Best bow I  ever owned is a 60" 60@28 widow PSA with asbell grip , I sold it a couple years ago and was lucky enough to be able to buy it back after seeing what a mistake I made,  This is a awesome bow with great mojo , it is solid built and really shoots fantastic .  I hope to be hunting with  this bow several years from now

1963 Bear Kodiak.  I sold it to Doug77 who has killed stuff with it.  I am content.  It's in good hands.

Had a 53# Damon Howatt Super Diablo that I couldn't miss with........I kick myself every time I think about why I sold it!!!  Horserod

Best bow I've owned so far was a Fox Breed. Sold it because it was too heavy for my arthritic neck and shoulder. I should have had it reduced and kept it. Still looking for the next best one.

[agross1]

The one and only schafer I've got my hands on.  It's not going anywhere.

Red Wing Hunter 58 in 48# wish I could remember what happen to that bow.

Best I sold and regret:  Robertson Stykbow Fatalstyk

Best I bought and still have: Habu Bushmaster (1999)

Best Longbow: Mohawk Sparrowhawk

Best Selfbow: John Strunk vine maple

Best Vintage: Browning Explorer 1966 58#


Best= best feel in hand, best shooting, most accurate with good speed relative to my expectations.

Since 1969...many bows have been held. Some I regret selling, others...were just bows. A quick answer though, my best bows are ones I hunt with now.

Best T/D Recurve: Kempf Stealth
Best Longbow: Kempf Trophy Hunter
Best One Piece: Fedora H560

I still have and will never part with my one piece Groves Spitfire and Bill Stewart Multi Cam T/D.

I regret selling my beautiful Howard Gamemaster Jet. When I learned Rocky Miller was leaving the business, I sold my Heritage and Predator T/D bows. Also when Rick Lepp bowed out, I sold my Summitt T/D. All the above were excellent bows that shot smooth, fast and pointable.

Bows I sold and don't miss...Bear Cub,Browning Nomad,Kittredge T/D, Kittredge One piece recurve(both built by Martin), Archery 2000 SST and GN Bushbow.

Subjective question....I've owned a lot of bows that I'm sure are great bows in someone elses hand....but for that reason no longer have them in my possession.

The one I shoot best and performs as well as any I've owned....I still have it...

Groves spitfire 1 piece 50@28

The Black Widow longbow in my signature below. Has a Toby grip.  Just a wonderful bow to own and shoot and hunt with.

I still have it.  Almost sold it to raise funds for a Taylor guitar.  Wife talked me out of it.  Glad she did.

[cahaba]

53# Northern Mist Shelton. It's one I will not sell.

[LongStick64]

Ed SCott Owl bow, got it in the classified's here, not going anywhere.

[DEAN]

APACHE BY ROY HALL and I still have it

[rocketman]

Has to be my Kanati.  A second one is on order.

[bowtough]

Paul Shafer Silvertip, still have it!  

[bartcanoe]

Two are at the top for me, I still have both of them, Holm-made River Runner and a Martin Hunter.  I shoot the River Runner everyday.  

Sadly, the Hunter sits on the rack for nostalgia's sake because one of the limbs has delaminated.

[bow loving man]

Best bows I've owned are a tie between my three Mike Baker aka Bodork from Canyon Archery Traditions bows. The Jaguar is by far the prettiest work of art and shoots smoothly and the Cougar feels the best in my hand of any bow I've shot and rivals the feel with exceptional performance and then my Maximus bow is beautiful and my go to hunting bow.....

And they aren't going anywhere, EVER!
