Whatever bow is in my hand when that buck offers me a shot...  :D

This year it will be my myrtle on myrtle Robertson longbow.  It shoots too nice and is just too pretty to leave home.

An original bow made by Howard Hill himself.other than that any bow that makes my kid smile when he shoots it.

My 60" Super Shrew Deluxe, #53 @ 30". It has the shooting qualities of my 68" longbows, plus it fits in any blind I can and it always shoots right on the money. Its THE bow for me!

I like and enjoy shooting every bow I own but when I see all of yours on here it makes me want more. My wife thinks I'm nuts because I keep buying bows(she just doesn't get it).

ive had and shot a few bows over the yrs but i dont think there is a "holy grail " there are many bows id like to have because of their beauty but i guess if there was a bow of bows it would feel perfect in my hand everytime, without thought. and shoot where i look effortlessly. dead in hand and to the ears.with extreem fortitude.

my goal is to start the adventure of becoming a boyer and that is my goal to create my perfect bow.   :campfire:
form is everything! shoot well shoot hard.

My Zipper, I love this bow!!!!!  51 @ 28, smooth, quiet, fast, and just plain good looking.

 
What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?

Pretty fond of a Pronghorn Ferret shoots well for me, but the bow also has the MOJO. I do not know how to explain it but take this bow hunting and good things start happening.

Kind of a plain looking bow as well, other than the Gator grip.

Until I find a bow that shoots better , it will be my EagleWing Talon or EagleWing D and R Longbow. So many bows, So little time. God Bless you all , Steve
