Ever miss a bow that you had?

[chris K.]

I have been wondering were a bow that had was and if the person who has it is still shooting it or if it was just sitting in the closet. It is a Toelke Whip with bocote riser and zebra wood limbs. It has my name on it and #56@27 3/4.
How many other have just really felt like crap after getting rid of one of there bows and what bow was it?
Thanks,
Chris Kiefner

I wish I still had my old Black Widow MAB(black finish MA series recurve) take down. I killed my first and second whitetail deer(a doe and then a buck) with it in 1997.  

    :(

I never was able to kill a deer with the bow I really miss but it was my first custom bow. I can imagine if I would of killed my first deer with it.

My "regrettable" sell was a DAS Master Hunter. This thread is perfect timing, since I just placed a want ad to try to buy another one..

Man I do, My first trad bow was Bear Montana and I sold it and wish I still had it

[chris K.]

I tried to put a wanted to find ad but for some reason I couldn't get one started in the classifieds. It had me thinking about starting a thread and seeing if anyone else had any regrets after getting rid a bow that they knew were going to want it back not to long after they got rid of it.

I bought my first hunting weight recurve, a 1967 ½ Bear SK for $25. I shot it for a year or so and bought a new CKTD. I then didn’t feel the need for a crappy old bow and sold it for $35, smiling as I took my $10 profit to the bank. Four years later I didn’t feel quite as good about the deal and managed to buy it back for $50. I shoot it weekly and I’m not going to let it go again.

I made a really nice sturgeon skin backed self bow w recurved tips 50@27 that shot great, low shock just a pretty bow. Some guy offered me cash at a shoot and like an idiot I took the money! really dumb move.

money usually does the talking sometimes.

I really miss my 21st century,a friend of mine has it.I will get it back some day.

Partners 62" 61@28. Let a "buddy" take it on a hog hunt. I guess he like it more than I did.

Only about 40 or so!   I had to sell a bunch when I couldn't pull the weight.  I guess the ones I really wish I had back are the pair of Hill takedowns I had Craig make.  Ah, well, I recently made my own pair... but I still wish I had the Hills.

I wouldn't mind letting someone borrowing a bow of mine, but I don't know if I would let them keep it without saying something to them. I am nice but not that nice.

I found my bow that I miss! I do not know if I can afford to get it back though, I hope that I can.
