Default RE: What kind of bow do you shoot?

I' m generally shooting my homemade longbow. Cost me $100 for the materials, used a friend' s form and hot box.

Got a freebie recurve, an old Pearson Colt, that had badly twisted limbs. Heated the limbs and worked most of the twist out, then recut the profile of the limbs to take out the rest of the twist and work down the draw weight. I' m thinking about making a form for a recurve of my own design, but that will have to wait until after hunting season.

My compound is a Hoyt ProTec our archery club presented to me as a distinguished service award. I' ve got it decked out with a Doinker stabilizer, Cavalier flipper and catwhiskers, though at one time it wore a GKF Golden Premier, Archers Choice sight and a Fletcher TruPeep and string loop.

Still pull out one of the old SuperSlams when I get in the mood, also shot barebow and fingers.

And then there are the selfbows... Can' t stand getting in a rut with only one style of shooting.
