Wow!! You guys are some bow buying addicts!!! I have not yet obtained the $$$ needed to create such a collection.

Plus a load of production bows. Some of the above are now memories, most are hanging in the workcave!

If they changed the law tommorrow & I could only keep one, it'd definately, without a doubt be the Horne.

Wish list bows would be a Shrew Samurai Longbow, Morrison longbow & a Rodney Wright Firehawk.

Mostly fine bows, but the Pronghorn longbows have been my favorites.

I've owned and shot many over the years.  My first was a Ron Maulding Tamarack Bighorn that I still have.  Favorites are a Robertson Mystical and Vision, GN Critter Gitter, Selway (Centaur) Lil Mag, and an old Dave Johnson cedar cored Hill Style.

Friends call me Pac

I have only owned two custom bows and still have them.  A Crow Creek Blackfeather and a Crow Creek Dalton.  Since I got these my other bows don't leave the rack anymore.  I love them both but if I had to choose between the two I think I would have to go with the Dalton.  I'm so glad I don't have to choose though.

They other bows I have are:
Bear Kodiak Magnum
Bear Blackbear
Pearson Hawk
PSE Impala
Martin Hunter

Never thought of this before until I typed my list but the ones I don't shoot anymore are all recurves.

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!
