Steve O., My Tall Tines is in getting worked on this week. I am building another bow for myself off or the same form I used to make the HerdBull Bow. I'm using the same wood and veneer combinations on my bow as Brian will be using on the take down he is building for me. Brian will soon be a sponsor and he will have a website sortly so others can experience what we have. Mike

I would love to own (and will one day...) a decked out Zipper SXT.

Every Silvertip that I have picked up was a outstanding shooter. They would high on my list also.

I got #3 covered already. Blacktail Snakebit;

Okay, I have to get 4 bows, because I can't narrow it down to just 3. I need 3 dream bows for hunting and shooting and one to fulfill my fantasy of having the prettiest bow made. These are not listed in any particular order of preference. For specific purposes, I might choose a bow that is slightly different than the specific models I have listed. For instance, to hunt cape buffalo in Africa I chose a Super Shrew Samurai with a Bow Bolt because of its heavier poundage, but it is very similar to its little brother, the Shrew Classic Hunter listed below. For the vast majority of my hunting I would choose the Classic Hunter over the Super Shrew.

Morrison Mini-14 ILF with foam/carbon limbs (interchangeable longbow and recurve limbs, adjustable for poundage and tiller). The most versatile of my favorites.

Shrew Classic Hunter with foam/carbon limbs and Bow Bolt (light, quick, short, great grip, easiest to pack for travel). The most comfortable to use all day long and most fun to shoot of my favorites.

Brackenbury Peerless (Bill Howland's latest design). The smoothest, quietest, most shock free bow I have ever shot, and it does all that without sacrificing speed. This bow combines many of the best characteristics of a target bow and a hunting bow and would be my first choice for 3D shoots.

Blacktail Snakebit (the most beautiful bow ever built). The Snakebit would not have made this list if I were picking my dream bows for shooting, even though it is a great shooting bow. For hunting or shooting targets, I would grab one of the other three bows I have listed before I got to the Snakebit. But the Snakebit is the bow I dream of at night when I think of the most beautiful objects in the world. It is truly a work of art that makes an archer fall in love at first sight! I could just sit around and look at mine all day. I do like to shoot it; however, it is much to pretty to risk ever damaging it.

All of these bows are amazing. I know there are other really good ones out there, but these are the bows of my dreams!

awesome bows guys keep em comin I have new bow bow I want to get a samick stingray or the samick equus they both look like 2 of the black widow bow models.

Dave Bulla · « **Reply #67 on:** September 05, 2009, 12:38:00 AM »

Well, two of my choices would be self bows. One an osage bow by Dean Torges made to pull about 65# at 32". Typical Torges style with some nice copperhead skins on the back.

The other would be a yew longbow of the same specs by a guy many of you probably never heard of. Back before tradgang ever started and when the *********** was new and about the only thing available, there was a man by the name of Jim Fetrow who used to post there. I never met him in person but got to see one of his bows and also a very old bow that he did a full restoration on. If half of what he seemed to know about building yew wood bows is true, he knows more than just about anybody I've ever heard of. I think his main advantage was access to his own yew wood sources, being incredibly picky about staves and incredible attention to detail. Amazing bows in every way.

The third would be a bow I almost bought when I was first getting started in trad bows. It was in a gun shop in Olathe Kansas and I think it was priced at an even $1000 and I'd never seen anything like it. Later I got to very briefly meet the man who built it and heard a lot of stories about him. His name? Jerry Pierce. The bow? A Choctaw recurve. Sure wish I'd made an impulse buy on that bow....

An original Fred Bear Custom Takedown (and I'd use it)

A Torges bow. Either the baleen composite or a selfbow.

A nice little authentic sinew/sage pony bow.

WildmanSC · « **Reply #72 on:** October 02, 2009, 10:49:00 PM »

I own my first choice, a Marriah Thermal, 60", 46#@28":

The second one is on its way to me, a new to me Schafer Silvertip:

And the third would be either a Blacktail or Wes Wallace T/D recurve. It might well be a Wes Wallace if I could find one with the gorgeous Cocobolo in the one Doc Blues has posted at the top of this page and in my draw weight range, 46-48#@28".

My No.1 dream bow is a Dale Dye Medicine point recurve and I have 2, so I got that covered. My No.2 would be a 62"Robertson Fatal Styk recurve. No.3 a 62" Zipper extreme recurve.

I want and will have one day:

1. Shrew Classic Hunter - 52" to 56" not sure of wood yet

2. Great Plains SR Swift - 58" Blackhawk or Rio Bravo

3. I have a Mohawk on the way and if it fits me well then that will be #3, if not then the search continues.

I guess I would love a 64 inch Tolke whip 48 @ 30.

Also a Dwyer Dauntless 64 inch Yew and Boo cores with Bocote riser

Third might be a tree stick or an a-pex predator slight R/D long bow.

Bob.

For their great shooting ability-Blacktail Bows
For their great craftsmanship----Blacktail Bows
For their beautiful design-------Blacktail Bows

I have shot quite a few of the bows listed here. There are a lot of good ones. For me there is only one that comes to the top...time and again. Isn't it great to live in the USA where we have choices?....still....for now....
