Today, while shooting a field round, I stopped to photograph my bow. Since we all share this wonderful passion, I thought it would be fun to show pictures of bows we own, used to own or want to own. You know, all for the love of our bows!

Wayne, did you do those splices?  They are very handsome.

Dennis, I'm not overly enamored with TD longbows but that one is an exception.  What is the length of it?

Very nice Wayne! That Kenny bow is top notch! You can't improve on a perfect design! I don't even try. Just keep building em!

I've shown it a bunch on here lately, but I can't say enough good things about my new Black Widow!  PCH, and I love it!

I have a KennyM design, 64" and 48# @28".  Got it in the bow swap a couple years ago.  A nice bow and a pleasure to shoot.  Loaned it to my grandson and I'm reconciled myself to never getting it back.   :(

My favorite bow, not because of the looks, but because of the story behind it.  My father cut the wood in the bow, walnut limbs and birdseye maple riser, in the late 40's, when he was a gunsmith.  The wood was cut into gunstock blanks and was my bed until I was about 10 years old (we lived in a very small travel trailer).  I talked to Chuck at Two Tracks and he agreed to make one of his Echo ASL longbows from the wood.  Intentionally a very plain bow, he did a superb job making "Dad's Bow".

SELFBOW, that Echo is anything but plain. One of the nicest longbows I've ever seen. Cool story, too.    :thumbsup:

I have not hunted this one yet but it is a sweet shooting bow and likes Snag's 65/70 Surewoods.  Bought it from a friend I originally met st Stickflingers. A Rampart 3 piece longbow 54#, 54@28".
