One bow - tell Us about it
« on: June 11, 2011, 06:49:00 AM »
You guys know what I'm talking about when I say it is a bow that fits you and is a part of you .So how many of you are a one bow guy when it comes to hutning. Have a bow that is a hunting /killing machine

One that you always hunt with   :bigsmyl:  

I used to buy a new bow every other year or so , I'm still tempted but don't do it because I know they will just sit on the rack    "[dntthnk]"  

What about you guys?????

Jack,
I aspire to do as you do.  I'm still in the experimentation phase though.  A new Schafer however is the bow I'm hoping will become my go to as well.

I think that any one of at least 10 bows I have could be that bow if I truly wanted it to be. I'm going to have to figure out a way to objectively evaluate these bows.

I've already spoken about my special bow. But since you asked, here it is again.    :)

I have two Blacktails I really love. They're almost neck and neck with regards to being my sole favoite. However, my 37# bow is my favorite. It can take any animal in Texas I want to hunt and I can shoot it for 4 straight hours before I notice my shots start going away.

With these two bows, my need for the "another bow" syndrome has come to an end.

Mines a 62" 63#@31" Morrison Cheyenne. I had Bob built me it early last year & it's just an exension of my left arm. I have many other bows, all spectaculary nice, but this one is now & will probably always be my first choice bow.
The grip is like shaking hands with an old friend, the weight is perfect -not too heavy, not too light- the mass is just heavy enough to stay on target without being so heavy that I get sick of carrying it. It's quick, it's quiet & it just hits where I'm looking.

I've had more than my fair share of bows (including a silvertip). The only ones that have really fit me as well as you describe are my Habu and Hoyt Gamemaster

Way to go JW & the rest of you guys relying on one bow! Wish my one true favorite always made it into the woods. No secret my Hills find good favor. To choose one is impossible. Pre & early season finds me with less draw weight. Mid to late I'll take the longer Tembo for pure fun & confidence.

Yeah I moved from bow to bow over the years but the Schafers are friendly to me .

My dad gave me his sweeet sixteen about 2 years ago and one of my buddies said you should restore it. Never would I do that , it tells soooo many stories.

I hope some day my Schafers do the same.
