Brackenbury Drifter
Massie Longhorn

Pronghorn 3-piece
Pronghorn 1-piece
Horne Combo longbow
Roy Hall Navajo
Selway Li'l Shooter
Great Plains T/D Longbow
Great Plains long curve
Bitterroot T/D Longbow
'Mongrel' ILF recurve
58" Osage ambush bow
Jerry Hill (yuk!)

Plus a load of production bows. Some of the above are now memories, most are hanging in the workcave!

If they changed the law tommorrow & I could only keep one, it'd definately, without a doubt be the Horne.

Wish list bows would be a Shrew Samurai Longbow, Morrison longbow & a Rodney Wright Firehawk.

Times change too....

Still have the ACS-CX 70# @ 29", 64"

Morrison Shawnee 62", 60# @ 29" Carbon/Foam Dakotas
Morrison Shawnee 62", 64# @ 29" Carbon/Foam Dakotas
Morrison Shawnee 62", 58# @ 29" Bamboo Core Dakotas and a second set of 58", 61# @ 29" Arapaho Bamboo cores
Morrison Cheyenne 58", 69# @ 30" Bamboo Cores
Morrison Cougar 62", 55# @ 29" Bamboo Cores

And traded the Elburg heavyweight for a Jack Harrison HSS, 62", 101# @ 29", but this one actually shoots rather nicely...

I've owned and shot many over the years.  My first was a Ron Maulding Tamarack Bighorn that I still have.  Favorites are a Robertson Mystical and Vision, GN Critter Gitter, Selway (Centaur) Lil Mag, and an old Dave Johnson cedar cored Hill Style.

I have only owned two custom bows and still have them.  A Crow Creek Blackfeather and a Crow Creek Dalton.  Since I got these my other bows don't leave the rack anymore.  I love them both but if I had to choose between the two I think I would have to go with the Dalton.  I'm so glad I don't have to choose though.

They other bows I have are:
Bear Kodiak Magnum
Bear Blackbear
Pearson Hawk
PSE Impala
Martin Hunter

Never thought of this before until I typed my list but the ones I don't shoot anymore are all recurves.

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!
