I can't believe you guys remember all the bows you had.I don't have a clue but I know its wayyyyy over 100.It bring me complete pain remembering some of the ones I let go.For instance a guy phones me up and says a friend has a new bow he wants to sell,110.00 I meet him and find a brand new Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet.I was shaking getting the money out.Memories ! LOL

I still have most of them. I was recently asked how many bows I own. A lady friend of mine was standing next to me when I answered 25 or 30 and she burst out laughing... guess I was a little low. Maybe more like your list Danny.

Tough question, but these three are really close and somewhat in the order I would place them:

60"58# Kwyk Styk.. I simply shoot this one the best. [trying to come up with a 56-58" with static tips to try out]

Morrison Mini ILF with "D" length Carbon/maple cored 58# L/B limbs.  I love the "feel",looks,  weight & the performance is excellent to boot!!

My 60"56# Schafer. I traded Hogdancer an Origional and two sets of limbs for...Simply a beautiful, great feeling and performing bow with excellent speed and shooting charastics..there's really no way I can not to have a Schafer at the top of my list.

BTW it has taken me years and thousands of $$ both in cash and trading bows to come up with these three.  ;)

Thanks for the reply. I also have a Schafer on my wish list. I have a Tall Tines coming and looking forward to shooting the bow. My firearms list is down to the bare bones, because , i keep selling them off to buy bows...This bow addiction needs a cure....
