I have a toelke classic whip coming in the coming months

Big Jim 2pc thunderchild b&w ebony should be here this week!

Michael, you're going to like that Whip.  I picked one up from Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear, used but absolutely like new.  I had never even had a Toelke in my hands, but boy is that a nice bow.  I have a Timberhawk Odyssey Hunter TD longbow on order this year.

Thinking a PSR this year!

On the list for some lighter Primal Tech limbs.  Gonna keep my eye out for a lighter (mid 40s) longbow as well.  But no real big plans.  I tend to be opportunistic though.

So I second guessed myself.  I'm going to go ahead and justvgetva second riser built along with the limbs.  I'm going to have my longbow limbs trimmed back a few pounds as well.  But ii figure during 3D season I'll just have the 45@27 RC limbs on one riser and the LB limbs on the other and not have to swap out between rounds or when practicing.
Then during season I will always have a set up that's identical (except DW) in case a bad thing happens on a hunt.

I can't believe I dropped the string (our version of "pulled the trigger") on another bow, so early in 2022!

I was perusing another site and discovered a LH version of the bow I wanted as a young teenager more than 50 years ago. I couldn't afford it then. It was a Wing Thunderbird. The black phenolic/micarta? one.

I bought it for $215 from the fellow on the BIG auction site who is selling off about 240 bows after years of collecting.  It is "only" 43# @28", so I'll be lucky to get 38 # out of it and my 26" draw.  However, I figure a couple bows like this may keep me shooting if God wills me a few more years.

This one has some use issues in the finish.  There was a beautiful one all gloss and pretty, pristine like the one 50 years ago. Alas, it was a RH bow. Another one I found in LH but it was 60# @28".

I'm going to be searching to see if I can get this bow prettied up a bit.

I won't have the bow until later in January, owner is out of town.  To get ready for this, does anyone know someone who does this kind of work?  Or is it easy enough to tackle DIY?
Thanks

Not brand new but new to me this year I bought a factory camo 1971 Bear Super Magnum (55#@28"). 

After a long wait, I have this coming to me! Caribow Taiga Ex brand spanking new from Abe! Can't wait until she arrives!

Purty for sure     hope she shoots as well as she looks 

Well.... ive got a 17" Bosen Horn riser with Bosen carbon foam limbs to make a 42# longbow coming as well as a 25" Sebastien Flute Barebow riser with 30# Akusta limbs to make a 68" bow. I'm pretty excited about them....

I shoot the same way Terry shoots, always have. And I have always done it withBlack Widows in the past, for the most part. After being really sick for the last few years, life has changed a little. I am getting ILF risers as I am now shooting 30-40#s trying to find my way again. I am pretty excited!

I have talked to Tim Finley about possibly getting a Jackrabbit longbow.  We'll have to see how the year goes.

I just bought a 2020 pristine Bear Montana...a really nice longbow that great reviews.

I have had a love relationship with my Toelke Pika for sometime now, so much so that I just received my newest Pika which is a takedown. I have looked at Greg Coffee's Elkhart, and also his helms deep, which is a recurve. Maybe someone that has or had both a pika and one of Greg's bows can chime in on their thoughts of both bows. I think the grips are very similar.

Bernard, the Bear Montana looks great and I've never heard a bad thing about them, also based on the picture you provide, I understand why your working with it inside... hope you can get out soon and enjoy it.

Kirk @Bigfoot bows is building bow full time again!!
He just got some serious Macassar ebony. I couldn't resist and order a Sasquatch hybrid LB made out of it. Now de 2-3 monthes wait begins.

That will be my 2022 custom bow after the incredibly accurate Sasquatch SS recurve he made me for 2021.

Turning 60 this year and ordered a 58 '' Toelke Chinook Happy Birthday to me.

Black Widow informed me yesterday that my PMA is approximately 3 weeks out from completion.

Anticipation is on the rise....

I have another new (to me) Bear TD riser in A length coming to me very soon.  It will be a back-up to the 50th Anniversary riser I currently have, or, who knows, may compete for no. 1 position.   

Orion....you are enjoying the beloved Bear traditiion.
