On another post some wanted to see my bow collection !! Here it is in all it's glory !!
Stuff from Chad Holm, Mike Treadway, Black Widow, Hill, Northern Mist, JD Berry, Bear, McBroom, all kinds of ILF stuff, Liberty, Browning, Two Tracks and some that I'm forgetting. I try to shoot them all now and then !!
Very nice :archer2:
Nice.
Holy Cow!!
Ron next time you come to NY let me know. Maybe we can go kill some foam or paper again. It is always fun to see what bow you are shooting .

Time to share the wealth Ron!
😂
Everyone should have more than one . . .
At one time the east wall of one room was insulated with bows. Then my wife wall papered and all of the racks screwed to the wall came down. I looked at the pile. 28 longbows and I forget how many recurves and decided that I was obviously nuts. You definitely need more than one. I went out to shoot a few arrows today with one of my lighter remaining longbows, one that i had given away twice and twice it came back to me. 28 degrees and 30mph wind. I am also a sissy pants, too cold for me. If I could give that bow away again, i would have an excuse to get a new lighter longbow. One always needs a lighter bow on a rack.
Ron, I asked for it and you delivered. My God Ive been in Sporting Goods Stores with less inventory!
Now, you have some great bows by well known craftsmen, but if you had to pick one out of the collection, which one would you pick? OK, Im going to cut you some slack because it is obvious you have a hoarding issue, so Im asking you which two would you pick....
I have to go by style of bow, recurve: Chad Holm River Runner Static, R/D longbow: Leon Stewart or Chad Holm !! ASL: got a bunch of Hills. ILF : Zipper 17" riser and Dryad static recurve limbs. BUT, a lot of the others I would take hunting in a heartbeat!!!!
Ron,
Loved the answer I you gave above to my UNFAIR question. You are right in separating styles of bow and individual tastes plays into our opinions. I have a outstanding Silvertip double carbon with Koa on back and belly which I love, and I have a NM Ramer which is so smooth and the reverse handle helps my shooting quite a bit. At 75 yrs old I think these two bows will be it for me ....
Thank you for your posts - remarkable collection.
Well, I'm going to to be 70 in June. My collection has dropped in poundage by 10 pounds. I did have a Silvertip that I should have kept, best grip in the market !!
A treasure trove of bows you like is the greatest toy chest for endless entertainment.
Awesome collection! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I can't make any of it out. However, we are the same age and I can identify with that.
That's a bunch Ron! You have me beat for sure!
I've been known to collect a few too...tippit
Great collection....I see myself having a good number more before I have "enough" :archer2:
Nice collection Ron!

I guess I just can't let go of stuff. I notice a lot of guys selling or trading bows, because they can no longer comfortably pull the weight. I still have several bows that I can't handle any more, but I just don't want to get rid of them. For example, I have a 60# Quilliam Bamboo Longhunter as well as one of 78#. In addition, I have two 65# Wesley Specials. I will hold on to them and dream of times gone by. My collection is not large, but these bows are special, whether I can shoot them well or not.
Changing directions... It is fun to see the photos of so many of the members' bows.
