Bows you rarely find for sale used

[The Vanilla Gorilla]

Ive only been shooting trad for about 15 years,  much less than some of yall Im sure.  But heres some bows that I dont think ive ever ran across used for sale.

Little Sucklings
Chaparral Kaibab
Mahaska bows
Elk Hoof Longbows
Southern Draw bows

I also dont cruise used bow postings as often as I should tho! But those are a few Id like to have if I ever found any.

[Jon Stewart]

Lots of bows named I have never heard of. I would suspect they don't make a lot of them unlike Bear , Browning and Shakespeare etc.

Stotler's are like hens teeth, many models of older bows are really high poundage.

[Wudstix]

High poundage suits me just fine.

I agree that numbers produced directly affect listed for sale.
Black Widows seem to always be available and I attribute thus to their sheer numbers.

Staghorn's, Howards, Target Fasco's,

As for Staghorn's I do have an perfect original XP 64" that original 40@28" that I am going to let go. Fastest 40lb recurve Ive ever saw in 40yrs of shooting Trad.

Just ordered a Great Plains traditional longbow. Don't see many up for sale. New owner, Shane is a real nice guy and by all accounts an excellent bowyer. He worked with me to put together a custom bow with all the "options". Choice of exotic woods, antler, horn or phenolic tips and overlays all included in the price. So, cocobolo/phenolic riser with polished horn tips, cocobolo overlays on Tonkin bamboo veneers and leather grip for $860.

Tice & Watts
Staghorns also

For the number of Howatt Hunters made you don't see many for sale.

That would be a PL V.  They are sweet shooting and sweet looking bows.  Ironwood riser with stacked bamboo in the limbs....

[NY Yankee]

Bighorn (especially one-piece), Bob Lee (although I did just get one used) and Kota Kill-Um ( really nice 50's style bow I might add).

  I'd like to find a Hokolesqua" long bow by Jim Emerson.  I had 2 at one time, but, they were heavy poundages.  That's the Shawnee Indian name for chief "Corn Stalk".....a big chief in the Daniel Boone days.  I live very close to one of the old Shawnee villages.  Blue Jacket was a war chief during those times.  There you have a very brief Shawnee Indian history 101 lesson !  I'd still like to find one of Jim's lower poundage bows though

Timberline, Schulz, Early Howard Hill. Bear Kodiak 1955 - 69. Hoyt Hunter, Sunbear, Tim Meigs.

Rocky Mountain Recurve and Savage Deathmaster are hard to find.

[Wild Bill MCP 808]

Thunderhorn longbows for one, once you have one you don't want to give it up. Mr Jessop has been building bows over 30 years and makes a beautiful bow that really shoots well, also dead in the hand.

It's difficult  to find a Hummingbird Recurve in the low forties. Another bow I'd love to have is a Panther bamboo Semi recurve  that was sold back in the early 1950s by Malibu Archery in California.
