why else would I only have one bow?

On the other hand it does make one wonder why I have so many bows hanging on the rack.

[Cueball]

Also its the only trad bow I got.

[Matt]

I'm waiting on a Martin hunter. I've heard good things so far. I'll wait to answer this one

[DAS]

I may be a tad biased here, but honestly, the DAS Kinetic Hunter is the last bow I'll need! :) :shooting:

[Pinelander]

Well, it's only a pipedream 'cause I'll never be happy with just one bow. I would keep one of the warfed risers that I have. Sell both sets of ILF limbs that I currently have (39-43) and (48-53) and purchase a set that would hit smack-dab in the range of 43-48# @ 64" with my 29" draw. That way I would have comfortable enough target limbs and also hunting limbs all-in-one!

As for arrows, sorry... gotta have two different sets (1 for target, 1 for hunting). That would be lightweight aluminums for target and the skinny Cabela SST for hunting.

As for broadheads... a no-brainer, will stick with the Zwickey 2-blades I've been using for 20 years and the Magnus also.

[Phil]

If I had to keep just one bow it would have to be my Italian Alpine Self Yew D section Long bow made by Pip Bickerstaffe. I've shot this bow on the battlefeild of Azincourt and at the Royal Toxopholite Society. It also gave me a 6 gold end at 80 yards. I couldn't part with it

[swampy]

Just one :help: .......... :sbrug:

:sorry: I,m not done checkin out bows and have shot some dandys About the only thing I can pick just one of is my wife and who the heck would want 2 :lol:

[Papabull]

Id pick my compound. Sorry.

Someone go get a rope. We got a hangin' to do, men! :p

[swampy]

ROTFLMAO PB What wood be the traditional type tree ta do the hangin LOL

The misspell was intentional that time HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Phil]

Papabull :lol: :lol:

[thisbucks4u]

At least you guys know I dont pull punches with y'all.

[Morningstar]

1997 Widow SA III - 60" 57 @ 28"

My first recurve, and one of the bows I've been able to shoot the best. Shot my first traditional deer and turkeys with this bow. Put's the meat in the pot. :cheers:

[Bowcephalus]

My Dad's Bear Kodiak Hunter, no question, no hesitation........It's the only one that could not be replaced....( and I have a Widow I love).....The Warfer Butterfly is my Wife's so it don't count. She'd be keeping it......

[jeffw]

Here's another vote for a Kodiak Hunter. Mine is a '74 model my parents bought me for my birthday. Had alot of 'adventures' with that bow and it made me feel almost like Fred Bear. I still enjoy shooting it.

[pondscum2]

my 54# Mahaska is my keeper. natural camo, very quiet, lighter than my other bows. gotta keep my griz too, tho.....them first buck bows tend to stay at home :highfive: the others, of course, are negotiable... :sbrug: ps2

[pondscum2]

swampy, the traditional tree is the closest one with a branch high enough off'a the ground to accomplish the desired result... :cheers: ps2

[Bowcephalus]

"I've shot this bow on the battlefeild of Azincourt" .........Dude! How old ARE you?...........;)

[Bowcephalus]

Something about those early 70's Kodiak Hunters that allows them to stand up pretty well to what's produced today in the wood/glass recurve category.....I always thought they were one of the best looking bows in the mass market too....

[easternhunter]

Just adding my 2cents worth here....right now, I'd have to say..my PEarson Predator...as soon as I get my Super "K" setup..it'll likely be that one! uhhh til I get around to building my own. Then ??????

[Stagmitis]

My Hill Bow.........
