The one I've been shooting the most lately is the ACS CX Cocobolo RC 64" 50@30. Took me awhile to get used to it but it's the most accurate bow I've ever shot. The one I would never sell is my Widow MAIII, 62" 51@30 that I bought new in 97". With all the bows I've had it's always been my "goto" bow.

[Bird Dog]

Way to many to remember. My keepers are  Hummingbird, Shrew, Fedora, RER and Firely.

[BradLantz]

I don't know ....... 100 or more ?

I've sold them all, even my precious, most beloved Adcock and kept only one.

All Bamboo Zipper, its what I shoot, and only what I shoot.


for now  

[tmccall]

My keepers are all Dryad bows...  Between me and my boys we've got 6 custom Dryad bows right now!  These are awesome bows and are, bar none, my favorite!

My latest love is the Dryad Orion, 3-piece longbow.

Martin Savannah
Bear Royal Safari
Toelke Whip (keeper)

[30coupe]

Mahaska
Kota

Kanati

My keepers are the Kanati's. The 52# is my go-to bow. The others were fine bows, but none of them comes close to the Kanati.

[Fletcher]

No telling what I've had over the years, altho many of them are still hanging in the basement.  The keepers?  I think I could live with these, at least until I need to drop weight again.  Each has their own unique feel, character and spirit.

Selway Lil Mag - basically an early Centaur
Old Dave Johnson Cedar Hill style
Robertson Vision LB with bamboo limbs and juniper veneers
Great Northern Critter Gitter
