Just curious what other collectors consider thier "Holy Grail" of bows they still want.

For me, the ones I want are (figured I would list top 3)

1) Howatt Eldorado (it just looks cool!)
2) Bear special numbered ed takedown (Will never be able to afford but hey. I would just settle for for a nice B handle takedown, cant believe I dont have one :( )
3) Bear Formula Gold (I know, I'm wierd)

I want the B handle Bear TD that I bought in 1970.
Sold it in 1975 because I broke two sets of limbs in it.

Haven't been at this long. I am looking for a couple of bows right now but not sure if they are the "Holy Grail". I own 1959 Grizzly, Alaskan, and Kodiak Specials all at 48#'s. Now that I have (by accident) happened upon those I want to finish out the 1959 suite with a Kodiak and Polar both at 48#'s.

Then I have my eye out for a Wellman Archery Bow. I have heard good things about them, but I am looking for one of these largely because they were made about 20min from where we live and it's a piece of local history.

After I have been at this a few more years I might better know what the true holy grail bow is for me.
