LimbLover is right - we're each going to give you our preference. I like Howard Hill longbows.
Whatever you get, learn how to hold it correctly - depending on grip style, it *probably* shouldn't be held like you hold your recurves.

Alot of the bows today are smooth drawing, but the feel on release can be quite different. The deflex/reflex bows feel more like the recurve to me. I like the looks and feel of a d-shaped bow.

I'm going to chime in with my pick: Lynn Harrelson Achery. Makes a great bow at a reasonable price! Posts: 948 | From: Kingsport,Tn | Registered: Aug 2009

Mike Treadway, Black Creek, and Big Jim all make some excellent bows for a reasonable price; don't think you can go wrong with either of them. Do a search on these guys here and you will find some great reviews on each. If at all possible, shoot before you buy. Mike does not have a website, so you can get his # from me or someone else on TG if you decide to go that route (just send PM). The other guys have websites. Whatever you decide, these guys are definitely worth checking into.

To date the two I like are Fedora and Morrison. I have a Shafer coming in the Fall - then we'll see.

I own Dan Toelke D bows and a Whip and have yet to find their equals. That said I have shot some nice bows by other bowyers and I was especially impressed by the J.D. Berry and Bob Morrison bows that I shot, both very smooth and beautiful as well. If memory serves, they were a Taipan and Cougar respectively.

Well I don't own one, but have shot a MOAB and that's on the top of my "gotta get" list. It really felt good to me...good luck.
