Mine would be a longbow that i nick named " Ole no Name" its 70ish lbs, 70" with no markings what so ever.
I picked it up in a trade in which the owner was convinced that it absolutely the worst bow he ever owned. After receiving it, and properly tuning and setting it up,  it has turned out to be one of the finest shooting longbows i own.

My BW Ebony Bigfoot Sasquatch recurve will always be mine -- God willing.

I'm lucky to have two sets of limbs for this bow so maybe, if I can't pull one set I can drop to the other pair which are about 5 pounds lighter.

I have other bows I really like a lot that I can't imagine moving but I am not as sure I would never part with them.

All the bows I have I really like,but...those bowyers are still building bows and I'm sure I could get them to build me their "newest,best" and be perfectly happy.

If you ever change your mind, that bow is EXACTLY the one I have been searching for!  Very hard to find, but good to see they are out there.

Joe, they're hard to find for good reason. I have not found a newer style recurve that shoots any better. Sorry, but this one stays on my rack.   ;)

62 Kodiak my Granddad bought new. She's still in great shape and still goes hunting. I missed a buck with her last week but she gets to go hunting again Saturday.

I would HATE to sell my 66" Robertson Mystikal 67@28", but nothing is sacred if it means helping my family.

My Shrew Osage Scout. It was made by my good friend Gregg Coffey, it was signed by Fred Asbell, Ron LaClair, and Glenn St Charles, and I killed my first ShrewHaven deer with it.

 

And I still hunt it every year. This pic is from Idaho last month.
