Anybody have that one bow......
« on: March 24, 2008, 08:14:00 PM »
You know the bow, its the one you keep going back to. Even after you spent all that money on a new custom bow. Mine is a 64" 65lb Dwyer longbow. No matter how many bows I trade or buy I keep going back to this one. I know it has a bit more hand shock than a recurve or a hybrid, and its a bit longer than a lot of bows, but I sure do love to shoot it. I killed 5 deer with that bow last year. Im just curious what bow do you keep going back to. Post some pictures if you have them. Here is a picture of my treasured stick.....I never get tired of looking at this picture.

I had one like that....once.  :knothead:  

It was a 60" 59@28 Chaparral Alpine Deluxe. I sold it to a fellow Trad Ganger and would love to get it back.

Windstorm longbow. Just had the weight dropped 10# and refinished. It just fits right and is dependable even when I am not.

Nice Deer! I'll bet that got your heart going when he stepped out.
Yes, I keep going back to my first bow. It's a 60" Black Widow, PSA. I've tried other very nice bows that are lighter to carry and shorter. She just feels like an old couch. Most likely because of all bad shooting habits I developed and broke with it. No pictures, I don't use a camera much.

Funny thing about that deer is I shot it at 10 feet out of a ground blind. It was my first deer from the ground. It took almost an hour before I could stop shaking enough to unzip the blind  :biglaugh:

I don't have that "one" bow yet, but I have narrowed it down to 2. ;)  My Silvertip and my Widow PAX.  They both shoot great!!  I have some tough decisions to make before hunting season starts.

Yeah, my Wes Wallace Mentor takedown recurve.  I keep trying other stuff, don't know why.  Wish I had spent all that money on more Mentors.  Just a solid, good-shooting, good-looking bow built by a stand-up guy.
