I would say my favorite bows that I've had we're a Jordan stalker longbow, Bob Thompson zipper, and the kwyk styk I have now. My dream bow would have to be a 58" Schafer recurve

My favorite bow right now is my Howatt Hi-Speed, because I shoot it the best. My dream bows would be a Blacktail,Schafer,Tall Tines,Black Widow or Toelke.

My favorite is the bow in my signature. Of the 200+ bows that I've owned or shot, it performs the best in my hands of any bow available regardless of price points from cheap production bows through $2500 customs.

As for a dream bow, I like the one in my signature although I do wish it were a 2-piece take down only because that would make traveling with it less cumbersome. I don't know if I would do fancy exotic veneers or just go with some bias cut grey laminate if I had to order another though. I love the pretty woods, but I hunt mostly in oaks and hickories and the grey bows just disappear in that environment and look almost just like the natural tree bark in the area.

I can’t decide which bow will be next Whip, Centaur, or Maybe a Schaefer recurve?? I I’ve been looking for a Whippenstick in 40-45#, but no luck yet. This hobby sure is addictive

Funny how that dream bow thing works......I wanted a Silvertip for years. Through buying and selling and trade'n I finally got one. I shot well with it and it has the best grip I have ever held. But it just did not trip my trigger. I have had a bunch of good bows but I just seem to get back to bows made by Chad Holms. I also have a bunch of ASL's that really are fun to shoot.

One and the same for me too, Blacktails and Treadways. Will take delivery of a new Black Forest from Mike at TBOF this March.

I've got a Caribow Featherhorn that I though about for a few years. Finally ordered one and got it about a year and a half ago. This is the one I'll hang on to for a long time.

I think I've got mine. 2 of them. One is a Primal Tech longbow and then my Black Widow PCH. I love the Black Widow factory graybark pattern on my recurve, but my longbow is absolutely gorgeous. Both of them are shooters too!!

My favorite right now is my Howard Hill Special Edition Black Mamba followed by my 2PC Wes Wallace Royal and Yellowstone longbow. Ken

I guess I'm plain jane. The bows that have fitted my style the best are the Martin hunters. would love to find one in a lefty at 45#'s. I've also had a Kanata and that grip fits very well. As I age ,I've been getting rid of the high poundage bows,but always looking for the Holy Grail of bows. don't know what it is ,but I'll know it when i shoot it

I weighed options for a year or two before building a dream bow; 2 piece caribow featherhorn, yew core, cocobolo handle, beavertail grip. I love it. Want another but a 2 piece wolverine model.

A decked out blacktail would be somethi g to have some day.

Finally, I’m not a recurve guy, but Danny Rowans Silvertip known as “Love Potion #9” is bar none the sexiest bow I have ever seen!

Longtoke · « **Reply #31 on:** February 11, 2018, 03:52:00 PM »

Out of all that I have tried my favorites so far would be toelke and centaur

A black phenolic Bear Super Kodiak.

JD Berry Yahweh my first custom bow bought about 20 yrs ago and newly bought Shrew Super Samurai

I currently have 3 Schafer’s. Those are the bows for me!

mahantango · « **Reply #35 on:** February 11, 2018, 05:32:00 PM »

I'm pretty content with the bows I have now, both current and vintage, but two that I haven't gotten my mitts on and would like to are Centaur and Saluki.

Whip · « **Reply #36 on:** February 11, 2018, 08:25:00 PM »

I've been through more bows than I would ever want to admit to. I've pretty much settled on the best of the best for me and haven't bought anything new in quite awhile now. Still have way more than I need.

But I do find myself lusting over a Blacktail T/D longbow since shooting my buddies a couple of months ago. That could prove to be a very expensive test drive.

For me it's my Centaur. Had it made two years ago, is everything I want and fits me like a glove. Impeccable workmanship, it is the bow that will never leave me.
I will say that I went through a lot of bows to get to this point, both long bows and recurves, and from a lot of great bowlers.

I love my Bodnik Slick Stick. Shoot it better than any bow I have ever had. For several reasons it will always be my favorite. That said If money was no object I would love to own an Caribow Slynx. There are just so many Great Bows Being made right now. Hell, for a while now. Alot of Gifted people out there. Our gain!
