Anyone attached to their bows?

[Sean B]

Is any one out there attached to their bows?  My Widow was my first and only custom bow.  I've been hunting with it since '96.  I'm still not over bow'd with it, but I feel that in a few years I may be, so I went out and ordered a new one. This weekend is our last "hurrah" together.  It's going to a good home. I'm selling it to my hunting buddy who is converting from his compound. Oh the memories...........   :(

I've got 2 that will never go anywhere long as I'm alive !
Black Feather Longbow
Timberhawk t/d Recurve


I had one TimberHawk osage one piece recurve.  I priced it and regreted it since.  Its one that I still miss...

[ronp]

Yup, I'm attached to one of my recurves.  I have and will continue to buy and sell a few higher end bows, but I will not part with my Quinn Stallion.  I'm starting to feel the same way about my Black Widow.

I use to say that I had one wife and a hundred bows. Meaning of course that I was true to the wife but not to any particular bow. I have shot several Hummingbirds that shot well, along with a number of other bows. I had a Beeler bow that was very compatable and the only bow that really paid for itself in winnings. Now I'm waitting for another one very much like it. If it shoots like the first one then I may have to change my phylosophy.

yup a new to me bow that i got off a good buddy on here  for two knives its a fox royal crown and hell does it shoot an arrow or what.      

[LimbLover]

I'm stuck with my Bamas.

I absolutely love the way they shoot. I am particularly attached to my first one because that landed me my first deer. Rabbits too.

There is something about that bow.

[KentuckyWolf]

I wouldn't part with my widow...then again it might be hazardous if I even thought about it. That bow was my brides gift to me on our wedding day.

[Jmgcurve]

Nah, I usually just hold them by the grip.    

Got a Rocky Miller T/D recurve and Robertson Vision Falcon that someone will inherit.

[Orion]

Nope.  Been shooting sticks for more than 50 years  Have had some I liked more than others, but killed a fair number of critters with a bunch of different bows.

[jsweka]

Yep.  I just had a buddy over tonight that wants me to build him a bow.  He wasn't sure if he wanted me to build him a longbow or a recurve, so he was shooting a couple of both.  He really liked a longbow I made with curly maple limbs and curly maple/paduak riser and was begging me to just sell him that one.  I just couldn't part with it, but am more than willing to build him whatever he wants.

[James Wrenn]

Got several I like but nothing I can't live without.There are always more bows I can buy or build to replace any I have right now.I have my first Adcock around here somewhere and it has stuck around longer than about any others but it has probably been 5 years since I shot it.I just don't get too attached to bows like I do a good hunting rifle.My old Browning "AT&T" could not be bought for any price.  :D

[**DONOTDELETE**]

When I die I'm having the bow I built, burned with me.. Any other bow will be sold off.

[Kevin L.]

I buy, sell and trade as much as I can, but I have one that won't ever go anywhere. It was my first trad bow and has put plenty of meat in the freezer.

[mjdglobal]

Oh yeah, I'm attached for sure.  My two '53 Bear recurves are gifts from Grandpa.  My custom Horne longbow and my Mathews wheelbow will never leave without a fight either.

[xtrema312]

Only about one hour a day.

[joevan125]

Black Widow PSA X and a Morrison ILF recurve, i will probably never part with these 2 bows.

[cacciatore]

Damn,I am in love with everyone of my 90 bows,I wish I had as many women.

[widow sax]

My widow sax will always be in my house. I have sold and will sell other bows but not this one or the new one I will ordor this year. I want a pch just cant make up my mind on wood and grip style. Widow

No you don't.  You can get along with 90 bows.  No way on the women, unless you are really easy to dominate and change.  Even then you can't change fast enough to keep them all happy.  I got lucky and found one I can get along with all the time, and it took a good while to do that.

[Sean B]

Gee guys, I'm almost feeling guilty now for selling it! If this new one shoots as good as the old one, I guess that'll be it for me.  I did start a small collection of vintage Bear bows, but I think I may part with them at some point.
