I’m sticking with my user name when I bought the first “new” bow for myself in over twenty-one years. A Rose Oak Super Wildcat, no wood. It is phenolic, glass, grass and 48 lbs. at my draw length.

New to me but like new Whisperstik Mojo 60" in a real nice Osage color....Plan on a couple more..

[Tajue17]

Blackstik that thing looks sweet in that flat black I have to go check those out!!!  

I opted for a LNA T/D Longbow I Named "Us Vs Them"  in Edge grain red elm on the limbs and a reddish cocobolo riser due to be finished next month I think... (after having the Hope Bow for a month I had to buy one)
picked up a used bushbow and selfbow on trades..

What a fine looking bunch of bows - especially the Blacktails!
My wife bought me a Border Black Douglas Ultra in cocobola and shedua for our 10th Anniversary - she is a keeper    (the bow too).

If I have any money left after St. Jude (unlikely) I plan to talk to Big Jim at Tanehill this weekend.

Blackstick,
I love your Super Wildcat! I had Brandon make me one in Cocobolo and Bacote. I like mine but I think I like yours better. I'll bet it is SOLID in the hand!  

I checked twice to make sure yours wasn't a lefty....alas (for a trade-crazy guy like me) your string is meant to be drawn to the right eye.

I got a Leon Stewart Slammer Special...Yew, Osage and bamboo... had it 3 months and still excited.

[JJB]

This is great!  Keep them coming, lot's of talent out there.

Shot LH compound last 15 years due to shoulder problem. Bought a RH 35# Martin Dreamcatcher 1st of year. Nice bow. Smooth. Sweet shooter. My best experience with Martin to date. Owned a Hunter recurve and ML-17 Longbow  years ago and both were nice bows.

My shoulder held up. I prefer a straight limbed bow, and to hunt deer I decided to bump up weight and performance. After some shopping around and trying out various bows I now own a 40# 64" Fedora "Extreme".  

 

 

 

 

The limbs are osage back and belly with a yew and bamboo core. The osage in the limbs and handle continue to darken. I bought it for how she shoots and handles. It doesn't hurt that her looks improve with age. It's a shame she can't cook.  Color me happy.

[GRINCH]

Gotta love those Fedoras,very nice.

I found a source of fantastic Bear Take-Downs, all lefties. I bought 3 of them in late winter. The Super Wildcat was a December bow so not this year. I wanted to share with Blackstick.

The Mags were interesting for me. You see I recalled the B Mag I owned back around 1970. I remembered that bow very fondly and wanted one again. Now that I have both the B and A Mag I realize while they are terrific bows, I don't prefer them over some of the customs available today. I was also surprised that Green Stripes (B Riser only)have too long of risers for my tastes. I much prefer A Risers with 60" limbs.

I've also "met" some very fine Trad Gangers and Bowyers while doing all this bow trading and a bit of buying.

Bear B Mag w/ Factory Camo
Note the factory-installed sight pin. "Of course" I ignored that pin--for a couple of weeks. Then one day I decided to see what using a sight would be like (I shot compounds from 1975-2009 with sights from 1981-2009).  Uh, oh. I couldn't believe how much easier it was to shoot tight groups with that little ole pin, no peep, and just a glove. Easy isn't what I'm after but accuracy is a very high priority. I have to admit, it scared me a little. I put that bow up immediately for fear it would destroy my motivation to master sightless shooting. Reckon I have a little "Trad-Cop" in me?

[BuckyT]

I bought this one back in March.

A Beowulf recurve made by White Wolf Custom Bows.

62"AMO

56lbs@28"

My first traditional bow.  It's been very fun learning how to shoot it.  Hope to stick a whitetail with it this fall.

Well,...my son left his Two Tracks Ambush at my house this past week and I've been playing with it.  Long story short, I now have one on order identical to his except a few pounds lighter.

Hi. A recurve, one-piece. It's made by a european bowyer from Serbia, Mojovic bows. The bow is called Sirin, riser section is made of african bubinga with mapplewood inlays. Limbs are laminated in mapplewood, cross carbon and transparent fiberglas.  It is very accurate and smooth to pull, and pretty fast...I love it. Here's a video I did on this bow

   youtube video of me shooting the bow

Bought a Bama Royal in July of this year but won't get it until late October. And, last week got Black Swan Hybrid from TradGang classifieds.
