If you could only own two bows....

ron w · June 23, 2013, 02:39:00 PM

Only 2 bows....are you kidding!!OK, most likely something by Chad Holm, and a take-down of some sort. Both would be 43-46# @ 29" and 62-64" long......Just 2 bows..??...LOL!

Dale Dye Good Medicine one piece recurve 60" and 58#@28".
Neil Jacobsen Bear's Paw Carbon Hunter T/D longbow 62" and 60#@28.

Not only are these two men just plain "good" individuals, they have forgotten more about their craft than most will ever know.

Still say Neil Jacobsen is one of the top three or four bowhunters living. And his 3D prowess speaks for itself as well.

These are top shelf products made by men who first built the shelf.

Easy recurves

my Dale Dye 60 55@28 and Blacktail 62 51@261/2( I draw 27)

Ha! You guys are great!

Rick Richard · June 23, 2013, 03:31:00 PM

Sorry, can't make it to just two, but the one I would keep would be my two piece Whip HS.

MnFn · June 23, 2013, 03:51:00 PM

A pronghorn and a Kota has to be in the mix.

Mike, I have only two bows. My first custom longbow was a Thunderstick Mag I bought years ago and still have. I just picked up a Whip HS and it is the closest I have found in accuracy, quietness, and smoothness compared to the Tstick. I love longbows, so staying with a longbow would be my thing, maybe a take-down model in the whip in case you needed it! But I do love the look of the superD as well, so that would be a tough choice. Fit/finish, I have owned a few and Toelke is at the top of the game!

I think I would stick with my Black Widow recurve and longbow. Sure am happy with the both of them!

German Dog · June 23, 2013, 04:29:00 PM

Be a good idea if you have any interest in out of state hunts to check for a minimum draw weight.

But a lighter weight bow and something a bit heavier that would cover any out of state requirments for larger game you plan to hunt would be a good choice.

But since you asked.....

Great Northern jacknifed bushbow for both of them, one in the 40# range and the other in the mid 50# range

ShooterF150 · June 23, 2013, 04:32:00 PM

I would keep my black widow ptf and my Foley . for me they are graet shooters .

Jim Picarelli · June 23, 2013, 04:45:00 PM

I'd keep my 17" Titan riser w/Dryad Epic recurve limbs & my Zebra longbow

pamike · June 23, 2013, 04:52:00 PM

Two? I can barely stick to only shooting two in a weekend!!!

Right now really liking:
Habu vyperkahn
Eagle wing talon
Bigfoot Sasquatch

But also playing with:
Silvertip
Centaur
Hill country bobcat

Two - right??????

Keith Zimmerman · June 23, 2013, 04:53:00 PM

Tough to only have 2...

Today would be my BW recurve and my Wild Horse Creek 2 pc longbow. Tomorrow would be my Morrison ILF and my Caribow. The day after would be my Allegheny Mtn Recurve and my Roy Hall 2 pc longbow...

Brock · June 23, 2013, 05:37:00 PM

from bows I have owned or still own...as they are the ones I know intimately...

Habu, 60@29 Bushmaster...64" (currently own)

Mohawk Sparrow Hawk, 50@28.....66" (currently own but if I did not have it would have the Robertson Stykbow Purist longbow in 66/68" length....53-55#@28 inch weight based on the mohawk)

ltppowell · June 23, 2013, 05:44:00 PM

If I could only own two traditional bows (which I do), they would be identical Robertson longbows. Everything else has hit the road, or the trash.

LoneWolf73 · June 23, 2013, 05:46:00 PM

Cari-bow Silver Fox and Voodoo Elk Riser Longbow. Both 3 piece take downs.

I have 5 other backups for "Moody" days.

TxAg · June 23, 2013, 10:45:00 PM

A Toelke Whip and a.....?

So far I have landed with a 62" HS and a 64". I plan on keeping both. I have a new Super D coming that I plan on becoming very familiar with.

ermont · June 23, 2013, 10:51:00 PM

If I could only own two bow............I'd have a lot more money!

damascusdave · June 23, 2013, 10:52:00 PM

No brainer for me...my right handed RER LXR with a set of static recurve and a set of longbow limbs at about 60 pounds at my draw...and my left handed Robertson Fatal Styk with the set of recurve limbs I bought it with and a set of longbow limbs that I have yet to purchase again at about 60 pounds...and I know that is technically 4 different bows, but since I am never only gonna have as few as 4 bows the point is moot anyway
