Regrettable sold-would like to buy back
« on: January 13, 2010, 03:39:00 PM »
Read another TG'ers post on bows you have sold and were sorry after and thought I'd open this to not hijack his post.  Looking for my first trad bow--a 1999 MAIII 62" with serial# 99383 to buy back for my now 12 year old son.  If you have this bow and its not in use; PM me and I'd buy it back.  Thanks.  Anyone else looking for a lost love?

I am looking for the Horne Brush Bow I built for myself while I worked for Mark and Sandy.  I have the matching sister bow that I built for my wife.  I had cut the lamanations and the overlays from the same board so the bows matched perfectly.  

Bow description:  Black locust veeneers, bamboo core, cocabolo handle and overlays.  The bow is a one piece brush bow the original model that Mark does not make anymore.  64" bow.  

If anyone knows where this bow is let me know.  I won the Texas State Longbow Association Championship in 1999 with this bow.

Would like to get my Jerry Hill longbow back. It was an Apache 55#@28". Hated to sell it, wish now I had it back. It went to a guy up in Alaska.

Live and learn.

I haven't sold one that I've regretted yet.


Been quite a few that I've regretted not buying, though!  :banghead:

I guess I'm an old softie, once I get my hands on one that I like, it has a home.
I have sold some, but to date, haven't regretted the sale.
My wife wouldn't mind if I liquidated a few.

The only bow I wish I had back is a Dale Dye. I put the Timber Rattler skins on it. Although it was not the prettiest Dye I have seen , It shot the best for me.

Ouch. I think I would want that Dale Dye bow back and I didn't even own it. Very nice.

Sold a bow one year at Cloverdale.  Then got to thinking that I wished I hadn't and lo and behold the next year here's this guy I sold it to walking around with my bow with a for sale sign.  Bought it on the spot.  Later got to asking myself why did I buy this back? Sold it again and this time with no regrets    :)
