Without a doubt my 62” Talltines, 59@29 and puts a heavy arrow right where I’m looking. I’ve taken it through high temps in Arizona to cold temps in Colorado and never doubted it would work when I needed it to.

My 68" yew Northern Mist Shelton. Really good bow.

Kelly · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2022, 12:05:56 AM »

Definitely a longbow!

My favorite would be my 68" hickory longbow, but for endurance I would have to go with a fiberglass longbow.

Homemade glass laminated one piece reverse handle longbow; 66” and 55lb. If I’m picking every little detail, probably elm limbs and any heavy hardwood for the handle. Something like this.

Recurve, I'd go with my Big River. Longbow, I'd got with 60" MOAB or 60" Big River 21st Century clone. If pushed hard, MOAB would probably get the nod for just one bow.

Recurve, probably my Toelke SSLR because there’s no twisting those limb tips! It is a sturdy bow! Longbow, probably a 66”-68” straight or slightly r/d limb bow like the Super D or Dwyer Original etc. ie nothing with fragile tips.

Probably me Northern Mist Ramer....

Hoyt satori. They are about as bomb proof as you can get. Especially with a over 31” draw. They are functional and accurate. But I don’t like the looks.

That would be a tough choice. After twenty five years of actively pursuing “the bow”, I have small stable of bows I really like. Three are longbows, Stickflinger, Liberty English, Black Widow PLX. Only problem with them is they are all under 50#. For me, I’d want a 50# bow for an all purpose bow. (Still have moose hunting on my mind and I am required to use at least 50#).

And right now, that leaves me with my only recurve on the list. A Black Widow PSA-X 50#@28”. And it is built like a tank.

Love my PSA….will second that its a tough “tank”. However, get a loose limb bolt or lose one..in a survival situation would be problematic.

I'd have to go with my THUNDER STICK MAG , 56"/50# , made in2005

BIG surprise... Either of my Montana Longbows

Durable , simple,lethal design and the glass should keep them functional for a L-O-N-G time !

If not a modern (glass) Mild R/D or straight Longbow...I would be in search of some good straight Osage ..then Hickory in that order

I really believe straight or very mild R/D longbows are as tough a bow as can be had of wood or wood glass combo ....If we are talking that option...if its a whats on hand/natural thing....in these parts (luck me;) we have excellent access to osage and hickory . Fun thread !

Terry Green · « **Reply #34 on:** July 02, 2023, 11:12:46 AM »

My #1 choice would be a 1 piece R/D longbow, such as the no longer made Jim Reynolds Thunderstick MOAB, preferably around 60 inches. Great width to depth limbs for durability with great performance also. One piece for the sake of not having a failure with a take down. However, the same bow in a two piece would be my 2nd choice.

No stringer, no bolts, no tools. Just something else to screw up and keep up with when there is no need for any of that in a survival scenario....

Again. A lot of good choices out there, but this one's easy My Sunset hill longbow.

matt steed · « **Reply #36 on:** July 02, 2023, 08:46:18 PM »

One piece longbow.

My Cari-Bow Peregrine

David Mitchell · « **Reply #38 on:** July 03, 2023, 12:01:53 PM »

One piece ASL style longbow--no limb twist issues, no stringer needed.

blacktailbob · « **Reply #39 on:** July 03, 2023, 12:21:04 PM »

C'mon now, we want to see some photos of your favorite sticks.

Mine is a Blacktail Sitka that I've dropped on the concrete patio more than once.

Broken nocks, too loose of a grip and...

It can take a beating.
I do hold it tighter nowadays. Are spare limbs allowed? I have a set.
