Good grief.... There is no way I can remember all the bows I've shot since 1955. I know I shot homemade selfbows until I got my first storebought bow - a solid glass Bear recurve, 45 pounds. Then I had some nameless wood/glass recurve that I shot for ages. My first compound was a Pearson, circa 1980. Don't even know what model it was but it had the deer hoof logo stamped in the wheel hangars. And that's when I went nutzoid!

Several wood riser Brownings, a Bear, Onieda, several Martins, umpteen jillion Hoyts (well, 10 anyway), McPherson, Pearson - again.

And at the same time I had the compounds going on, there were still sticks: several each of Martin ML-14's and Howatt Hunters, some Pearsons, Shakespeares, Bears, York, Hoyts, Brackenbury (first custom 'curve), Bighorn, Saxon (2), Robertson, Bill Stewart... Lordy!

Now I've got a homemade r/d longbow, a few selfbows, still got a few Hoyts and a Martin laying around, a Chek-Mate on the way.

You wouldn't believe how many of those bows I'd love to have back. And how many I'm darn glad to be rid of!
