So I would have one bow that I would have to completely trust to do anything I need a bow to do, with no backup???
As of today it would have to be:
Howard Hill - Big Five - 70" drawing 60# at 31"

I hope I feel the same way about a new Bigfoot bow in the coming weeks!

if I lost all of mine i would cry. dont have the money to replace the hunterbow.  

For the money i would end up ordering another economical archery omega hybrid or a mad dog.

if i had the cash then the hunter bow will be back on order

Bob Lee stickbow 66" 52#@28 Natural (bubinga & curly maple).

Orrrrrr...

I've been looking at basically the same thing in a Toelke Whip.

If it's only one, then maybe a TD. Nah.

The new longbow by Mike at Legends Bows. I got the first one and I take delivery soon (I will post pics soon). I test drove the new bow before he finished it and with my 530gr arrows it posted 3 arrows at 186 fps. the final wt will be 60lbs @ 31.5in. It wasnt the speed that impressed me though, it was the fact that I am used to a recurve and I shot this. It is very smooth and even though it is slightly heavier than my rc, it was like I was pulling a lighter wt bow. I cant wait to start shooting it every day.

Longbow would be my Wild horse creek Hawk 62" 44# @ 28, it is a wenge riser with bocote flair and tamo ash veneers. Just the one I like to shoot the most.
Recurve would be my Widow Pchx that is also 44# @ 28 and is 56" long. It is a leopardwood riser with olive ash limbs and an asbell grip.
Both of these bows are very satisfying for me to shoot. DI

I would be on the phone right away with Bill Dunn. My 60" Zipper SXT recurve is the best bow I have ever shot.   :thumbsup:

Big Foot by Kirk Lavender. I've shot his recurve but if I had to get another one, it would be his longbow just for the sake comparision.

When I stopped crying, I know a place in Little Rock that keeps an assortment of Roy Hall's in stock.  I would have to get another Navajo Chief 58" 55-60# @29". Probably Osage Orange and Cocobola?

No doubt about it, if all of my bows were stolen, I would order a new Great Northern Critter Gitter.

I'd have to replace my Brack Quest, but don't think I could stand a 2 year wait. So, I believe I'd get a Dryad ilf rig. Sweet!
