Quite a lineup.  Wish I'd have had the chance to enjoy all those, too.   My own list would be headed by Val Sorrentino(RIP).  He didn't make bows to sell, though you had to give him some money to get one. We never met face-to-face, but we had many long conversations and saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things about this life.  He had a gift for simple elegance in a bow, and they shot so well!  I still have the bows he made for me, but I'd just like to talk with him again.  

Also, the bow shooting public lost something when Rick Lepp quit making the Bow River bows.  They were very under-appreciated, and that's a real shame.  Good straightforward designs that were easy to shoot well.    

There's a lot of glamor in some of the bows today....and, I'll admit, it often dazzles me as well.  But, I find it interesting that nearly all these bows we wish were still around didn't have much of it.  Are we just nostalgic for a simpler time.  Nah, more likely we'd like to have all that we have today.......AND all those oldies but goodies!!!

Good thread -thanks!

I'd have to say a Nel's Grumley bow or a 1959 Kodiak would be on my wish list. Also the black and white Bear Super Kodiak from the late sixties would be in the mix.

I completely agree. I have one of the 8 that he built.

mine.

Nothing like the thrill of getting your first custom bow!

[OP-archer]

Massie.

yeah that 59 Kodiak by Bear was nice...thankfully Vintage Works makes one that rivals the original.  Beautiful bows...pure essence of tradition and artistic creativity.

[Bear Heart]

Sovereign Ballistik.  I really wished I had got a set of heavier and lighter limbs.  John Fazio died shortly after I got my bow.

[Sockrsblur]

I wish I had one of my fathers, uncles, grandpas...an old one from before there were training wheels that I could carry this fall... but I don't.

Ernie Root the old shakespeare Recurves, cheap, realiable and consistant

[Night Wing]

The old 68" Ben Pearson "Palomino" recurve. I have a "thing" for long length recurves.

The only things I'd like to see improved on it, it being custom made where the poundage is measured at one's own personal draw length and dark limbs.

[Cochise]

altho I love my "Dave" made silvertip
a few thousand more Paul made tips would have been cool..
Cochise

[deaddoc4444]
