I have mine. My Black Canyon takedown and last summer picked up a 1983 Bear T/D Kodiak. Wanted the bear since I was a kid. Currently have a T/D Great Plains longbow and long curve limbs on order but there a few more. Want to find a HH, a Robertson longbow and a old Zebra that I had when I was younger. Always something.....

Great Plains 64" 1PC LB 57@28

I have one, my Jack Howard Gamemaster I purchased from Jack in 1967 and one I don't have, an original Harold Groves Spitfire Magnum about 60 lbs. takedown.

I wish I could have all the bows back I had to sell due to financial setbacks.  Sold a bear supermagnum that I drove in a a blizzard to pick up after seeing it in the newspaper for 40 bucks. Or the first bear grizzly I bought off a guy I worked with for 30, or maybe the Martin Hatfield t/d I found at a yard sale for 60 bucks, wow that was an awesome day. Maybe my dream bow will be the next one I find.

My Kota T/D 62" 51# @ 29.  Best bow I ever owned and I traded an old compound for it, which makes it even sweeter.

It would be a selfbow I built (the wood type is not important) that I can finish look at and find no fault. It would be tillered perfect and be whisper quiet. It would shoot consistently and put an arrow exactly where I look.... I'm on my 6th build and a long way from my dream....

This is the last one and I'm still not there but learning more and chasing my dream bow  :)

I dream of shooting a bow that's long and sexy looking that transports me to "Sherwood Forest" each and every time I put my hand to it and who's arrows never fail to hit it's intended mark.

It is a dream I try to fulfill regularly by shooting as many Hill and Hill style bows as I can and sorting through those I think of as "Keepers" until a newer one pushes the "Top Dog" out of it's number 1 spot.

If I ever find one that completely fills my dream, my quest will be over and I will have a lifelong companion.

I love my Black Creek Siren #55@28" #59 @ my draw, 64" long dark figured Cocobola, got my first Trad kill with it. Have a Black Creek Banshee that will be here first of next week, that is a beautiful bow. I also ordered me that Toleke Whip I have been slobbering over, it is going to be beautiful, should be ready in a few weeks. Would like to try a Shrew and one day have a Blacktail, I think they are beautiful.

I am eagerly awaiting the completion my first custom longbow, a 68" Fox Triple Crown Carbon.  Ron King has been great to work with, and I have yet to hear anything negative about the craftsmanship, design and performace of this bow.

i think i have all the bows i want, and 'need'...but i would like a new Howard Hill...
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

My "dream bow" COULD BE the 3-piece recurve that was mailed out to me this morning by RER Bows.

It's going to be gorgeous.  No doubt about that.
Kevin TerMaat, the bowyer, hit my 47# request right on the money.  And, with all the measurements he took from my current bow, I'm confident that he will replicate the handle I like so much.

There's just one thing left before it can be called a "dream bow":  I have to be able to shoot it as well as I shoot my current bow.  

I'm confident that Kevin has done his job.  The rest is on me.
