4.Howard Hill Cheetah-45# @28" (64")-D bow, hunting, target shooting.
5.Black Widow PSR-50# @ 28" (58")-General target and hunting recurve.

Lets see here, 1,2,3....oops, too many.   "[dntthnk]"  
   I took out the picture of the Howards, not too nice for those who still have not had a chance to start a collection of their favorite bowyer(s).
Hmmm,  :confused:  What bows, so many great bowyers out there.
I still would like a Windauer longbow.

My old Groves Mag I, I sold it to an archer in NY, still miss that bow. Still kick myself selling that one!

I only have one dream bow... A camo Black Widow PLX TD.  I haven't bought it because I'm just not done messing around with everything else yet.

Okay...

One that belonged to Ishi...

One that belonged to an English archer that fought at Agincourt...

One that belonged to Ishmael...

One that belonged to a San bushman who actually used it to survive (not the tourist trap bows)...

One that belonged to one of my ancient ancestors that was used to hunt with in the forests of Europe...

And perhaps one that Art Young used to kill a lion...

Not too much to ask, eh?

I am so greedy...

I want more...

I'd like one of Ghengis Khan's personal bows...

I'd like the bow that killed Ahab...

I'd like the first bow EVER made...

Sometimes I have different dream every night during the week. Makes it tough to decide.

Sadly, but thank goodness I have not had the opportunity to shoot a great deal of the wonderful bows out there.

I can only think of three.

1. Habu Vyperkahn w/triple carbon -- fortunately own
2. Dream TC -which is in the oven
3. Mohawk - Hope I won't get the opportunity to shoot one at Cloverdale.
