Right now it would be just about any nice 1 piece longbow so I could get to shooting.

Assuming the bow I have is NOT my DREAM bow, which is just about a lead pipe cinch that I won't be, I guess I would take an Adcock 3 piece longbow.  Every time I go back and look at pictures of them I want one.  Too bad they are WAY out of my range.  Sadly it probably will REMAIN in the category of DREAM BOW.

Oh well....

Wait a sec...if anyone out there happens to be reading this thread and is feeling overly PHILANTHROPIC, I will gladly accept your gift!  :bigsmyl:

I already have it, I just am not sure which one it is.  Would have a real tough time deciding between my Hill, Robertson, GN Critter Gitter or Dwyer longbows.  Would pick one about 55# and 64 inches, maybe two inches longer on the Hill.  Luckily, I don't have to pick.

Currently my dream bow is a Hill Halfbreed (yew outside and boo in) around 55# @ 28 with clear glass, elk tips and wrap and a bacote riser.  Not sure about the grip, probably either straight or locator (big hands but used to my pistol grip recurve).

I hope to order that in a month or so, so we'll see if it remains my dream bow or not.  :-D

I'll amend mine and say that the Morrison riser I am getting is somewhat plain compared to many.  My ideal Morrison would have a riser more like this one:

These Great Plains bows are beautiful. Perhaps when I chose my Morrison, it was good that I didn't know all the available options...might have been overwhelming.     :confused:

I have not shot enough bows to  know what my "dream bow" is, or would be. I just bought a new Mahantango, ad it is pretty sweet. It is a Hill style bow and now I am really into this style bow. I've been looking around and I think I would love a 70" Hill Roughed Grouse with an extra lam of boo that draws in the low to mid 50's#.     :pray:
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Lots of Silvertip mentions. They sure are sweet looking.

Mine remains a dream. The one that draws the biggest critters, never misses, a dream to draw & let loose etc. etc. etc.
In reality, any bow I can shoot when I'm in range of a nice quarry.

It is the thrill of the hunt I seek most. Doesn't matter what vehicle if any I used to get there, what "lucky" clothes I have on, where or when really, long as it's legal, or what bow or arrow. It is the hunt.

Long live DA HUNT!

I got to fondle a Snakebit this weekend. I'd have to say I'll second BMN. Nicest piece of art I have seen. (Thanks JL)

I THOUGHT THE OBJECT OF PASSION WAS TO NEVER STOP DREAMING. THE BOW IS A TOOL IN THE DREAM OF THE PEFECTLY PLACED ARROW ON THE SHOT OF A LIFETIME.

True enough...but at some point you have to stop dreaming momentarily and make a purchase.    :)   Then you can start dreaming of the next one.   :archer:

The bow Fred Bear used to take his big Kodiak on the beach. That bow would have a lot of mojo. I would have to learn to shoot left handed, though.
