All three are Bob Lees but top two are plain Jane but fit my hand better so they go to the woods more often.

The top brown short riser is the best bow I have ever used with the 60" longbow limbs but I also use recurve limbs on it also.Wood was a blonde ash painted it with brown patio furniture paint with a slight rough texture.Kip

I have a Predator Hunter 46@28. Solid Bubinga riser black limbs. No frills, but a great shooter!

Grayish green actionwood Wapiti, black glass. Killed quite a few whitetails with this one. I'm an exotic nut, but this is one plain bow I keep and use. I dont even have the antler knobs on it, was just messing around. Black allen head bolts.
I've dropped this beast 25' from a tree and you would never know, tough as nails and a tack driver.
-
This one does have pretty wood..but I didn't pay extra for it..
I just picked the heaviest wood available for the least expensive price.
the limbs are black glass.
Least expensive whip around..
It's my hunting bow, practice bow, target bow..pretty much the only one I shoot bow..lol

Ive got several, but this one was my diamond in the rough. I got this in a trade, not real sure of what i was getting, but after finding a great arrow and head combo it has turned out to be one of my favorites. No frills here, just a real basic Hill style thats a shooter. (http:// [url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1340243796.JPG] [img]http://images.imagelinky.com/1340243796.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]

This "Stick" was my 2010 hunting bow. I didn't use it last year. I have limbs that are 5 pounds heavier for it this year. I'll start the season a bit early with this bow this year I think.

well my main hunter right now is a fancy bow, but I do have plain looking longbow that really smokes a arrow and a plain looking ILF rig on its way.

The only traditional bow I own is a Sarells Sierra with upgraded Cocobolo riser, bamboo limbs with primitive arrows burned in them, and clear glass on both sides. It looks just like the photos from his site below. Sorry, but I have no pictures of it on my computer any more. Maybe I'll take some next time I go shooting...
(http://www.sarrelsarchery.com/model%20sierra.jpg) (http://www.sarrelsarchery.com/images/DoubleArrowBow1.jpg)
I'd like to replace it with a 2-piece take down from Big Jim soon. After the Big Jim comes in, I'll probably sell the Sierra and just keep the Big Jim bow as my only bow until I can no longer pull it back due to old age. No need in multiple bows, but I wouldn't mind having multiple arrows to go with my bow ;) .
-
You guys are shooting some really nice looking "no frills" bows!
:rolleyes:
-
Top to Bottom:
Early '60s Red Wing Hunter(not sure of exact year) 58" 53#
'69 Super Kodiak, 60" 70#
Early '70s Black Bear 60" 35#(My first recurve: belonged to my late uncle)
The Red Wing Hunter is my main hunting bow. The Super Kodiak shoots great, it's just a little heavy draw for my liking. Last year was my first year hunting with traditional gear and I wasn't able to get a shot at a deer. Hoping for better luck in October.

(http://s1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg614/tomsm44/?action=view¤t=DSC00280.jpg)
Before I get any comments, let me explain the lime green silencers. I broke my only string for the Red Wing Hunter during bow season(don't ever have an "only" string by the way), and I had the lime green left over from one of the black/brown/lime green camo silencer kits. So they got tied on and I finished the season out with it.

Lets try this again

(http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL285/1460516/24045051/401962797.jpg)
Last deer season it was my very first recurve as an adult...my Jeffery Royal Hunter....basic laminated maple riser and I put snake skins on limbs myself.
(http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL285/1460516/24045051/401962623.jpg)

Ordered new from Windauer in 2003. Been shooting it solely ever since. 54# at 28 inch 62 inch long Shafer Silvertip. Rosewood stained dymond wood riser. Checkered grip and antler knobs. Got the small boa quiver on it that holds 4 arrows. When I ordered I said not too concerned with what it looks like I just want the most stable and dead in the hand bow you can make me. He delivered. Many critters have recieved an arrow from this bow since then. When it arrived it would have been pretty to everyone else. Now it is pretty to me. Lots of battle scars and scratches on it from days in the woods. Probably wouldn't bring $250 in the classifieds.

I do though...one bow per hunting season :) :)
I like to bloody every bow I own....now I am trying to get a deer with every bow I own except the Brownings and the Joe Mattingly osage at top in picture.
I have a plain Montana Falcon I finally found....too but not hunted with it yet.

Here are a couple better pictures but none in the woods or with animals. So far it's only taken small game. I've had it quite a while now but always shot it for fun and hunted with a compound. This year will be the year the compound stays home for good. It's my only trad bow...50lb Sarrells Sierra and bison fur back quiver. During deer season the ermine will be flipped to the inside so I'm not mistaken for a whitetail and shot.

That ASAT camo bow is cool!

Had to look twice before I saw the second bow, pretty good camo.
-
After i took the pictures, i asked my son to get it for me and said "where is it?".
I dipped it with the mycamodipkit. it did ok, I'm proud of it and it shoots really good. thanks for the possitive comments. ><> del

I didn't notice it either until I scrolled down and saw the limb in the green grass.

Those are some very nice looking no frills bows. I'm a little more partial to a no frills setup myself.

Sorry if I offended you. ><> del

Here is my go to bow. It is a Robertson Mystical
67"@28". This bow is like an extension of myself. It may not be full of frills, but to me its purdy...

Sorry Del, I was was only joking about the frills. Frills are relative, one man's frills is another man's... :dunno: (Sorry, got nothin') but anyhow I like to see the ones with frills just as much.
