Can I pick my favorite 3?

Ive had some pretty cool bows but my favorite collectibles are:

Top: Ben Pearson arrow with 6X7 Barbed Ben Pearson Broadhead
Middle: 1960 Northwoods Quiver with Hood
Bottom: St. Charles quiver owned by the late Sterling Harrell and signed by Glenn

TRAP that is pretty cool.

I'm a quiver fanatic. I love the old NFAA patch that adorns Sterling's quiver.

Very cool stuff here. I used to own a butcher block 1959 Grizzly that very well could take the cake for me.

I think the coolest bow I own is this 1967 62" Wing Thunderbird that I have learned is likely a prototype futurewood bow built right before Bob sold Wing. This bow absolutely smokes arrows. Nothing classic I have owned compares. I am going to have it refinished a bit and hunt it.

Most guys would thing this should be my prize. I am the second owner of this bow. I bought it locally here. It's really a dream bow for sure. I have an original stabilizer and the catalog the original owner got when he bought it. He bought it in 1970 though and the catalog is a '70

Mangonboat - that BP is very cool. It looks like a shooter for sure!

Hopefully some other guys will post soon and they are just trying to determine the coolest of the cool bows they own!

an osage selfbow with slight flipping of tips made by Joe Mattingly and given to me as a gift just before he passed. RIP Joe.

Colin, bow porn is bad enough, but LEFTY bow porn! You're killing me! Those two are as good as it gets.

When Head Ski took over, did they run production on a 62" Futurewood T-bird? I've never seen one.

Ron,
That selfbow is priceless. It too would be my prized possession.

Mark,
This thread talks about the Thunderbird I own. It's not in the best shape, but man it shoots and Kelly described it as likely a prototype and "one rare bird"

My goal is to hunt that bow this fall

Here are some of my bows that are readily available for pics. I have been collecting for awhile, I have 35-40 bows. I have been cherry picking them, many were never shot pieces, not anymore! I really like bear Tijumins, Wing archery, pearsons, hell I like em all! I really like target bows. Hope you enjoy
the pics

I have 2 of Bob Swinehart's elephant broadheads. He was the first guy to kill Africa's Big 5 with a bow ( Howard Hill didn't get a rhino) It doesn't get much cooler than that for me!

TRAP · « **Reply #31 on:** March 02, 2017, 06:21:00 PM »

That's pretty cool, do you have a pic of the Broadheads?

Goshawkin · « **Reply #32 on:** March 02, 2017, 07:30:00 PM »

I can't post a pic on here from my phone. I can email or text a pic to someone if they could post it here. I made a display with one of the elephant heads, a dead head and a Hill head. Swinehart used all 3 on the big 5. Lion,leopard and buff with a deadhead. Rhino with a Hill head.

My favorite is my 67-1/2 super kodiak. Such a pretty bow and a real nice shooter too.

PAPALAPIN · « **Reply #34 on:** March 13, 2017, 10:11:00 AM »

Jack Howard Supreme Target bow... only two known to exist.

crazynate · « **Reply #35 on:** March 13, 2017, 11:42:00 AM »

I have a 10" Detroit Archers patch I like a lot. Only one that I know of in existence is owned by Johnny Razorhead. Just an odd item. Actually got it on here from a very generous trad gang member.

Mine are my 56 & 60 Kodiak Specials. I like how the Silver turns to pea soup green. Both shoot well.

My most prized was my mint '58 Kodiak until I picked up a '59 Kodiak last week.

Captain*Kirk · « **Reply #38 on:** April 07, 2017, 12:20:00 AM »

Without a doubt, my '69 HC300 Tamerlane.

ron w · « **Reply #39 on:** May 06, 2017, 04:10:00 PM »

Mine is a not so cool 67' Kodiak Hunter, just a nice old bow. I have a Polar and an Alaskan also. Some of you guys have great collections.........
