The only 3 piece that I've got is a Stillwater Aberdeen recurve made by Gene McGlashen. It's super smooth, quiet, and fast. 60", 57@29.
I'll try and get a picture up at some point.
My first handmade bow was an Aberdeen. Sold it to a buddy.  Working on getting it back.

It's a great bow. I was really fortunate that one of my friends was good friends with Gene, and was able to give me the first crack at buying it. Hopefully you are able to get it back!

My favorite all time bow is my bear takedown I bought new in 1971.

Was $185.00 back then.

It's the best shooting bow I've ever shot and has put a lot of deer on the ground.



I had the bow hospital redo the riser a year ago and it looks like new.

My favorite 3-piece is a Stewart Slammer. The riser is nice and heavy, and the limbs are super snappy.  It is the most forgiving bow I own.

My favorite is the last one I built because it is the last one I built.
It is a 56" sinew backed Pacific yew bow with 2 courses of elk sinew and 1 of moose sinew and a timber rattler cover. Pulls 48#@26". I got the name because it took 7 months to complete.

I like it because it is a Blacktail, it is perfectly put together, is quiet, fast, and feels great throughout the shot. I also love the exotic woods.

I really like shooting my Wes Wallace Royal LB but to be honest I shoot my Bear B Mag riser with Bigfoot limbs the most consistent.

I like Bear Takedowns to the extent that I now have a small collection of them. I can now get almost any combination for almost any situation. Here are some of them.

I love my Bob Lee Bicentenial recurves, both 62",
46# @ 28 and 56# @ 28. The 46 has Birdseye maple limbs and the 56 is Shedua. Very solid bows.

If money were no object would love to purchase one of the Blacktail hand carved bows. Since it is an object, I'll stick with Bob Lee.

Bought a 60# Predator from a friend in 2000 and still have and shoot that bow. Bought a second one with a phenolic riser this winter at 52# to lend to son in law to shoot. And have a 70# set of limbs for if I ever go on that buffalo hunt in Argentina. I never take my bows apart so that's why my other 8 bows are one piece including a new WW stealth I just got. Really just a smooth shooter...…………..
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

More than just a pretty face. Yesterday groups. First time in years I could wrap my fingers around a six arrow 20yd group.
20 and 25 yds. Back to back.  I've never shot 25yds this good for six arrows. And no I don't expect it everyday either. Yesterday was just a good day.
Yes it cost a bunch but life is short and I'm 65 today.
Thanks Norm and Alan!
