RE: What bows in your time?
 

Over 48 years of shooting, I' ve had way too many to list by name. I' ll give numbers of each type and my all-time favorites.

@30 selfbows.

15 longbows (Saxon Mongoose).

25 recurves (Brackenbury Legend).

23 compounds. Hoyt' s ProVantage/ProForce series are still my favorite compounds (I never broke one of those risers even though they have a bad rep for that), with the Martin Firecat a close second.

Current stash - 3 selfbows, 1 longbow, 4 recurves, 6 compounds and various kiddie bows for teaching youngsters to shoot.

After reading Phil' s list, I remembered 2 Browning compounds. I' m sure I' ve forgotten a bunch more. :D

Guess I like the BowTechs now.;)

RE: What bows in your time?
 

My first bow was a hand me down from my father. An old bear....the one with 2 wheels up by the riser that you adjusted for your draw weight.

Next I bought some kind of PSE. Can' t think of the name right off hand.

Then somebody gave me an old 2 wheel compound to play with. Couldn' t even begin to remember the name of that bow.

Then I upgraded to another used bow. Golden Eagle Carbine Extreme.

Last but not least, the best of the group....... Mathews SQ2
