What is the best hunting bow ever made?

Thanks for the welcome shrewhaven...Once I figure out how to post a file or photo, I 'd be glad to share what I know.  Along with a bit of a early Howatt history, I also have inherited my fathers favorite bows.  The era of the rosewood Howatt's  certainly was a time when they were on the top of their game.

Lotsa' really good bows have been made over the past 50-60 years. Mid 50's Bears are outstanding. The gen 1 T-Bird I'm shooting currently was way, way ahead of its' time. What a great hunting bow. In a way it is too bad that Glenn joined Bear but he didn't want to be stuck in a wood shop and I get that.

Just think about what future generations of bowhunters would have lost if Glenn had been obligated to a bow shop and not been the ambassador he was for bowhunting.

The one that shoots the best for you and gets the job done. it's not always the price or the maker.I have a few bows long bow and recurve. And sometimes I grab my wife's 1969 Indian archery bow for wabbits and squirrel's because it's such a tack driver always a head shot shooter for very small shooting

From popularity I would say it would have to be the Bear Grizzly....

In the end there is no BEST BOW for everyone, every situation...it is always personal preference.

I do love my Browning Explorer          

Two of my very favorites.  I have been stumping with a Root Warrior and it has the makings of a perfect hunting bow as well.

Seems anything quiet that you can hit with is going to do the job provided you match the arrows and keep the broadheads sharp.  The bow doesn't know how to hunt so you have to.

Yeah...ditto on "which ever you shoot the best with". It's all that matters...

For me and it is only as it applies to me,it is my Jack Howard Gamemaster.  I bought it from Jack in 1967.

The Bear take down is and always will be my favorite bow but.......
For hunting,
the Schafer Silvertip TD is the bow for me.
