I have too many now ( oh yes I realize you cannot have enough): but I will stand pat with this hand now. I cannot get around to shooting what I have.

I’d love to get a centaur with the carbon back.  I also would love to get my hands on an RER Arroyo

I would love to find a backup Great Northern Ghost for my current one. It's my favorite bow by far.
I'd also like to find some 62 inch limbs for my Blacktail Elite VL. The 66 inch limbs are super smooth, but I'd prefer a touch shorter.

Ordered a Centaur super curve  and another set of limbs for my silver tip. So many bows…so little time

My new bow for 2025. (The top one) PTF, 58” 51#. Cocobolo and Osage. Osage limbs.  I had a takedown on order, but I couldn’t get the PTF off my mind.Shawn Leonard (I think) said the PTF was the best bow Black Widow made. Two other guys I know said they were sweet.  So,  I thought why not try one.

I shot it for a day or two. So smooth and I really like the lower grips of BW. I cancelled my ordered bow and kept the PTF. The try before you buy is really a nice option. The worst case scenario is you will be out $100 or thereabouts.The hit will be a lot bigger if you buy one new and decide to resell.

I did buy an ASL(St Patrick Lake MushinStyk)and am playing with that one, too. It is very nice but I have always shot recurves better. But this one is a good shooter also.

Going to call Jim and Georgia soon and order me a Bivouac Hill Jack for my first ALS.  I'll get to see if the ASL is something I like or not.   Should be fun and I'm looking forward to it.   :archer2:

Maybe a Bighorn Legacy.  Good looking and lots of history behind it.

I'm still looking for just the right 68-inch ASL.  Weight needs to be 40-45@28, all the laminations on the back of a relatively short riser, narrow, string follow limbs, tip wedges not overlays, bamboo lams preferred.  Hoping to find a used one, but not many built to those specs.

Ordered Backwoods Composite MOAC limbs to pair with the riser I've had (made by them) for a couple years.

37lbs. at 28 inches.  Plan is to get about a 25 yard "point on" with a 34 inch, very heavy arrow which should be

both quiet and easy on the shoulder.

Just snatched up another 52" Cascade Golden Hawk Magnum a couple weeks ago.  Couldn't help myself!

If I were just out buying bows for fun, there's a Bwana Safari for sale somewhere that is an absolute beauty.  I am curious as to their performance.

If I were buying a bow I'd plan on keeping for a lifetime, I'd get a 60" BW PSR takedown with a Toby grip. 
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I will be getting a new 68" ASL. Northern Mist isn't taking orders until their backlog is caught up, I'll keep my eyes on the stock list.
I am not sure what is happening with the new owners of Howard Hill Archery? So, I am pretty sure I am going to order an ASL from Jim Belcher @ Bivouac Bows - the Union Jack and Hill Jack look like quality, proper Hill style bows.

Two birds with one stone. Always wanted a bear magnum in camo. I found this at the Kalamazoo show and it needed some TLC. 1968 bear magnum , waiting for new decals before clear coat.
