My current inventory of bows I actually use regularly, all weighted @29":
'69 Bear wooden "B" riser, #1 wt-tipped limbs-60"70#
'71 Bear wooden B, #1 grn.tipped limbs-60"67#
'68 Bear Super Kodiak-60"69#
'72 A magnesium riser,#2 red tipped limbs-58"61#
Saxon Kadiak 60" 74#
Several sets of td limbs #1 lengths 52-58#.
Have a few more laying around anf nine or so I have given to my son including a pretty nice '60 Kodiak. Got my eye on a couple of more modern designs but I know I probably wouldn't shoot them much.

Only two bows.  This Border Black Douglas, 62", 55#@28", XP-30 limbs.

 

And the Blacktail on top, but I've got two sets of limbs for it:  64", 58# @ 28" and 62", 55# @ 28".  Sold the other Blacktail.

bob lee hunter take-down with two sets of limbs
hoyt gamemaster with two sets of limbs
bear kodiak hunter
howatt ventura
howatt bushmaster
wing AMF falcon recurve
yamaha olympic take-down recurve
custom made takedown with two sets of limbs similar to browning pak-king

bows range from 37 to 56 lbs @28"
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

Two beautiful exceptionally good shooting bows is all I own.  One is a Big East by Fedora Jr (53# @ 28, highly figured Yew limbs), the other is a Hickory Sapwood selfbow by a local guy named Tim Heywood (60# @ 28").

Danny, I would have thought that you would have 10 times that many bows.  How many you figure you bought and sold in the last year or so?

Had quite a few over the years but now I'm down to three, well four..
Two DAS Master risers

The latest is an ILF Morrison

Several sets of WinEx limbs for the above

And an A&H 66" longbow..

All are in the mid 40's to low 50 pound range.

And all are to my liking !

RER Arroyo, Bob Lee Classic, Pearson Hunter and Morrison T/D. All are from 50-55#s. I have traded and bought and sold well over 150 bows in the last 10 years. My favorite is the Arroyo and I had a Blacktail that I shot better than any bow I have ever owned. Shawn
