Yep. Hadvone made by a small bowyer on here, Trux turning.vnot sure how many bows he really likes to make for sale each year but he was gracious enoughvto fullfil one of my dreams. After seeing a herters 46, i had to have one but didnt trust buying such a radical bow that was 50 years old. Fortunately, his Snub Nose fit the bill and he nailed it. Came out at 50@27 and absolutely beautiful. It will spend plenty of time in the tree with me this year. It can be seen on the bow swap thread on pages 183 and 184

I ordered a Palmer Classic after shooting one at the Zalamazoo Expo.  The Palmers are great to deal with and Mike built me a beautiful bow that is smooth and fast.  Mine is 54lb at my 30" draw, 64" long.  Love it!!!!

I bought a set of ILF Dryad ACS RC limbs on classifieds, liked them so much when Mike came to CTAS shoot here in Colorado, I took my wife up there to have her test shoot a few, she came home with a 62" ACS RC boltdown model, it's 42# at 28", she pulls about 29" when she's hitting her stride, she's getting 170fps with a 517gr arrow. That was a gain of 10fps with probably 4lbs less draw weight at her draw length. She is very happy with it, she kept saying that she didn't want another bow, she has a Beautiful Rampart bow that shot really well and she was bound and determined to shoot an elk with it before she would even think about getting a different bow, then she shot the Dryad and changed her mind. She's not getting rid of the Rampart, it's a good backup for her, but she hasn't shot it since!

I recently received a new Rose Oak, Pierce Point, Special Edition 1pc recurve by Brandon Stahl.
The bow is everything I expected and more.
If I were to order another 1 pc recurve, it would be from Brandon. He built exactly what I wanted and delivered it on time....63" long, 50#'s  @28".
Finest craftsmanship I've ever seen.

Just picked up a new Chad Holm made r/d longbow because it was a better weight for me than the Holm Made bow I traded off to buy this one.

Now if you had asked about "new to me" bows, you would probably have to say "in the last month"

I got a new Kanati that is just awesome!! 58" amo, 61#@28". I wanted it because of the grip and the limb profile. Jason nailed it with weight that I asked for and I am extremely pleased with it. Yes I will buy another from him. You always need a backup, don't you??

I'll try the image later.....

Got my hoyt excel riser and 45# carbon bmax limbs. Ugly but dang it shoots! I can hit a tennis ball at 30+ yards with a reasonable number of attempts. For some reason, ILF metal risers work for me. A pretty good $350 investment brand spankin' new!

Howard Hill Big 5. 68", 42# @ 27". Getting a mind set to stick with my two Hills for the remainder of my hunting career. Been through a lot of different style of bows/bowyers and keep coming back to Hills.

I picked up a Wes Wallace Royal, this year. Its 66in. 50lbs@28in. locater grip. Very smooth drawing, hits pretty hard for the poundage. One of the nicest longbows I've ever shot. Its easy on the eyes too! Very happy with it.

Well I'll just count 'brand new' here.

That would be my Robertson Fatal Styk 62" 50@28 3pc recurve.  Bought due to a hearty endorsement by an archery buddy and due to reputation.  The bow is gorgeous and the best performing recurve I've tried.  

Second, my soon to be delivered new set of Leon Stewart Slammer t/d limbs.  They make a 68" bow on my riser and are 55@29.  My Slammer is my no.1 and one of the finest bows made.  I'd sell everything else before I parted with my Slammer.

Made a good trade with a buddy for a year old Wes Wallace Mentor 60" 47# for a rifle I wasn't using much. He's happy, I'm happy.

Also bought used a Black Bear warf riser and 35# TT Black Max limbs used. I'm not using this bow as much as I thought but my 13 yo grandson latched onto it so I have to keep it for a while.

I wont give up my cv17 either. just trying to pick out a back up, that doesn't lode up at 30" draw around 50#.

[northener]

Wes Wallace mentor  66"  47# at 30 1/2"  Cocobolo riser, Yew limbs with antler tips. I ask for a little palm swell into the grip area, Wes delivered, it fits my hand to a tee. Very Happy with my new bow and yes I would order another from Wes in a heart beat.

Toelke Whip - wanted something other than another recureve and heard great things about them.  Have to say they earned all the praise, this is one smooth fun bow to shoot may have spoiled me since I have not picked up any of my other bows.

[Red Beastmaster]

I bought a new Abbott longbow. 47# @ 27", 66". Cocobolo riser and yew limbs.

VERY happy with it!
