Picked up a Really nice 2 piece Buffalo Bow a few months ago as well as a Thunderhorn that was advertised as a Heartstopper but ended up being a Coup Stick...no big deal, pretty much the same bow without as much pretty stuff.  Both of them are excellent bows!  Really love shooting both of them. Buffalo Bow is 55#... Coup Stick is 58#.  Buff will be going to the woods with me this year....working on trying to get arrows dialed in for it now!!  

Both purchased from Trad Gang classifieds. Both guys excellent to deal with and both bows were as advertised or better!!!

I always liked the Bear TD and recently got a one in bubinga. Very happy with it, I hope to add a couple more sets of limbs to it.   People talk about finding 'THE' bow for them;  I believe this is mine.

Big Jim Recurve. The specs are 52#@28" and 60" length. The limbs are bocote and the riser is east indian rosewood and bocote. This bow is fast, quiet and very accurate. Without a doubt the best bow that I have owned and that has been a lot of them. Big Jim needs to get these on his website as they are new this year and I guess he hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Bought this beauty off of the classifieds here earlier this month.  Hopefully will get to break her in on September 15th in Georgia!

I got a new Wes Wallace partner takedown recurve a few months ago because I like grey bows and because Wes builds one of the best recurves around.

Got a toelke whip from a friend who had bought it new back in the summer, he had a shoulder injury so I felt sorry for him and took it off his hands.  The bow is smooth as silk and I absolutely love the grip on it! I've talked with Dan since I purchased it and he was very friendly and helpful!  Would definately buy another one!

Got a nice Damon Howatt Hunter from Huntmaster70 50@28 I've shot other Hunter bows, but never owned one. I've always thought they are a great bow for the money on the used market and I am not one bit disappointed. This has become my new "go to" bow   :thumbsup:

I saw a bow hanging on the wall at a local restaurant, but all I could tell was that it was a lefty which I am. I asked the owner if I could look at it and he got it down for me. It was a Damon Howatt Hi Speed 45# 58" in pretty nice shape. I bought it and i'll be taking it hunting this fall. I also put some snake skin limbsations on from onestringer.

Not this year, but last year I picked up a Kanati and a WhippenStick longbow.  These two bows make my fourth custom bow.  I would have to say that Jason Kendall and Ken Rohloff are two of the nicest gentlemen I have ever done business with.  Jason went above and beyond on my Kanati and it turned out better than I would have ever guessed.  It is by far the coolest bow in my stable and possibly the easiest for me to shoot well.

Ken's fit and finish rival every bow I have ever held in my hands.  He finished it much quicker than expected, and as a bonus it is the fastest longbow I have ever shot.

I would not hesitate to recommend either of these guys to anyone.
