Honestly Steve I love your list we have similar tastes, I have the Dwyer, I have a centaur on order, I want a Saluki really bad, and I have always loved shrew and toelke bows.

I really wish I ordered the Saluki Scythian I optioned it out and it would have been over 1000 dollars which I really didn't want to spend.  Maybe next year I'll order one =).

Would be one of Howard Hill's personal bows, one that he took something exotic with, or one of Fred Bears Super Kodiaks that he hunted with. etc. etc. etc. You see the pattern. I would rather have a bow with history, not an expensive custom. I would just enjoy re-telling the stories the "bow" had to offer! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

1) Any Black Widow Takedown Recurve
2) Any Black Widow Longbow
3) Black Widow PA One Piece Recurve
4) Black Widow PSR Short Recurve
5) Black Widow PTF One Piece Recurve
6) Have I mentioned A Black Widow

Ha Ha Ha

I really really want a black widow. I shot with a guy a few years ago when I had my Dream Catcher that had a Black Widow Takedown recurve and it had to be the smoothest, best feeling bow I have ever shot.

I only want two bows:

1) two-piece take down Big Jim Buffalo or two-piece take down Bama Royal Expedition in a nice hunting weight for myself  --  Either with highly exotic woods, beavertail grip, and horn overlays

2) matching two-piece take down take down, also loaded up, for my wife to go to 3d shoots with me and shoot with me in the back yard

I can only shoot one at a time anyway.
