Have U found your bow?
« on: January 21, 2017, 07:16:00 AM »
You know, the bow that does it for you. Although I really like several others I own and BTW will never part with. Dryad Orion is my favorite bow. The grip is so comfortable and repeatable, shelf as close to your hand as it can get. The ACS RC limbs really are a pleasure to shoot. They feel like they get lighter at full draw,not like others that really start to pick up the lbs. at the end of the draw, flat out zip an arrow. My accuracy has increased because of the speed of these limbs and I am shooting heavy hunting weight arrows. Gold Tips 7595's full length with 50grn inserts and 145 grn heads. I like the Orion so much I ordered a second bow,this time with the ACS LB limbs. These too really throw an arrow, no down side here with these limbs. Super quiet and smooth drawing. I am a fan.

Getting close! Haven't shot anything but an Imperial for a while, but I'm still tinkering with the grip some and trying to find the best draw weight and length for the shooting that I do. The experimentation is half the fun!

Black Widow PSAX.  Been my go to bow for quite a few years now and before that a SA. It is the bow that others get judged by. With that said I am really liking the Bear TD.
Haven't tried an ILF rig yet , may some day.

Mine is my Stalker Coyote FXT LB, I have had it for 4 yrs and have bought and sold many others since. I don't shoot any other bow as well as this bow! It's smooth drawing, quiet and fast. South builds awesome Bows.

It'd either going to be a Toelke Pika or Treadway Black Swamp.  No other bows compare for me.

I have had "the one" many times.

I currently have three bows that are in that category: Abbott longbow, Brackenbury recurve, Thunderhorn longbow.

Yes!

Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbow.

I got my first one in 2009. I have bought 2 new longbows since then. They have both been Sarrels Blueridge longbows with the same specs. The only reason I bought another was that I wanted something new and different looking!

I have shot a lot of others, but always put them down and come back to my Blueridge!

For me, it's my A&H ACS longbow. I have owned a few of the over the past several years.  I have bounced around like everyone else...trying different stuff.  I'm done now...my ACS is here to stay!   :bigsmyl:

I've bought and sold many bows over the years and have finally found what I've been looking for in my Toelke Lynx with recurve limbs and my 3 piece Stewart Slammer longbow.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Toelke Whip!  This bow is very light, very quiet, smooth, and I shoot well with it.  No other bow for me!

"One best bow" no, not yet. But I am really liking my new Vintage Works 62 Bear replica. Could be because I had it made a few pounds lighter and I can shoot many, many arrows without tiring. It also fits me well, i.e. grip. IME for ME the grip is the most important thing.
