I have a 64" Elburg Jaguar Special, 54@29 and she killed my biggest buck so far 2 months ago. But if pressed I would like another Elburg or maybe a PTF.

I find the older you get, the lighter your dreams, a Griffin by John Mccullough that will be here Friday, when I ordered it I told him it will probably be my last bow, and he said
 "yeah right" he's probably right.

But I never thought I would have a custom made Griffin because of a long waitting list.

But I guess my dream bow will be here Friday. Koa, inlay Bloodwood and outline, bamboo core limbs with Koa, leather grip. Can't wait to see it !

Thanks John

It changes regularly.  Right now I like my ERC selfbow.  Want to make a long, narrow, Osage bow though.  I'd kinda like to make a a rawhide backed ERC Hill style, even though the ridgid handle isn't really a great design for ERC, but at 72" and backed it could work.

My Zipper SXT - can't imagine having to buy another bow.  Maybe a pair of matching LB limbs though...  :biglaugh:

Although I'm crazy about my Tall Tines.  If money were  no option I get with Bill from Zipper and get a SXT with grey dark rizer of somekind, either laminate or maybe quilted maple stained grey.  With antler inlays from my first trad buck or maybe a carved deer track or arrow head out of a bone of my first trad deer.  With Dark Colored Copperhead skins Carbon Foam Cores.  58" Long,55# @ 28".  I absolutly love TJ's

A 52" Bob Morrison Cheyenne.  He doesn't make the Super Short limbs anymore.  I wish i got them when i had the chance.  I have the 54 but would like it a little shorter.

I've got mine... Morrison Shawnee A-Riser, E-Carbon/Foam limbs, 62" (have 2, 60# and 64#, always need a backup...), also Kempf Kwyk Styks, 56" is my favorite with Static limbs (have one 62#, and another on the way 69#), have a 58"/61# Kwyk Styk also, but it may be finding a new home... also Thunderstick MOAB, 60" (have 2, of those also 62#/68#, ... the backup thing  ;)  ).

I have others, Morrison Cougar 62"/55#, Grizzlystik Qarbon Nano 62"/63#, and a Schafer longbow 62"/64# on the way, but those above are my favorites... Only thing I'd like to get at this point would be a heavier set of limbs for the Qarbon Nano, maybe 73#...

Truthfully, I'd like to sell everything but the Shawnees and the 56" Kwyk Styks and forget about bows and just hunt, but work and family keep me from hunting as much as I'd like to so I buy/sell/trade bows more then I get to hunt these days...
