What bow would you want back?
« on: July 09, 2014, 04:51:00 PM »
As many of you know I have gone through a bunch of bows. And really can honestly say the only one that I would want back is a 64" Schafer Silvertip T/D recurve. Beautiful Walnut and Gray Dymondwood Flared riser. Sheep overlays on the riser and tips. I would love to remember who I sold it to. For the life of me I can't remember.   :bang head:
  So what bow would you want back?
Oh yeah if you have my old Silvertip I need it back!!!

A DM centaur I had built for me. Found it, made a trade for it and I've been looking at it for 2 weeks now destroyed by PO in transit. High dollar piece of firewood now!  Just needed to rant. But I did get it back.

I can think of several.  My problem is I keep coming across awesome specimens, but I just can't keep em all!  I have settled on a couple bows for at least a while.  My new no.1 is the St. Jude's Elkheart I just posted about.  It is perfect in so many ways it will keep my appetite for trying new bows in remission rather than full blown crazy.  LOL

Sounds odd, but a 26lb Bear bow of my youth.would love to shoot it a bit. And hang in my man cave. Parents sold it at gar sale after I left foe college.  Mad at them 35 years latter
Still looking for something I might of forgot.

Dan Quillian long bow with red elm limbs. Traded it years ago for a 9 mil because I shot it so much I got tendonitis in my bow arm. Had to get cortisone shots for it. Man it was the best shooting bow I ever owned. Won bow tournament's with it against compound shooters. This was before recurve stakes. I know I bring it up about once a month to friends how much I miss it.

Had a 7 Lakes Short Cloudy Night that I sold and bought back a couple times. I think I know who has it but he won't tell me for sure .

Unfortunately, not one but a few.  A Harold Groves Spitfire Magnum two piece takedown; a Tom Jennings Smithwick Citation; and lastly a Frank Eicholtz Jupiter.  It is amazing how much smarter you get with age.

Widow TFV, 60" 51@30, that eventually made it into the hands of Warren Womack. He refers to it as the "Yellow Dog Widow" in his Womack Journal posts on the Outdoor to the Core website.
