I love my Bushbow. Great hunting bow. Packs easily. Smooth and hits hard.

I have owned and shot many custom bows and the GN beats them all.  Wished I had back some that I sold... GN SG is hard to beat.

I've owned a Critter Gitter and a Super Ghost.  Both were fine bows.

I owned a 62" super ghost. It was 58#s but felt more like about 52. Smoooooth drawing bow.

Rob, I have a Lil Creep and I really like it. Mine is 60" long and 31" draw. No finger pinch at all, shoots a wood arrow perfectly.
I'm hunting on the ground more often latey and it's perfect for a sitting shot from the Waldrop seat.

In my mind the Bushbow or any GN bow for that matter looks awesome and as far as the bushbow goes they shoot so darn nice. I really like the straight grip on mine.

I wish I would of got the jacknife option though.

The green 44# ghost with a locator grip was my favorite bow that I shot  at the Expo last weekend.  Simply wonderful.  I have a fireball with a straight grip (special order) and have shot bushbows.  All are great bows.  The bushbow and ghost are really at the top of my list of best all time bows.

I have an older Critter Gitter and I can easily say it is the best crafted bow I own, don't let the simple lines fool you, these are great bows and I wish I owned more. I think many overlook them because they don't stand out in pictures or look like a million bucks but they are as solid a bow as you can get. I have Shultz longbow I'm looking to trade for a GN bow, that's how much I love GN.

I have owned a Critter Gitter and a Super Ghost. Great Northerns are very fine, well-crafted bows.

Kyle
I've owned and shot most of Great Northerns models and my favorites are the bushbow as a longbow and the ghost as a recurve.

My bushbow and I just seem to mesh,puts a smile on my face every time I shoot it.


My ghost [actually I have 2 ,same length, same weight]  really spits an arrow out.
Surprisingly the efficiency of the ghost is quite amazing,  matching or exceeding some of the other 'high performance bows' out there!
 And quiet to boot. A real sleeper.

I'd recommend either one,  or do like me and get both!
Best of luck in your search.

I own two Bushbows, a Ghost, a Traditional and a Lil' Creep.  I have owned over 100 bows and there are none finer than Great Northern. Highly evolved designs that are deceptively simple and understated. High quality construction and design.  None better at any price, period.
