JIM

You are welcomed to the other two, but I got dibs on the Target Supreme.

If I were not so technologically challenged, I have pictures I could post.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Does it actually exist or is there just a photo of one. Do you know anything about it. Jim

Oh, it exists.  Or at least it did.  I have a post card that Jack put out showing different views of the Supreme and his original Gamemaster.  

The supreme was actually a target weight Gamemaster with extra rosewood added on the back and the belly side of the riser.   It was made in such a way that you used the high points of the rosewood caps to mount a sight.  

If someone will send me an e-mail to

 [email protected]

I will e-mail a picture that you can post here.  

I am technologically challenged and never learned to use PhotoBucket.  :laughing:

For me it's just one bow...an original 1953 St. Charles Thunderbird.

BROCK

Today I picked up a "perfect Cobra II"  It may be kind of light at 36# but you did not specify a weight.

This is out of the box new condition.

Jack,

Agreed. I have seen bows by Pope, Young and Thompson but never for sale. It would be something to find one of their bows that no one knew about, or one by Ishi, Grumley, Chester Stevenson, or Howard Hill. Considering how easily those old bows are damaged, it would have be one stored in an air conditioned vault.

the holy grail was never found?
I'll stick with something I can get my hand on, next is a Paul shafer silvertip, original in a light shootable weight, then a Moriah, then a bear paw, then a toelke, each one is the holy grail until I get it.  When done I will have a bow from all the local bowyers.

I think a 1960 Kodiak like traps' would be a pretty great bow to aspire to...along with a 59' Kodiak of course. I also have been watching for a 63' dogleg, 50# range....cuz' it is the year I was born! I just love bows....

Right now mine would be a '58 Kodiak 56" to complete the set.

Then I would start looking for the rest of the '58 specials.

Almost forgot I would like to have a '58 Black Widow too!
