With so many good bows out there I’m curious to know what are favorite bows they have or what would be your dream bow to acquire?

I pretty much have my dream bows. Still looking for the right J.D. Berry, Jack Harrison and Fred Anderson longbows.

My favorite bows are Hill style bows. I have five from HHA and two from Northern Mist. All are 68" long and all but one are in the range of 50-65# draw weight. The odd one is 40# draw weight.

There are some others I would like to acquire such as something from Berry, and I also would like to get a Ramer from Steve Turay.

The bows I have are nothing special but I often dream of shooting them better.

Love my Tall Tines Stickflingers!

I have a couple favorite bows but my Dream bow is ILF BB, 25" riser too many to pick just one, with long limbs. But it's going to have to be just a dream bow for now.

I have had a bunch. Liberty Chief, Tall Tines recurve, JD Berry Morningstar, and a Blacktail. I liked each one.

My dream Bow? I guess it's a Stickflinger. I am waiting on one to be delivered. I am trying to cross over to all longbows.

Kind of tough as I used to think I was recurve guy. I felt more confidant when I hunted with one. If it doesn't work for me I'll pick up another Tall Tines recurve.

I have two of the three dream bows. My Toelke Pika and my original Schafer Silvertip recurve. The bow I have always wanted is a 68” HHA Wesley Special. I just don’t know what grip to get, so I guess that’s what has always stopped me from ordering one.

posts like this make me want to go out and buy bows :D

my favorite ones right now that I shoot the most also are the tt titan and the unfortunately out-of-production whippenstick.

not sure what to dream of that would shoot better than the above two. But I will follow this thread for inspiration

My favorite is my present Silvertip, my dream bow will be my next and last Silvertip.
Macassar Ebony riser with Black and White Ebony double crescent, B&W ebony limb veneers and rough sheep tips and overlays.

I like Hill style bows. I have two JD Berrys, one I made and one Sunset Hill that all are superior to any other longbow that I have ever played with. If I wanted another bow, I cannot imagine what it would be.

Mine is a Saluki Sycthian, I had 2 in the past and man they're sweet. Second would be the S-tip with camo limbs like bldtrailer.

I have not even shot all the styles of bows yet. I cannot make up my mind.

I have my dream bows if I ever have to change it will be for a different poundage or wood combo. Same bows.

My favorite is my Tall Tines Stickflinger. Hybrid performance and as quiet as a Hill bow. Brian came up with something special with that one. That being said, my other favorites are in my signature. My Cleland Stickbow is a sensational shooter, and is a bit different than some other bows. Gregg Coffeys bows have always been among my favorite ever, and Big Jims, and about a half dozen other bowyers

I have owned and tried several different custom bows over the years. But never found one that fit or impressed me as much as my Martins, Hunter, Scorpion, Super Diablo, Mamba and hopefully one day Martins new Diablo Super Elite. I always keep my eyes open for old Martins as well. I was lucky enough to come an old Diablo on RMS Gear last October that I was blessed to harvest a beautiful coyote and 9 pointer the following weekend after receiving it.

I have a Mohawk that is a current favorite. Smooth draw and so quiet on the release. Vince knows how to make a great bow!

I have answered posts like this before and usually a few years I go back and see my answers have changed since then.

My favs right now are my Big Jim Thunderchild and my Black Ram Traditions recurve. Also I love my 60 kodiak and 68 Grizzly.

At this stage of the game, my favorites and dream bows are the same. Between my Schafer Silvertips, and Blacktail recurves, I can't imagine any thing better. I am a lucky man.
