bows you never see for sale
« on: February 03, 2012, 10:44:00 AM »
I have a black Mountain/Dryad shaman and cruz the classifieds daily and have never seen one for sale. Is it because other owners love their Shamans as much as me? Or just not a popuar bow? what do you have that you never see for sale?

Very rare to see a Sivertip with a low draw weight, 40-49#'s. I finally found won 52# @ 29 and tried to trade for a set of limbs....no luck. So I just ordered a new set of limbs from Dave and Beth. I think most guys hunt them and shoot heavier poundage. You don't see many Blacktails either. Some bows there is just not a lot of them out there!

I don't own one, but have been looking. The ones I've found so far were lefties. I'm the other hand.

Norm Johnson Snakebit. I see some Blacktails for sale, but never see those Snakebits.

Also - I occasionally see a few EB Holcomb's but I NEVER see a Vintage Works for sale. Maybe they are just too new.

I'm always looking for a light weight shrew 40-42 lbs at 28" . I have yet to see one in that range for sale. Finally got tired of looking and got on the list. It's about a twelve month wait now.

With my luck , now one will pop up for sale.

Original Silvertips. I've seen one 1 piece for sale awhile back. I've never seen a 3 piece recurve for sale, but I'm still fairly new to trad archery.

Yep, those listed rarely pop up, very rare indeed.  I think it may be related to how many are out there especially in the lower poundages.  I'm glad some of them don't pop up, only thing that keeps me out of trouble.   :thumbsup:

Hoyt Pro Hunter Special.  I have one and it is a sweet shooting bow.   62" and 44# at 28" draw.  I don't think I have seen another one for sale.

You also have to consider how many were/are being made in the equation as well. The more made, the more will come up for sale.

John Maus out of Glennie, Mich makes a great bow. You seldom see his "Autumn Storm" long bow or his recurves up for sale.

Habu Hycurves or Recurves rarely show up. Takes a long time to get one, I imagine few folks want to start over.
