That's an amazing collection you have there Pappy.
-
I'll take one of those off of your hands if you "think" you have too many pappy ;D ...like I need another bow in the house ::) ...maybe I'll pull some of my "junkers" out after work n snap an updated pic :laugh:
-
Great collection, esp. like the snakies!!
-
Both of those collections look to have some fine shooters in them! Thanks for letting us drool over em a bit fellas! Josh
-
Thanks for those - can't see Cardboard_Duck's through the firewall, but Pappy's collection looks excellent :)
The leverbow second from left looks especially nice, and the group of 4 in the middle just makes me giggle uncontrollably - looks like you have starched and ironed some herpetologist's prize collection! :D
-
Is the real snakey one in the middle Timber Rattler? I've been pretty hung up on wanting some copperhead skins but I like the look of that one and I already have 1 Timber skin.
I could never imagine having a collection like that. I cant find the time to get 1 shooting. I was doing good till spring came along. We are relandscaping our new house. NO FREE TIME.

im going to say what i was going to say backwards "wow" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: SS

Nice! Pics don't do em justice. A fine collection for sure. How many BOM's and BOY's? I know you have quite a few of both ;)
-
Nice pic, Pappy. I recognize a few of them in there! Now, if you post a pic of all of your knives....
-
Nice collection of bows there Pappy! I remember seeing your knife collection a year or so ago, WOW, I came back and looked @ it a couple of times. See ya soon in Tennessee. dpg
-
Thanks,yes that is Timber on the really snaky one.The lever bow was trade bow for this year from Cardboard-Duck,One of the shorties was from you Matt,I think their is one from Shannon/Will and Gary Davis also in the bunch. It would be a mess to try and get a picture of my knives. ;) :D :D

Pappy,
To my less than perfect eyes there appears tobe 25 bows in that photo!!!! Which leads to my question.....how do you ever have time to go hunting ;D :o
All kidding aside Impressive Collection!!!!!! I would also like to ask which is your favorite?

you know pappy. if your finding it hard to keep all those bows, taking up space and all, you could send one my way. I think i have a nice little place for one or two of them....lol :P :laugh: ive only got one, ill post it when i get back from class.
-
awesome Pappy......like the snakeys best
-
Pappy when I leave from the classic, we can put some of those in my truck and that would give you room to put some new ones in their place >:D
-
NICE ! That snakey one in the center really caught My Eye too Pappy - Bob.
-
nice sticks Pappy.you'll have one more when i get down there.
-
I'll post mine and be brutally honest about it. This is every thing I have ever built that shoots an arrow, excluding two broken ones and one that I sold. Out of here there are six I like two I can stand and four I actually shoot. Newest on the right oldest on the left. The two on the top are "ornamental" but will shoot.
-
Nice looking collection Newindian, I am sure I won't have these all that long,I only keep the ones given to me and maybe a special one from time to time,the last picture I took of all my bows was a few years back and don't have but maybe one of them left,don't know what happens to all of them but they seem to get away. ;) :) Thanks for the complaments.keep the pictures coming.I love seeing bows. :) :)

Pappy,
Seeing those snake skin bows gets me excited to get the skins on the one I am workign on now. Love the snakey one with rattler skin on it ;)

Great collection, Pappy. What a wonderful display of your excellent talent. Too bad you cannot show the thousands of other bows that you helped other people build. You are the GODFATHER of primitive archery.

You must be storing them wrong, some of them got all crooked.
I wish I had a bunch of my bows for a photo, I tend to give them away and collect ones other people made.
-
I do the same Lennie,these probably won't be around long,several of these are from other folks,Shannon Walker/Will/Matt/Gary Davis and maybe another or 2.
Dan good to hear from you.Hope you can make it back to the Classic,you are a bow building machine and what a sweet wife. :) :)
