Green Mountain Longbow, 62" 55# @ 30 reverse handle, Native Vermont Cherry limbs and a Zebra wood riser. It was my first made for me custom bow and now would be impossible to replace. I got it in 1996........

My 66" 64#@26&1/4" Schulz Legend, the fastest Hill style longbow I have ever seen.  Unless someone has about a thousand bucks they want to part with, but that won't ever happen, so I am keeping it.

Probably my MOAB. My wife thinks its hers and she killed her 2 bucks with it this month. I'd be sleeping on the couch with my Centaur Carbon Elite  if I sold that one.    :D

I guess I've got two. My Rocky Mountain recurve, I've had that bow about 30 years and a RER recurve. Only had the RER for 5-6 years but one sweet shooting bow.

Saluki Ibex for me.
I shoot it like sh!t but my father gave it to me.

And despite my inaccuracy with it, it is a hoot to shoot.

My 1966 little Bear. 48" and 15#.

All my kids learned how to shoot from it and it
hangs in my living room still.
Each time I look up at it, I think of them.

I have had hundreds of really great bows. There are a few I really wish I had now but not many. Two stand out in my mind, A 52 lb. Monterray that was perfection if ever a bow was perfect and a Sentman that just fit me to a T.
I'm Kind of like Kevin Dill though. No single bow that I am really attached to although once in a while I have an Eagle Wing that really is hard to ship; I just tell myself that I will build another one and I'm ok. Problem is I never seem to get the other one built without selling it/. Its like this great big merry go round. So many great bows and so little time. One bow I will always have though is my Sasquatch that Kirk sent me for Christmas. Its a sign of our friendship and I will never sell that one because of that.

God bless you all, Steve

I would have to say my new BW PL X that I just got this year. I shoot it as good or better than any stick bow I have ever owned. Plus I killed my first really nice traditional buck with it this year.

I have a 58" 45# Darton Super Flite Ranger with yellow glass.

That bow got me started in Trad but I wasen't ready to commit so I gave it to a friend. Years later he gave it back and I killed my first 2 trad deer with it.

It will be handed down to my sons.

My Elburg Cherokee Magnum. Why? Because I wouldn't be able to replace it.

Brackenbury Legend. Macassar ebony and zebrawood.
64" bow, it is the easiest, smoothest and most accurate bow I have ever shot.
I will likely never sell it.

My Dad's '66 Bear Grizzly.  Just because it was his.
 
And my Rose Oak King Panther, because my wife sneakily watched over my shoulder as I admired Brandon's bows.  She called him on her own got the bow ordered and surprised me with it for our 15th wedding anniversary.
