What NWW has failed to mention is that he has aquired 15 bows in less than a year.  :yike:  Ren step away from the computer.  :P

Yep  15 and counting.  Its Don's fault... he keeps showing me bows I just can't live without.  :yike:  Ernie also just gave me 2 others to look at that every bow junkie should have.... a bigfoot wookie and a whippenstic might be coming my way as a retirement gift to myself....  ;)  Problem is you just can't shoot them all at once.

NWW,

Shoot them all man... shoot them a bunch... in time...you will see that there are a few standouts...and if you are open minded, you may realize they are not the standouts that everyone told you about. However, you will also learn that just about anyone of them will get the job done for you! It depends on what you really want. There are many attributes a traditional bow can posess...very few have "all of them"...

The Big Foot Bow is a "sasquatch"...T/D preferably... If you want a sweet and fast bow...it is it, along with the whippenstic longbow or recurve (which I think is called a Hell fire)...

After I get Freds bow all put together, I'll get this 64" incher all trimmed up and maybe you can give it a go... 64" is better for you anyway! :tung:

Looking forward to the 64"er!  Good advice and I will keep shooting them all.

What do all these bows cost?  I am just looking for a range - maybe a high and a low?

Really depends on the bow.  You can spend from $100 for a cheap recurve up to and probably more than $1200 for a custom longbow or recurve.  Go to tradgang and check out the classifieds there,  or stickbow.com  that will give you an idea on used bows.

Yep, they are growing Ernie. 
No, the original one.  The new one looks good as new, coarse I didn't hunt with it last season. ;)  This is its inaguaral year.  Looking forward to some field pics. 

The original is still fine, just after a couple hard years in the bush including Alaska and NM, it needs a facelift.  I should get it to you so I can have it as a backup if I need it.  Do you have time for it.  I know you are busy.

Man that Sapphire is just tough to get used to.... ;)  Took it out this weekend after shooting it for 3 days... shot in the WSAA Outdoor State Championship.... Not only did I win it (Trad) but I beat my personal best scores in the Field and Hunter rounds,  tied my best in the animal round... Ladies and Gentlemen I think this bow is a shooter.   :P

I guess you're going to have to add that one to your long list of bows in the signature line. I was out shooting mine today at my friend's place. He was impressed.
