I shoot Shakespeare Super Necedahs and love them.  Pretty, no stack, and they put the arrows where I point them.  Too bad I don't always point them in the right direction!!!

I shoot a Chek Mate Kings Pawn Deluxe, 41 lb and can't wait to start shooting again. Broke the elbow in February and it will be some time before I can get to full draw.

I don't think it matters what you shoot, as long as you hit what you're aiming for LOL

Any factory bows set up for 56# @ 32?  How about 59# @ 32"?  Any factory bow really want to consider a draw of 32"???????  Silence........    :saywhat:  Heck, I've even had custom makers say "no thanks".....

Not too many like a 30" draw either, dont find many Hill style bows either. Did have one production bow I should have kept, an Earl Hoyt Sky Hawk, that was a nice bow!

Oh yea, make mine a lefty.

Don't get me wrong, I have a '64 Bear Polar on the rack and my wife has a 68 Pearson hunter.  I just think when it comes to new bows there are better products out there.

Both of my traditional bows are factory, Howatts. Wouldn't mind a custom bow but my two factory bows do all that I want.  I am thinking of making me a long bow this summer. Undecided if I want to do an all wood or glass laminate. Could even start with a bow bland from Dryad. Just haven't decided yet.

I love my Wing recurves, so do my boys. Have em from 25# and up. Bears are special too. Martin is a nice bow, nothing near an old Wing for downright speed and power, but reliable. Good people to deal with too. Had one or two customs and the makers both went under. Good bows.
