Black Creek longbow for me. Jim builds a great bow that just seems to work for me, not to mention hes a great guy to deal with and a good friend.

The bowyers of today are very talented and are making the best bows ever. Trying as many as you possibly can.

One brand prefference???  Um.... No!  ;)

I have owned a lot of different bows over the years, but have settled down a bunch.  Basically it was a journey to find out what I like and don't like.  

For longbows I shoot Morrison Shawnees, 62", A-riser/E-limbs and prefer the carbon/foam limbs.  Also like Bob's Cougar, but for a one-piece longbow it would be the Thunderstick MOAB.

For Recurves, hands down Jack Kempf's Kwyk Styk, also like the Black Widow PSA.

I'm sold on Black Widows. I have a MAX 53@28 and a PSAX 49@28. I have the MA set up with a bowquiver and the PSA I use when it's nasty outside.

Will never settle on one.  Love Schafers, Blacktails, etc.
Surprising, Black Widow has such a strong following...I don't much like them at all. Nice looking and well built but I cant get the accuracy/consistancy of other bows out of them.
 CANT BE ME!!!!!!! heh, heh

I guess since my first real bows, a 1968 Bear SK and then a 1969 Super Mag 48 I have owned and shot a ton of different ones.  Even went, as many of us here have at one time or another, to wheels.  Since I discarded the wheels There were some more bows but I always had a Bear in the closet and admired Black Widows.  

I finally tried and bought a Widow PF and fell in love (loaned that bow to a friend and have not seen it for about five years.  Would love to get it back but cant find him).  Then bought a used MA and so on and so on... right through the PL's.  I am very happy with my Widow bows.  They shoot well for me.  That being said, I have acquired a 1968 Super Mag 48 and am now looking for a 1968 SK.  They are old friends...

Longbows for me. Deep core, narrow limbs and a straight handle. Heavy wood arrows. I have a Northern Mist that fits the bill. I have a Sunset Hill on order. I want to try these bows and go from there: Howard Hill, Sunset Hill,Northern Mist and Miller. They all have what I like in a hunting bow.

In that quest to find the "perfect" bow for myself, I chanced up on Bear's Paw Bows.  Now there are others I would like to shoot some day, but for the most Bear's Paw, for me, with an occasional walk with a selfbow!
Thanks,
Tim

I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it!
