One bow?
Heresy.

All bows are not alike. All men are not alike. The animals, trees, ferns and fungi differ from each other, even within their distinct species, like fine-fretted snowflakes. Is a cloud ever exactly like another? The diversity of Creation is as infinite as the imagination of its Creator. Who am I to run counter to His ways? Celebrating variation and diversity is celebrating the awesome scope of the vision of the Lord.

At least, that's how I justify it.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Killy's explanation sounds like a winner to me!
Besides, I have three of "The One" bows. Morrison Shawnee longbow.

I bet thats a shooter!!!!     :D

Actually not a bad idea, would love to see all those guys each have a little piece of their own style in a bow, just imagine what it would be like.....  :eek:

I posted earlier on this thread and must admit that I just acquired a few more bows.

One bow????  Hate to have my bows be lonely . . .

Although I've shot mostly longbows the last 25+ years (Fox, Black Widow, David Dowell, and a couple others) and recurves (Bear, Black Widow, Fox) for the first 25+ years, I recently had Brandon Stahl build me a 64" Super Wildcat recurve.  It has been an absolute blast to shoot.  Everyone that sees it says it's the most beautiful bow they have ever seen - and it shoots as good as it looks.  Right now I would have to say the Rose Oak Super Wildcat - but I can promise you it's never going to be lonely.
