Pretty much every bow I have ever sold I wish I still had.  I don't think I'll be selling anymore.  I always regret it eventually.

A lost creek longbow I was hard up and sold years ago. Regretted it ever since. Thought about ordering a new one but too embarrassed to tell him I sold the first one lol.

I can't think about this, too painful lol. I prefer to think of what I have and be grateful for it.

My old K-mag...hands down.  Nothing shot as well for me, or gave me as much pride.  My father shot a 65 lb one when I was a boy, and my 50 lb one was actually my fathers childhood best friends..and he gave it to me.  I miss that bow like nobody's business :/

The English longbow that is in my avatar, it wasn't the best longbow I have ever owned but it had a lot of good memories.

Schafer Silvertip for sure.  Even though I now shoot longbows only, I wish I still had that one.

64" one piece (grand Slam) Asbell Era Bighorn 60#@28.  A Classic and bullet proof bow.  Originally fell in love with Trad Archery in the eighties largely do to G. Fred.  It had a beautiful dark Ramwood (impregnated maple) riser.

Nice bow.

That would be my PSAX 60"/48# I bought new. I sold it to a friend a year ago and never stopped thinking about it. It was My first trad kill bow. I finally had enough and paid double my sale price to order the exact same bow @46# five weeks ago.    :bigsmyl:

GN Superghost, 60", 45#@28". Picked it up here from Jim Schwall and traded it to try another bow. I have an ad in the classifieds here now trying to get it back.   :help:

Responded to this over on the other site, but will do so here too:  Several years ago my home was burglarized and I lost several thousand dollars worth of archery equipment including custom bows and several osage self bows my Dad built in the 1930's.

One bow I really miss is my Rocky Moutain Recurve with an extra set of limbs.  It has my name on it, and I loved that bow and shot it better than any other bow I ever had.  I took a P&Y Mulie out in Kansas with that bow and would love to have it back.

I don't sell bows often but for some reason I sold my first longbow ever: my Cocobola Bama Hunter. I bought it my first season and shot my first deer EVER 2 weeks later.

I sold it for nothing to fund a Bama Royal but I want it back.

The guy who bought it spends time in Hawaii and left it there. He said I'll never get it back. I offered more thn double what he bought it for.
