What Bow(s) Is Everyone Shooting?
 
It's been awhile since everyone listed their favorite(s), so what're y'all shooting these days?

I shoot a 10 year old Fox Longbow my Wife bought me. I named it "Old Mean Ass" after the one that bought it for me. Just a joke of course any woman that would buy a man a Fox Longbow cant be all bad. I also have several others that I break out once and awhile but my Fox is the only bow I hunt with.

I'm shooting a Horne longbow and recurve...... However, I'm considering selling the recurve to finance some heavier limbs for the longbow....

I'm shooting a 21st century longbow that I resanded and tillered to my own liking. Starting Thursday I will have a Heritage longbow to toy with for a little while.

I have a couple selfbows that I shoot, but the ones that I use for hunting is one that my dad made in a high school class in the '70s and my grandpa's old longbow.

These two, Vic.
I have been shooting my African Blackwood Trails End recurve the past two years and just got the Snakewood last weekbut haven't shot it yet.
I favor Trails End for their looks, feel, and shoot-ability.
No better than a lot of fine bows out there, they just happen to be my favorite. ;)
I know, you like shooting your Border bows best.
They are a beautiful bow too ! [8D]

Still stuck on my Crusader longbow--been shooting the same one for..I forget--10 years or better, I think. I use it 3-D and hunting. Got a Hunter I for bowfishing--my longbow doesn't have inserts for my reel. Got an 85@30 take-down Crusader coming one of these days--might try shooting a (short) 3-D course with it.

This post was up somewhere else a little while ago and I made the statement then that if I had 70# limbs for my Bear Custom T.D. that would be the only bow I would shoot. Well some trad-ganger contacted me and got me in the right direction and now I have 70# limbs for the Bear. I love that bow! Between my 80# Shelby Mustang and my 76# Howatt Hunter I have 15 whitetails but the Bears the Bow now.

I recently ended my 3 month experiment with comp...ds and have a used Kempf Falcon longbow on its way to me. I also recently placed a Kempf Kwik Styk static tippedT/D recurve on order. The Falcon is 62", 55#@28". The Kwik Styk will be 56" and 52-54#@28". It'll be late August or early September until I receive the Kwik Styk. Pics of the Falcon:
