Your "Holy Grail" of bows you want?

[AALLFAB]

Jerry Pierce Choctaw and the Jack Howard Target Supreme and original early St Charles Thunderbird

You are welcomed to the other two, but I got dibs on the Target Supreme.

If I were not so technologically challenged, I have pictures I could post.

[AALLFAB]

Does it actually exist or is there just a photo of one. Do you know anything about it. Jim

[PAPALAPIN]

Oh, it exists.  Or at least it did.  I have a post card that Jack put out showing different views of the Supreme and his original Gamemaster.  

The supreme was actually a target weight Gamemaster with extra rosewood added on the back and the belly side of the riser.   It was made in such a way that you used the high points of the rosewood caps to mount a sight.  

If someone will send me an e-mail to

emillet@bellsouth.net

I will e-mail a picture that you can post here.  

I am technologically challenged and never learned to use PhotoBucket.

For me it's just one bow...an original 1953 St. Charles Thunderbird.

Today I picked up a "perfect Cobra II"  It may be kind of light at 36# but you did not specify a weight.

This is out of the box new condition.

Jack,

Agreed. I have seen bows by Pope, Young and Thompson but never for sale. It would be something to find one of their bows that no one knew about, or one by Ishi, Grumley, Chester Stevenson, or Howard Hill. Considering how easily those old bows are damaged, it would have be one stored in an air conditioned vault.

Hey...ya never know

I just got a 76 Bear Super Mag 48" 85# at 28". It was new-in-the-box after all these years. Awesome!

the holy grail was never found?
I'll stick with something I can get my hand on, next is a Paul shafer silvertip, original in a light shootable weight, then a Moriah, then a bear paw, then a toelke, each one is the holy grail until I get it.  When done I will have a bow from all the local bowyers.

I think a 1960 Kodiak like traps' would be a pretty great bow to aspire to...along with a 59' Kodiak of course. I also have been watching for a 63' dogleg, 50# range....cuz' it is the year I was born! I just love bows....

[BobT]

Right now mine would be a '58 Kodiak 56" to complete the set.

Then I would start looking for the rest of the '58 specials.

Almost forgot I would like to have a '58 Black Widow too!

I have two 50# doglegs and a 45# if you are interested.

[Double Creek]

I'd like to have a 1958 Bushmaster

[azdriheat]

1959 Kodiak Maple Window is mine.

59 Hoyt Pro Hunter 47# BOWDOC magic applied. Its on my wall way too pretty to shoot! Guess I need another.

Minty '59 Grizz

Gonna have to modify my list a little:

Type I B RH (No Sight)
1997 Wood B RH (All Blonde Handle with No Stripe)
1963 Dogleg K-Mag (Type I or II)

[PAPALAPIN]

Old Skool

Don't even think about stringin', much less shootin', the Type I K Mag
