Do you have that "ONE" bow............

[ron w]

Is there a bow on your rack that is the ONE.....the one you always seem to pick up and shoot well. The one that just feels right in your hand walking down a woods road. The one that you can count on to make "THE SHOT" whether at the range or in the field. I have had some real nice bows.......still have a bunch. Some were top of the line.....some not so much. Yesterday I just happened to take my old River Runner out in the yard to shoot a few.......It's not pretty with it's camo paint job but there's a reason it's my go to hunting bow......it just works for me. So what's your just gotta carry bow!!??

It used to be my 68" Stewart Slammer 3pc.  I probably could still shoot that better than anything, but I let it go because I have found shorter bows to simply be more practical in the swamps and woods.  

Currently, and for many years to come no doubt, it's my Java Man Elkheart...oh but you gotta have a 'back up' LOL, that would be my 58" Slammer Special.  Followed by my Lil Slammer 56", my Fox Triple Crown, OH, AND the latest edition, my Silvertip Carbon!  LOL.  But really none of them are back ups.  I practice with all of them and when I go hunting I will grab what fits the mood and either the night before or morning before a hunt will sling a few arrows to realign the brain.  I agree with Keith, if I can't shoot them all pretty well there's no point in having more than one.

I can go months shooting other bows and be right on with the first shot from the Thunderhorn. It just fits me.

I have a River runner also and many Hill style longbows. And I think they are all quality and bows that have been built just to fit me. But I am sitting pretty with my Firefly static recurve. It just feels the same every time I pick it up. Grip is so perfect for me and points dead center, kind of like a good shotgun that fits.

I'm in KZ's camp.  I have straight limbed longbows, mild r/d longbows, hybrids and a few recurves. I'll use from three to five of those bows over the course of the fall and several seasons for different critters. I have confidence that they'll all do the job or I wouldn't have them. I am trying to thin the herd a bit though. It's hard when they all shoot very well.

Kanati for me

Habu vyperkahn. Got many great ones but still shoot this bow the best

I have my go to - actually a set of 'twins'. 58" Great Northern Lil' Creeps. One at 47# and one at 50#.  Both jack-knife models.

I shoot them OK, it is the compact size, the consistency, and the simple lines (and the folding feature) are what made me decide on them as my go-to bows.

I still have an old John Dodge 48# 70" straight end longbow that I shoot regularly. It has tremendous sentimental value. Took my first two big game animals with it. A caribou and a moose.
