A Dale Dye one piece with, medicine points, Osage veneers, and osage riser.  I ordered the bow and waited almost two years for it to arrive.  Unfortunately, shortly after ordering it I had trouble with the right shoulder and had surgery shortly before it arrived.  Had to shoot left-handed for a couple of years.  Finally, I sold the bow two years after receiving it, thinking I would not be able to shoot right handed again.  A year after selling it the shoulder finally got better and I now do 90% of my shooting from the right side.  

Last time I seen heard of it, Danny Rowen had it  and was giving it away as a Christmas raffle here on TradGang; Just because that is how Danny is (Damm, there are sure a lot of Good people here!).  Honestly, I can't say how it shot because of the pain I felt when trying to shoot it, but I'd sure like to put a few arrows through that bow.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

back around 82 I had a PSE recurve 62 or 64" 55@28.
It was accurate and drew smooth as a hot knife through butter. It had an aluminum handle and I traded it because I lived in Northern Michigan then and it made my hand cold in the late season. I wish I still had it because I now live in Georgia!

I've sold some, given away some, and have plenty still hanging on the wall.

Of the ones I've parted with, the Tamars Super Racli (Italian made) 66" 40@28 RD longbow would be the one I'd want back first. I sold it for a steal to a young lady getting into archery. I told her if she ever got rid of it I wanted first shot. She's never called. I'm guessing she still likes it. It was one quiet bow that loved GT Trad 1535s. I traded a post vise for it.

It's not a Cadillac bow, but it was a smooth good shooter.

A bamboo cored 64-inch Critter Gitter.  Also, a one piece Asbel era Bighorn. Parted with a Morrison Shawnee when it got a bit heavy for me, but have since replaced it with another. Still looking for the others.

Back in the late 80s I had a beautiful Chastain Wapita T/D 70@29 regret selling that bow, it was a screamer.

I traded for a Lost Creek Life Ender. Bow was a right hander and I was in the process of switching to lefty. I sold it to a young lady getting started in Trad archery and who was looking for a pretty bow to start with. I now shoot from both sides and would buy that one back in a minute.

Great Northern Fireball.  At 43# it was my first "nice" bow and I mistakenly thought I needed to move up in weight to hunt.  Man, that bow just fit me...been chasing that feeling ever since.  Traded it on TG, and I know where it is, but haven't got her back...yet.  This picture was taken right after we moved into our new house, so please don't judge the purple paint    :rolleyes:  

 

RER LX.  Great bow.  52@28.  Still don't know why I sold it.  Contacted the TG'er in Colorado I sold it to, but he had already sold it.  If you see this bow, I'd love to buy her back.

 

And a Mohawk I sold to Ron W, a Dwyer Original that went out East, and I THINK that's about it!

A Wes Martin 'Mosshorn'. It was 58"s and 44@28. The bamboo lams were a sorta funny greenish color. Last I heard Vermonster sent it to a reservation somewhere up north for some kids to shoot. If I can't have it I'm glad those kids do. Hope they're still enjoying it.

I had a Browning Nomad in 1979 that I dearly loved to shoot. It disappeared from my truck one day at college along with some tools.

I'm still mad about it...

I had a 56" Striker Stinger that was 44#@28". It was a great shooting little bow. Perfect for working on form because it was so easy to pull and hold. Mis that thing every time my form needs work. (A lot! Lol)

In almost 25 years (and about the same number of bows) of shooting recurves, I can honestly say that I never let one go that I wanted back. When I start thinking that the bow might not be the best for me, I usually wait about 2 years before selling. I have sold: Schafer, Widow, Assenheimer, Rose oak, Palmer, Martin, RER, Marriah, etc. and have no regrets. I currently have 4 with a Wes Wallace due soon. The only ones I have owned that I would never sell are my Habu and Hoyt Gamemaster 2. They shoot the best for me year after year.
