Not new but new to me. HH Big 5 74# @ 31" great smooth quiet bow I wanted a higher poundage long bow to shoot with the dream of working up in poundage.

Only one new bow this year. A TT Titan II in January. It is 58" and 49.5# at the setting I'm using at my 26" draw length.

I love it and when the TT Titan III is available in September I'll get it too.

I've shown great restraint this year. In each of the past 3 years I've probably bought, kept, sold, or traded more than 10 bows.

I like a LH Groves on the big auction site and a Widow (Tulip wood) will sell there soon as well. I didn't bite.

I ordered a Stalker Stickbow. It is an incredible shooter and the craftsmanship is flawless. 44lbs@28"
pistol grip take down R/D longbow. I couldn't ask for anything more. I can't to get in a tree with it.

I bought a Caribow Tuktu EX from Abe. Great shooter and I have a set of Hex-6's coming soon for my Belcher riser. I like the static tip very much as of late. Restraint, when I first joined this site, 10 years ago I bought and traded like crazy in 7 years I owned over 110 different custom bows, I mean just about everyone out there and several of the same.

I got a black widow PLX a couple years ago and can't be happier.

I love the BW, but I really wanted something a little more traditional looking, and longer. I realized after looking on this forum, that I wanted a Hill. So I called Craig and Jason of Howard Hill Archery directly, and hashed out what they thought I would be most happy with. I went with a Cheetah, at 68" 58lbs at 28". I had them put a slight locator grip on it. I'm very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this bow. Its an exceptional shooter, and loves heritage 250's with 200gr points.

Throughout the process of having the bow built, I called several times to 'tweak' a few minor details like where I wanted the writing to be on the bow and string material ect. Every time I called I got exceptional friendly service. I would definitely order from them again.

Here are a few pics.

So many good choices out there. Also, +1 for the Wes Wallace Royal, my buddy just got one and it is a thing of beauty as well.

Last fall I switched to lefty. No more righty at all for this puppy. I chose an RER recurve bow, for lots of reasons, and I am completely happy with it, including performance, looks and customer service. In fact, I already ordered (and received) a set of longbow limbs. I am already shooting better and much more consistently lefty than I EVER did righty.

I have to take a photo so it will be posted later.

Yep I got a new Centaur about a month ago.

I just made a great buy on the classifieds for a Zipper SXT with long bow limbs.

Back in June made another good deal on a Hoot's long bow.

Also have a Kanati on order that I asked Jason to put on hold for awhile.

The more I hear you guys with the Kanati's talking I may have to get that back in the works!!!!

Got a 70's Bear Grizzly, 58", 50# @ 28" I shoot 26". Got it off another site. Great deal, love it! Always wanted a Bear, oldest brother had one in the early 70's and after he passed, in 74, another brother acquired it. Just put on a Thunderhorn Quiver. I would by another from this seller. See if I can add a pic.

I've bought/sold/and traded a lot of bows over the years... I truthfully don't remember how many, but in the last year...

Received my Big Jim Thunderchild, Black & White Ebony with Buff tips and overlays. 2-piece, 56", and 70# @ 29". Ordered it after buying and trading for 7 or 8 used ones...

Also received a Jim Reynolds Thunderstick MOAB, 60", 71# @ 29"... Zircote riser with Osage flare and Quilted Maple veneers... I've had several used ones over the years and this is the third one I've gotten new from Jim...

Also, received a riser for an extra set of Kwyk Styk limbs I had bought a couple of years ago... Cocobolo Dymondwood, 56", 70# @ 29"...

All 3 Bowyers are top notch, and I couldn't be happier with any of the bows. I still look in the classifieds quite often, but don't buy, sell, or trade as I've got plenty of bows that "fit" me already.

Not much for buying new bows but could not pass up the deal on the first ever Chek-Mate Hunter III...60 inch AMO and 51 pounds at 28 inches...yew limbs...bubinga, rosewood and maple riser...for 600 bucks I think it is the best buy in a takedown out there...I have bought 4 other bows as well in 2013...this is a great time to buy some amazing used bows

The Kanati with the brown handle, in Jason's "New Gordons Brown Glass" thread, should be heading to Georgia this week.
Plain simple hunting bow...just the way I like em.
