Without a doubt, I would order a replacement Black Widow PLX, at 52# @ 31".  66", Toby grip, and take-down.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

2009  66" Black Widow PLX

Right now I only have one bow. If I lost it, I would bur either a 7 Lakes or a Liberty Longbow.

In a heartbeat - another Anneewakee Addiction (by Lee Hoots). Preferably 54" Recurve, 47-50# at 28", predominantly black (be nice if the grip stippling "accidently" incorporated a nice Black Bear in the pattern, and one of the new thumb rests - but I guess that'd put it into the custom category - LOL)

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

It would be off to the classifieds to find the best deal on a bow that fit my specs......might be a Widow or a Zipper ,a Silvertip,an Osprey by Chad Holm, maybe a Centaur or a Mohawk. I would look for the best deal at the time and buy it to fill the bow-less void.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Just one?  Come on Ken.

I would get a Griffin 60" 44@28.

Wait, Centaur, glass model same specs.

Wait, wait, Super Shrew same specs.

How many did you say I could have?   :dunno:
