How many custom bows you've had & what's your keeper?

[Lefty]

JD Berry pit viper
Massie longhorn
BW SAG
BW SAII
BW SAV
BW HS 60
Wilson Bros BW
Super Shrew
Adcock ACS
Thunderstick MOAB
Couple different production bows

All are gone but the SAV and the MOAB, got a new ACS CX on order though.  Would still like to try a few others, like a Morrison, Horne, and another Black Widow, to name a few.

[String Cutter]

Lefty , you don't want ta  sell dat Pit Viper do ya????  :D

[Jim Moore]

Can I count the solid bamboo composite bow that HH made for muh pa?

If not:

First was a Marriah Thermal.  One bad mamma jamma here.

Next was a Stotler bow made for me by Bob and Jim Stotler.

#3 Yellowstone T/D longbow.  
#4 Yellowstone Renegade

Them Y-stones are the best longbows I've ever shot.

[Bowhunter4life]

To many to count!  Plus if I actually put it down in black and white I believe that is called evidence...          

Keepers:
 
O.L. Adcock ACS-CX (3-piece Aluminum riser 70# @ 29")
A&H ACS-CX (3-piece Aluminum riser 55# @ 29")
O.L. Adcock ACS-CX (1-piece 53# @ 29")
DAS Master Hunter (46#, 56#, 60# @ 30" WinEx)
DAS Dalaa (two pair of 65# @ 30" Carbon/woods)

Oh, and I've got an Elburg Cheetah, reverse handled 64" recurve that was one of Dr. Ashby's test bows back in the day.  Approximately 110# @ 29"...  Not that it shoots all that well as it is very similar to a strung 2x4, but a good conversation piece none the less...

Also have an O.L. Adcock ACS-CX Apogee on order...  Full Camo (Mossy Oak Forest Floor) with a Bocote medium recurve grip.

 Times have changed...

I don't think I own any of the bows listed above anymore...

Morrison Shawnee, 62", Carbon Foam Dakota, 64# @ 29"
Morrison Shawnee, 62", Carbon Foam Dakota, 60# @ 29"
Morrison Shawnee, 62", Bamboo Dakota, 58# @ 29", and a set of 56" Arapaho 60# @ 29"
Morrison Cougar, 62", 55# @ 29"
Morrison Cheyenne, 58", 67# @ 29"
A&H ACS-CX, 3-piece, 70# @ 29"

Also have a different "conversation piece", Jack Harrison HSS, 62", 101# @ 29", which I would sell if I could get what I have into it back out of it...

[Tom Leemans]

I had a Marriah Chinook, until I started making my own bows. Heck, I think I sold that one to Shawn Leonard. I do have a handcrafted Ferret bow and Dano bow though. Actually, my daughter says those are hers.

Beware the man who shoots one gun.

[Golden Hawk]

As bad as I hate to admit this ....I was asked this same question in deer camp in Michigan this year. My reply was that I have had over 200 bows!!! Most of them customs. My keepers are my 7 RER bows of which my Favorite is my 56" Vortex 53@28. I would also have to consider my Timberghost T/D longbow a keeper.

[MI_Bowhunter]

I've only ever had two and I got them (used) a week ago.

Cooks Mountain Archery Raptor LB - My fav so far
Kota Prairie Nomad T/D LB  - Nice bow but likes to slap my arm.

The next bow I will buy new:  Horne Brushbow


My current non-custom bows consist of:

Bear Grizzly
Root Gamemaster
Shakespear X18

[beachbowhunter]

Customs made for me:

Zipper Extreme
Marriah Thermal
TimberGhost

I can't/won't sell any of them cuz they have my name on them!  I do have one with a certain cosmic gentleman from Georgia's name on it though

[Lefty]

WoW!  Don't know if I can remember them all, but here goes:
Owned:  Morrison, Shrew, DAS, Black Widow, Adcock, A&H, Crow Creek, Massie, Warf, Quarf, Quinn, Griffin, JD Berry, and I am sure there are a couple I just forgot.  Some I have owned multiples of, like Black Widow.  Owned alot of different ones and always will have at least one Widow in the stable.  
  The bows I currently own are Black Widow PLGA, A&H ACS CX, and a Quarf.  One bow I always regret selling was a Massie Longhorn.  Best shooting bow is my ACS CX followed closely by a Widow SAV.  Best value was definately the Quinn.  Would still own the Quinn, but sold it cheap to a close friend.  I currently have a bow on order with O.L. and have plans to get another A&H someday (maybe that new 16 riser).  Still want to try a Centuar someday and Widows are always held near and dear to my heart.  For there rich history, unbeatable customer service, and for such an outstanding product.  Probably have a few more of those over the coming years.  No since stating the ones I disliked.  Many of those have huge followings and just goes to show, not every bow will fit you or your style.
  It is a terrible addiction, but there are worse things to be addicted to.  Have Fun!!
