My new bow, which should be here in a month or two is an OL Adcock, 66 inch, 30.50 draw, 55#, gaboon ebony riser, tonkin cane limbs, bright red chakte kok inlays.

Hmm…

Right now I don’t foresee ordering anything. I’m very happy with my #1 bow and plan on keeping it for a long time (that is for me at least ..hee hee)

My bow budget is basically nil this year. BUT, if I can sell a bow or two, I very well might order a good lefty as I’ve wanted one for a while now. Some of the models I’ve been thinking about have been the Bowtech Patriot SC & P40 wheelie, Hoyt UltraTec or RazorTec, Mathews Legacy, and the Martin Scepter III SE (shot the Cougar SE, neat little bow!). Nothing else this year really floats my boat. I had considered the AR bows, but after talking with a few people who handled them at the show, I’ve kinda crossed them off my list (just for me personally, nothing necessarily bad about them)

I will say Saturday I got hold of a right hand Hoyt UltraTec with Spiral cam to play with for a few minutes, and if I had the money available I would have bought it right then and there without batting an eyelash (I had to talk myself out of opening up my wallet and pulling out the credit card. It would have been certain death once the Mrs. Got the statement!) It’s been quite awhile since I was that impressed with a bow right out of the box. I’m officially changing my stance on the spiral cam (hear that Frank?) <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> while I still do not care for it on the SuperTec model, on the UltraTec I was thoroughly surprised: very smooth to draw even at 76 Lbs peak weight, one of the quietest bows I’ve ever heard, and excellent speed. A very stable, smooth shooting bow.

BobC019-65,

OL makes a nice Long Bow but it's not as pretty as my Trails End Medicine Point Recurve with Bocote riser Cocobolo stripe and pierce points.
Just kidding, OL makes a fine bow. I'm sure you will love it. Sounds like a pretty one.
Is it the ACS ?

Haven't shot a smooth longbow 'til you've shot a Morrison! Pretty too!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Got a LX ordered, gonna try the Trophy Taker on it. Never used one before but you guys have talked me into it. I'll be staying with my Bodoodle Pro 500 if it doesn't satisfy me and definetely staying with the Spot Hog sight.

Sag, I opted to go with a classic design with clear glass. I will wait and see over time how the ACS holds up and maybe pick one up at a latter date. I'm really not into carbon or veneers, and want keep the bow as &quot;wooden&quot; as possible. I like to see the actual wood used in the bows, so having something cover it up like a carbon back, or veneer is not for me. All of the stains used will also be clear. Although it is tuff to pick up in pictures, even the tonkin cane has a pattern, which is accented with the correct stain.

JeffB, yes, those are some fine looking longbows, and I'm sure they shoot just fine.

I don't plan on ever buying another new bow. Trad bows, I'll make my own. Compounds, I'd find an old one that I like and give it a thorough overhaul. There are very few bows on the market these days that I'd actually consider buying, and none at all that have a price tag I'm willing to pay.

So far I'll own a new Merlin Max 3000 and Lite Storm 2, the Max will probably be had with the new Rapid cam 2 twin cams on it, and the Lite Storm 2 will have the new Omega Hybrid and may become my new 3D bow. I'm also waiting on a Kodiak Bowlogic 32 that I was very impressed with at the ATA show to run through the mill.

Who knows what else, have to wait and see as the year unfolds. Oh yeah, on an accessory note, I'm going to run those new Crimson Talon broadheads through the mill too, to see how they hold up and if the hype has any merit. Pinwheel 12

Plan on buying a Bowtech Pro 40 dually for 3Ds. When the wife isn't looking I would like a Patriot for hunting. I like the speed of the Pro 40 dually, the ATA of 38&quot;, and I can get it in my draw length. Will be shooting my Trap Door rest with a Toxonics Hybrid V sight with 9 inch bar. A 10&quot; X-ring stabilizer that I have been shooting for years unless it's to heavy or doesn't balance right. Then I'll experiment.

As long as kids are having fun shooting, I don't care if I shoot bad

Nice choice Jacko!

Bowtech Pro40DC in multicolored black! I'm waiting for the shop to get one in so I can try- before I buy.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I has the specs I'm looking for in a 3D bow! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
