Default What's the Best bow you'll likely never own

With so many top choices out there these days, is there one that you always say is nice, but honestly say you'll probably never buy.

For me I'd say the It's The Truth by Bear.

I've never even shot one, but visually and engineering wise it's a nice rig.

Default RE: What's the Best bow you'll likely never own

I figured up, based on past experiences, how much I thought I'd likely spend on bows over the next 20 years. Having been thoroughly surprised with that figure, I decided I'd go ahead and get THE bow that would take me through the rest of my hunting days.

I did the sme thing when I bought my Martin D28.

And I oredered it (the bow).

I've shot about every brand of bow "that I know of" out there, now. Some are great shooters andare built by relatively obscure bowyers. Some are very popular bowyers/bow companies.....and aren't that great (IMO).

I won't say which class these fit into (from the above descriptions), but I'll likely never own:

Black Widow Recurve or Longbow
Treadway Longbow
Palmer Recurve
Tomahawk Longbow
Assenheimer ACS

Well, I actually was able to buy the bow that I wanted, money no object, a few weeks ago for my fiftieth birthday. I settled on the Diamond Iceman. I don't regret that decision, even though I may never be able to buy another high end bow in my lifetime.

I concur Gr8. I'll probably never own one, but they seem to be solid bows. Right now, for me personally though, I'd say the Bowtech Sentinel. I just can't find a place for it, realistically speaking. I'd be nuts to replace the 101st with it, that said I really liked my Commander and think the Sentinel is a sweet shooter.

I guess I missed the point of the question the first time around. The best that I'll never own would be the Bowtech Admiral.

Any of the Elites, too high of a price tag.
