JD Berry longbows - 3D, target and therapy for my cervical hernia disc.  Maybe I will start hunting when I am better at shooting.

Saluki, Hoyt Dorado, Van Normand and Korean Horsebow - just to have fun with different styles.

Not so much fun:
No name beater bow, just can't get the hang of bowfishing

Fun:
Martins, Serengeti and TD

More fun:
Robertson Stykbow vision falcon
Bob Lee Bicentennial Elite

Most fun:
Morrison Dakota
Griffin TD

Just sold another Morrison Dakota that I thought was in the "more fun" due to draw weight and now realize it was probably a mistake and should have also been in the "most fun".
