I have about 25 bows, Bears, Martins, Ben Pearsons, Damon Howatts, Morrison, Marriah, Habu, Black Widow, Palmer and two self bows. I have my dads longbow that he bought in the late 40's. The Habu VyperKahn is my current favorite. Jim.

Honestly, sometimes I wish I had only one bow. I love my collection, but it flies in the face of my minimalist life style.

Mickey,  I know it hasn't drawn any blood yet!  So if it can help me tag a bear...why not.  I would think all those guys who are listed on that bow would agree  ;)

Just a thought since most of you know about the guy who makes these and you know it's like collectin' Hen's Teeth to actually get to handle one.  Let alone hunt with one    :thumbsup:    Doc


Doc I meant THAT part. I think YOU should hunt with it, but man shipping it all over the country relying on others to treat it/pack it properly not to mention UPS /USPS   :eek:

Can't give you an exact list but each rack has 38 pegs (19 per side, double sided). Quite a few of the pegs have 2 bows on them, and there are 25 bows hanging on the walls. Somewhere around 120 bows give or take.
Mickey,

I don't feel so bad with the 3 or 4 bows I have on hand, or the 70, or so, I've bought and traded over the past 7+ years.  But then again I'm sure you've built most of your bows!    ;)    :biglaugh:

Actually Bill there's probably only a dozen or so there that I've built. I've given or traded most of mine away. I do have quite a few Bears and Pearsons, some odds and ends wood and glass bows, about 4 that were made by my dad, several that were made by my Bro Randy and a bunch built by my selfbow making friends like Tim Ott, George Nagel(2), Mike Westvang, Doug Rutter(2),John Scifres, David Mims (2), JD Jones, Dano Grens, Jason Westbrock, Shawn Webb, Lenny Rosenkranz, Gregg Coffee, Tim Baker, Joe Mattingly, Rusty Craine, Bob Barnes, Tim Hamblin, Don Haingray, Terry James, and one well known mystery bowyer.

There are a stack of selfbow guys I'd still like to get bows from too (got a couple lined up right now).I'm not done collecting yet

I asked a friend of mine who is a bowyer, and a very religious man, if he thought there would be bows in heaven. He assured me that there would be. I was very happy to hear that.
