OLD FRIENDS ARE BEST FRIENDS

I know most of them, but how about listing them.

NICE COLLECTION

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Bottom bow is a Ben Pearason "Spectre" 40#,52"
It sees a good bit of use for carp.

2nd bow from the bottom is a Bear "Kodiak Magnum" 45#,52".

3rd bow from the bottom is a Wing "Red Wing Hunter" 70#,52". I bought it new($50) in '72 and it has been my primary deer bow ever sence.

4th bow from the bottom is a Bear "Kodiak Magnum"
50#,52"

5th bow from the bottom is a Bear "Kodiak Hunter"
48#,58"

The top bow(not well pictured)is a Ben Pearson "Silencer TD" 45#,62". It is 2-piece takedown.It was pretty well totally wrecked when I bought it from a pawn shop for $5 in the faint hope I could reserect it. A lot of work has gone into it but I am very pleased with the results. Took 2nd in class in the only  shoot I've shot it in.

Old friends on the wall but not in the picture include two Ben Pearsons, a Wing "Falcon",and a Bear "Cub". Would you be interested in seeing a picture of them and maybe a better shot of the takedown?

INTERESTING that I missed the Silencer TD, even though I have one.  I also have 4 Signature TDs

The only thing you have that I don't is the Spectre.

My avatarshows 14 of my 85 bows.  I have 4 racks like the one pictured, and several 5 & 4 bow racks.

You must have done a great job on the Silencer because it looks great.

85?! That is awesome. Do you have pictures somewhere? Would love to see them.

Here's an attempt at a better picture of the Silencer TD. Considering that it looked like a piece of driftwood when I got it,I'm not at all displeased.
