[highplains55]

[Bob Stager]

I had a Das Gen1 with Winex limbs that I wish I still had. I sold it after a couple of shoulder surgeries and wish I had kept it.

[stabow]

Black Widow PMA X Kingwood  sold it because it was a little light  and 64" long.....  :(   could of bought different limbs

[Hubi]

My EagleWing Talon Recurve......one of the best and I miss it!

[joe skipp]

Gamemaster Jet by Jack Howard and Rocky Miller Predator T/D.

I had a 60" Black Widow SBS...[short black stick] That was 44# @ 29", Never realized what I had till it was gone.

[heydeerman]

A 60@28 Dan Quilian Bamboo Longhunter with a cracked handle. Dean Torges fixed the crack and I sold it because I did not trust it. I heard from someone who had it a couple years ago and it's still going strong. Killed a bunch of animals with it.  

[Ric O'Shay]

Any of the three Jack Howard bows I "used to have". Plus there are a couple of Jeff Massie bows that I've wished would find their way back home.

[Arwin]

My first traditional bow. A 52 inch Bear Black Panther Hunter 50/55.
 Wasn't a high performer, but more for sentimental reasons. Killed my first trad deer with it and my first buck, both in the same season.
 Harvested my one and only deer that I have ever successfully taken while stalking.  Spent a lot of time with that bow!!

[RonD]

Jim Johnson "Legend" longbow.

[VictoryHunter]

My first stickbow. It was nothing special just my first and I made my first trad kill with it. Sold it to buy a custom mostly because it was too heavy though. It was a new Bear Grizzly recurve. I where it is too...

Why did you have to remind me?  

A good friend of mine who I met through work introduced me to traditional bow hunting.  He's very dedicated to the "trad" spirit.  He found out that I was considering buying a compound bow and quickly advised otherwise.  A date was set to go over to his house to try various recurves and longbows that he owned.  I'll never forget the impression that I got from handling such beautiful looking bows.  The woods, the aesthetics, the feel, everything about them was something that I hadn't experienced. I tried different bows and I ended up falling in love with a longbow.  This particular longbow was, and I wasn't familiar with "brand" names back then, a Toelke Whip.  The Whip felt perfect for me.  It felt so perfect that I ordered one the following day.  I spoke to Mr. Toelke, and we settled on a Cocobolo riser and Bocote limbs, which was setup at 64", 45# @28".  That Whip was spectacular.  It was perfect. It shot like a dream. I then got the itch to order a Lynx, which I did, but I sold The Whip to fund it.  To this day I regret selling my Whip.  Thanks for depressing me.  :D

Robertson Stykbow Purist 55@26 62" Bolivian Rosewood Riser, Red Elm limbs. Has my name on it ... I traded it to Bison Packs and they must have sold it to someone... If this is you let me know!

[Sam McMichael]

I had a 58# Bamboo Longhunter by Dan Quillian that really shot well for me. I traded it for a higher poundage Longhunter, which for a while was just fine. Now that I am older, I just can't pull the heavier bow, so I wish I had the other one back.

[Red Beastmaster]

My 50# Martin Dreamcatcher. It was my "President Bush" bow. The president sent each of us $300 that year and I bought the bow with the money. Really nice bow that I sold to by a Lone Wolf treestand.

All the other bows I got rid of were because they were too heavy in draw wt. Even if I had them back, I couldn't shoot them.

[Gator1]

Numerous Treadway Black Forest Longbows...

[Bob at Work]

a 2 piece Matlock that had cool black and white cobra skins on it...was his pic bow on his website...

[stik&string]

My limited edition Robin Hood by Howard Hill Archery. It lost out to a heavier Hill when I went to 1 bow only last season.

[Bladepeek]

I had a Lost Creek 60" 42# Life Ender that was all bocotte, shot like a dream, but was right handed. It was the 4th or 5th Lost Creek I owned and was everything I could ask a bow to be. I sold it to a young lady here on Trad Gang and I sure hope she appreciates it. Had it been a left-hander, no sane amount of money could have bought it. If I come into a sudden inheritance (and that isn't likely     ), I'll ask Chad Francis to try to duplicate it with the shelf on the other side.

[Izzy]

This one at one time. Bought it back 3 times. Shes home for good now.
