Mine would be a Norm Johnson Blacktail VL with footed riser. It was 63#s at 28"s and I shot that like no other. I sold it because I have had several shoulder surgeries and alyjough I could shoot it, my shoulders told me not too. I now could handle the weight again and would love to have it back. Shawn

Don't listen to him Tom. I still have OUR bow.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Well I just got into trad archery and only have 2 bows.  One is a 1966 Kodiak that my dad gave me, then I have a 50th anniversary Kmag.  I dont plan on getting rid of them ever but as my collection gets bigger I am sure I will get rid of one or two down the road but those 2 will forever stay on my bow rack.

The first trad bow I ever bought, it was a longbow I got from my neighbor I dont even know who made it. It was about 60# at 28" way too heavy for me at the time but man that thing could shoot, I sold it for the price I paid and now I wish I still had it, it was built like a brick $&!# house, and I began my trad hunting adventure with it when I was a frosh in high school. Those were the days.

Interesting thread.  I have on a couple of occasions sold a bow that I regretted selling and had a chance to get back--then I remembered why I sold them in the first place--usually wind up selling them again.  My view is that the eleventh commandment says something to the effect that "bow money must stay in bows" so when one is sold the money is tucked away for another.    :readit:    We mustn't violate the 11th commandment.    :nono:
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.
