Plain Bows, Anyone?

A rather high percentage of the traditional shooters I know shoot Blacktails. None of them have any qualms about dragging them through the western Oregon pucker brush.

Many of the comments here have me considering another pretty bow now, and scratches be damned!  I guess there is something to be said for getting something special if you have to wait half a year just to get it, or more.  I don't know if I could bear to take some of the Blacktails I've seen out in woods, though.  Some of them look like they ought to be hanging in a museum or something!  Funny, though, the only one I ever shot I did not like at all, mainly because I thought the grip was too high for my liking.  I could have sat and looked at that bow for a long, long time, though.

I took this picture of my "plain" bow this morning. Funny thing is, I didn't pose it for this photo....I leaned her their while I messed with a trail camera...when I came back I thought "Wow, that's pretty"      

Plain maybe, but beautiful to me!

I have two Bows, Well one in hand and one on the way....
    Both are Hill's My Big 5 is Black Glass back and Brown Belly....With Black Walnut Riser....
    The one on the way is a Tembo, With Caramelized Boo and clear glass, Don't know what the riser is yet, I told Craig to surprise me since he did a good job of that with my Big 5....
    Neither one has overlay's on tip's our riser, Keep it simple....
    As long as they perform, I'm happy....

I like beautiful bows with exotic woods but fully believe that some simple designs have a beauty all their own. Plain does not necessarily translate to ugly. Simple designs often have that sleek, no nonsense appeal that just makes it look like a performer. A lot of them perform as well as any fancy design out there and do it with the same elegance as a very expensive designer model. Fancy or plain, I like 'em all!

I hunt with all of these, yeah they are pretty, but they are weapons and I do with them what they were ment to do, hunt and kill.

Those are works of art; it'd be tough for me to drag those through a thicket!

I like awesome bows myself and I use them like intended,they will survive me and maybe some more generations of bowhunters,with a little of refinish they will be like new again,we don't.

Roger, Absolutely fantastic bow!  There is just something about those Northern Mist bows that says "take me to the woods".  I love it.  Pure simplicity and beauty all in one. Thanks for sharing.
