Give me any bow of comfortable weight. With time, I think i could learn to shoot it well.

I'm usually happy when I have a bow in hand!

That is a great truth, Charlie.
All of us here have access to a computer, most of us own our own machine. That means that we spent good money on it, and spend more on software and internet service, and cameras and batteries...

Most of us here can afford more than one bow. Most of us are curious about the shooting characteristics of all the different styles of bows out there. Most of us would choose the latest wonder that they have purchased, or that incredible bow that they learned inside and out when they were fifteen.

So, the motivation for the question is intriguing. One could quite as well ask, which is the most popular bow? But the most popular bow in the world could be as unfriendly to your hand as a railroad tie, and so, you are left again with your own search. Take up your lantern, Diogenes, and seek out your honest bow.

I shot my 1959 Alaskan today outside and was shooting exceptionally well.

So, today it's the '59 Alaskan...tomorrow????

Nicely said Killdeer.  The joy is in the journey.

So far both of my favorite bows, of the ones I have owned and gotten to know, have been Blacktail TD recurves.  It doesn't hurt they're also easy on the eyes.

One bow...man that's like having a cookie. Everybody knows you've got to have at least one for each hand.    :dunno:

One wife? Yes.  One bow? Not if I can help it.

However, if the house were on fire and I could only save one bow, the first bow that comes to mind is my 56" Treadway Black Forest.

The Horror.....the Horror...........


However, using Bowwild's fire in the house, one free hand scenario...my Big Jim Buffalo Bow. I would be crying my heart out though as I stood watching that stinking fire consume all my other beauties.    :scared:

You have now entered the Twilight Zone. You need to shoot an EagleWing, You need to shoot an EagleWing.
This is not marriage. God never ordained for there to be one man and on bow. No , No , No he allows us Many Bows, Many Choices. Much happiness./
I used to show horses professionally,. I raised and showed Appaloosas,. However I loved Quarterhorses. Paints, Thorobreds, Trakheners, and even Arabians. Everything has its own place and its own purpose and beauty. Every bowyer has his own inspiration. background , ability, and goals. Each has something to offer. Check them out.
God Bless you all, Steve

Any one of the ten I already have. A person only needs one bow and maybe a back-up and a back-up for that one.

1 Bow??...What..Are you nuts??

But I guess if it ever came to that..I'm tearin' up just thinkin about it... it would be my 60" Super Shrew Deluxe. She's got it all, shoots comfy like a 70" bow, fits in as small a blind as I wanna be in, quick, quiet.....

:help:    :dunno:  ......Nope, couldn't do it. The way I figure it, I could get at least two in the "one free hand" and several others "under my arm".
