List all the longbows you have shot & your favorite

[TaterHill Archer]

Habu Death Adder, Martin Savannah, A&H ACS CX.

Habu Death Adder was my favorite.  It was a 2003 model with a sort of square grip.  When I got it, I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it turned out to be the bow I was the most consistent with.  It was a little heavy for me so I sold it.

However, I have a Brackenbury Non-Typical and Habu VyperKahn L coming.  I sent the money in for my Morrison Shawnee limbs, so I'll get to shoot that one soon.

I've shot a couple of Roy Halls, A Bob Lee, A 58" Treadway,A Wes Wallace Royal  [a very nice bow]Mon River Possum Stick and Mountain Bow, MOAB,  Bear Montana, Martin's .

JK Traditions, Mahaska, Martin ML10, Bear Cub, and selfbows I have built.

The JK by Jason Kendall is the best. I have a Katani on order. I hope that will be the absolute best.

[chrisg]

Samick equus recurve, samick longbow, Johnny Snyman selfbow, Timberpoint r/d longbow, Old Pearson fibreglass youth bow in sixties and about twenty of my own. I thought I was a bow nut but the lists here are the stuff of dreams, I assume you guys trade on and never actually 'own more than a couple' at a time?  
Stunning that there is so much choice and quality out there.
Henri Cartier Bresson (I think it was him)took all his pictures with a 35mm SLR and 50 mm lens, said there wasn't enough time to learn any other and he had not exhausted the possibilities of that one lens. Austere and fabulous photographer that he was!

[eagle24]

Harrelson, Marriah, Black Widow, Turkey Creek, ACS-CX, Horne, Morrison, Howard Hill, Dwyer, Tomahawk, Navajo, Great Plains, Martin, 21st Century, numerous self bows and laminated bows made by less known bowyers.  Probably some I'm forgetting.

Presently own 3 Harrelsons, 2 ACS-CX, 1 Turkey Creek, & 1 Osage Selfbow (Eric Krewson).  I have a "best" and a "favorite" and they are not the same.  My "favorite" (the bow I hunt with) changes from week to week.
