Two, the 48# Magnesium Bear T/D I bought as a teenager back in the day, and the John Doge longbow he and I built together named "Cat Tracks".

I had a 3 piece Thunderhorn longbow with two sets of limbs that I sold in a moment of stupidity. Sure wish I could get it back or find another one.

I traded off a T-horn Heartstopper one piece that I should never have let go of.

My first bow. Well the first manufactured bow. A red Bear solid fiberglass. It had the perfect grip on it. A white bowstring. Wish I had that one.

I had two bows would like to have back... One was a Buffalo Runner Spirit by John STrunk that I won at the Trad Bowhunters of Maryland banquet back in 90s...maybe 97 or 98. Same night my truck was broken into at the banquet and everything stolen out inside including stereo...but I won a bow by damn! LOL IT had been refinished by Rich Lopez....and later I sent it to John STrunk and he worked the tiller a little for me and refinished it and did the inkwork over again. I sold it and regret sellign that osage bow...it was a fire bolt.
The other for emotional and not performance reasons...was another osage bow. This was one made by Joe Mattingly...it was called Dog-Leg. When he was near his end there was an auction to raise money to help him out and I donated a bow he made to help raise funds. Joe and I talked about it quite a bit after his surgery....and right before he passed he sent a new bow he had made and named One Holer...little static tipped osage bow. Both are sentimental...but Dog Leg is special.

Well Guys I hate to be the guy that doesn't have any regrets but.....
I have been lucky enough to keep all the bows I would ever regret selling. I put way too much thought into a bow before listing it. Maybe too much according to my wife.

I had a beautiful all osage Benchmark. No doubt I would no longer be able to pull it back but it was a beauty.

Bob Lee take down recurve, 64", 51@28", micarta riser and tips. I bought it used, couldn't get it quiet enough at the time but I've learned a lot since I traded it and am sure I could've solved it now. I shot that bow better than any I have ever owned before and since.

I had a 69" 60@28 Sky Trophy, really nice shooting bow. I sure wish I'd kept it.

I have a self-imposed limit of bows. I just can't justify to myself owning more than I have right now. I have sold a few bows in order to get the ones I have now. My Blacktail VL and my Pronghorn are the best I have owned.
I do have some minor regrets about selling my Shrew CH to you, Ed. It was a very nice usable bow weight to me at 51#. I think what I miss about it was the handle design was just so different compared to my other bows. that and the maneuverability of a short bow (56").

A Wes Wallace Mentor takedown 56# 60" bocote riser with bloodwood accent stripes, red elm limbs with bocote veneers. Traded this bow for two HHbows, one was a Big 5 and the other was a t/d Owl. Still reeling from this trade.

A Frederick longbow by Fritz Jonk . . . a very nice mild R/D longbow that I should have kept.
