I'm going to show my wife the lists of custom bows some of you own/owned. I'm looking pretty frugal now.

I've had several bows pass through my hands.   But only ever hunted with the three I've kept long-term, and I've taken game with all of them, though mostly small game.  The three in my signature....

Black Widow PMA
Black Widow PLX
Cascade Whitetail Hawk recurve
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

2006  64" Black Widow PMA
2009  66" Black Widow PLX
2023  56" Cascade Archery Whitetail Hawk
2023  52" Cascade Archery Golden Hawk Magnum

I have no idea, lol.  The vast majority of bows that I have owned have taken game.  I remember killiing hogs with 6 different bows on 6 consecutive weekends.  My feeble brain doesn't want to try to figure this out.

May have taken a couple hogs with my Big River D/R longbow 21st Century clone, as well.  Sometimes it's hard to remember what stick I was carrying, when. (6)

5 different Toelke s (3Whips and 2Pikas ranging from 34#-44# at my draw).  I did stray for a minute and took a doe w a black widow pch and a buck with a TradAl longbow.  But I'm back on the Toelke track.
