We got 5 bows in the house and I think one more will get ordered. Now, who exactly it will be for is still up in the air.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Bill, it gets much simpler after the first 5-6 bows. You have to practice the technique, but they can be moved around often enuff that you can eventually sneak in another one w/out her noticing! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Oh yea, as for quivers I much prefer a bowquiver. Namely Selways & Thunderhorns. Have used a back quiver, side quiver, pocket quiver, & Catquiver. IMO the bow mounted quivers are much handier, add just enuff weight to aid in stability, & may even help to hide my draw from wary game animals.

Strictly longbows. all Saxon's. My favorite is the newest, a takedown 64&quot; 57lb at 29 1/2&quot;
Osage riser, ash core under red elm.
Quivers for hunting are Raptor side and a home-made side.
For roving I have a back quiver that holds 48 arrows and a sandwich!
Several different quivers and designs. I love 'em and hang them on the walls

Bill,

That's why I refuse to marry my girlfriend.
I don't want any woman telling me I can't buy a bow. No way, lol.
If it comes down to her or a bow, it's going to be the bow, lol.
I feel the same way as John does with going with all Saxon Longbows.
If I had it to do over, I would only own Sleys.


Sag.

Shootin an Adcock three piece longbow, 64&quot; and 66&quot; limb sets, Bolivian Rosewood riser and Tonkin Cane limbs. 64&quot; limb set is pulling arund 52# at my draw of 29.5. The 66&quot; set is coming and will pull around 58#.

Have used XX75 arras since forever. 2018s are just dandy for this bow. This year I am trying (again) woodies. Got some real nice ones from Troy Breeding at Stick 'n String. Shot again some today and also shot my 2018s. The woodies seem to fly real well but my groups are not there yet.

Ace Standard 125gr broadheads and a few 125gr Snuffers.

The most versatile quiver I have used thus far is the side quiver (not hip). There are a few good ones out there, I have a
SideStalker and an &quot;Adcock Stalker&quot; made by Art Vincent. The latter is, in my opinion, the best option for many reasons.

Tony

Tony, how do you like that Ace broadhead? I was thinking about going with their 160g head. I've got some from the 50s and they fly great from a 60/65 shaft and sharpen up easy. Any problems getting the newer heads spooky sharp?

Mike
