I wish it was a beautiful longbow. But for the last 15 or so years it's been Big Ugly my old Assenhiemer. Big deer are just to hard to come by to trust to anything but him. With that bow it's as easy as pointin it at em and wishin em dead!

Myself, I only have one, a Bear's Paw longbow, but next week I am sending in the deposit on a new set of limbs. Going to go from a 58" longbow to a 62", and going to increase my draw weight by a few pounds. These will be the limbs that I will shoot.

My go to bow is over fifty, that's fifty years, so I have been searching for a replacement for over ten years; haven't found it yet. But, it sure is fun looking. One of these days I will make the perfect selfbow, and then spend the rest of my life trying to replicate it. Besides, I don’t want the twenty something bows in the bow room to get jealous, so I make sure to take two off the shelf to fill doe tags each year.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Guys who know me would laugh at this, but I am getting there. I used to swicth back forth a lot. The last year though I shoot my KS's and thats it. I consider them one bow as they are exactly the same, except for the #age.(48#s and 63#s)I admit I have an LB that I just got, but I will only use it for fun or bunny huntin'. When it comes to my serious stuff, tha my Kwyk Styks are it. Shawn

Hey Guys,
I have a Bear Kodiak Magnum, 50# @ 28" that I shot from 1972 until last year. I managed to gouge across the glass on the back of the bow about eight inches from the limb tip......now retired. As a replacement I bought a Tomahawk, 50# @ 28"....given a little care, this may well be the last bow I buy.

Until this August I did not think it was possible for me to become a one bow person. I sold all of my recurves and shoot Leon Stewart's three piece Slammer. It is the most accurate forgiving bow I have owned.

To many bows to list one by one; 23 hanging on the wall; I love archery and my bows and love helping others in getting started in archery; it seems when I give one away, 2 more takes its place; I hunt with Bear recurves; no, I am not a one bow kind of guy;

AkDan;
Had a TS III and liked it alot. The brace height Jim recommended was 7”+ to the throat of the grip. I set mine between 6½ and 7”. Then set the beaver ball silencers 1/4 of the way down from the string groove. It was very sensitive to brace height and silencer location, but once there was whisper quiet.

I shot two bows. Thunderstick MOAB and Big River recurve. It does take about a dozen arrows for transition between the two, both then both hit were I'm looking after the switch. The MOAB is my main bow, but for big hogs I like the Big River and heavy 730+ grain tapered Ash arrows.
