Yep. I had to buy it back. Martin Dreamcatcher. Nothing spectacular but it was my first. At only 50#s I might need it in my old age anyway!  :)

My wife was cleaning out the baby's room, took the crib out and put in a little kiddie bed. "How many bows do you have"!! rang through the house.  Well I flipped a coin and let go a Groves.  STUPID ME! Oh, how I miss that bow.  Should of bought her something to make up for my addiction.

Great Plains Palo Duro B-model takedown, 55#-62". Bought it off the classifieds here for about 350 and sold it for about the same. Smoothest drawing bow I ever shot. I'll never find another one at that price again.

Years ago I offered the choice of a t/d recurve a 1 pc recurve and a longbow as a raffle prize.  This was a part of the fund raising for a state bow hunting org.

I was all but sure that the t/d would be choosen.  However it was the 1 pc recurve that was choosen

There was something about that bow it just seemed to hit what I shot at.  I have built that same bow on the same form several times.  But I have never been able to recapture the magic.

Oh well it was for a great cause. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

And I've kicked you for not selling it to me! Best howard hill I've ever seen, bar none, both in looks and shooting qualities.
