My dream bow is being made as I write this. A Saluki Genghis. Will hopefully have it around spring next year. Gonna be freaking awesome, to say the least   :goldtooth:

These two have a bunch of medicine from past hunts. Made from the sinew and rawhide of antelope taken over the years in Wyoming and dreams of taking a bunch more with them in hunts to come.

....and here's a pic of my latest dream bow - one of Mike Yancey's GhostDancer selfbows.  Sinew-backed osage w/ prairie rattler.  Just came in last week.  Good mojo from a good friend...   :thumbsup:      :notworthy:

You know, I finally have figured out my third bow...

I've got the modern heavy hunting lifters covered with the TallTines and the Super Shrew, but the third one is going to be a sentimental favorite; a bow from the year I was born the 1968 Super Kodiak!  I know where there is a perfect 50# sitting just waiting for the word to me mine   :D

Thanks guys.  That TallTines shoots better than it looks if you can believe it!  Those vaneers are from LeftyFred here on TradGang.  He supplies all the wood for Black Widow and many other top bowyers.  I am lucky enough to be a friend and live near his shop, so I got to pick my own Tulipwood for my bow.

I am still trying many to see if they are on the list or not.  My current favorite is my MOJO so I am not dreaming about that one anymore.  

Right now I am thinking more than dreaming on two.

1 Kajika stick with 56" and 62" curve limbs.

2 Fire Fly 60" route 66 or maybe med. grip.

3 I am still working on this one and they are more dream than thinking.  I need to shoot them all more to narrow it down.  So far the contenders are Black widow, Morrison LB, SS Shrew, Cari-bow Peregrine.
