I could be happy with the Pronghorn t/d I'm currently shooting.  That said, variety is the spice of life!   :D

It would be a heave R&D long bow 58" the way they shoot is amazing like the Dwyer Endeavor or Shrew.

Easy choice for me...my Predator recurve.

Been playing with a couple longbows for about a year now, and really enjoy them too, but you did say ONE bow only.

There is a very short list of things I own, that I can count on like my Predator recurve.

Hi All,

In 1972 I bought a Bear Kodiak Magnum, 50#  @ 28", and shot that almost exclusively until just a few years ago when it got damage in a moving van.  If not for the damage, I'd still be shooting it.    :D

58" Centaur triple carbon, in fact I'm working my way back down to being a one bow man, got two more to sell and that will be the only bow I own.

From a practical standpoint, a Toelke Lynx with a set of recurve and long bow limbs, actually 2 bows(I like to cheat). If forced to one, I would probably choose to keep one of my Toelke Super D Hill style long bows.

This thread is another reminder that if I want to be the best shot I can be then I really should go down to just one and quit shooting a bunch of different bows.

I'll get back to you on this.

If I could only have one longbow it would be a toss up between a 56" Beeler Tracker and a 62" Beeler Trailblazer longbow. If I could only have one recurve it would be a Marriah Thermal T/D. All the bows that have been mentioned are great bows made by very talented bowyers.

I've pretty much got all of the bows I'll ever need.  Recurves, I've got a pair of Kwyk Styks, and a Widow PSA... Longbows, I've got my Shawnees and MOABs...

If I had to choose one I'd grab one of my Shawnees.  They are both A riser with 1/2 pinecones and E carbon foam limbs with copperheads on the back.  One is 60# and the other is 64#, and shoot identically for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love every bow I own and probably wouldn't part with any of them...  Unless I could find a low 70# Kwyk Styk then I'd probably get rid of my 70# Widow.  But, the Widow is in the bow rack for sentimental reasons.  I had a SA III that I shot for several years when I made the switch from wheels...

With out a doubt it would be my 56#@28" Blacktail Elite with a quiver full of Surewood shafts 80#-85# tipped with some 150gr heads--Red Feather Archery's Phoenix heads! This set up will be going to hunt elk in Utah this year!
