Just curious what other collectors consider thier "Holy Grail" of bows they still want.

For me, the ones I want are (figured I would list top 3)

1) Howatt Eldorado (it just looks cool!)
2) Bear special numbered ed takedown (Will never be able to afford but hey. I would just settle for for a nice B handle takedown, cant believe I dont have one   :(  )
3) Bear Formula Gold (I know, I'm wierd)
Shooting recurves before recurves were cool

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I need a 67 1/2 Super K, that one is the Black Beauty. Have a 68 and a 69, need that one for the trifecta.
No hunter should feel guilty for killing a deer that doesnt meet someone else's expectations.

I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

59Alaskan

Haven't been at this long.  I am looking for a couple of bows right now but not sure if they are the "Holy Grail".  I own 1959 Grizzly, Alaskan, and Kodiak Specials all at 48#'s.  Now that I have (by accident) happened upon those I want to finish out the 1959 suite with a Kodiak and Polar both at 48#'s.

Then I have my eye out for a Wellman Archery Bow.  I have heard good things about them, but I am looking for one of these largely because they were made about 20min from where we live and it's a piece of local history.

After I have been at this a few more years I might better know what the true holy grail bow is for me.
