Martin Recurves

[DesertDude]

I have owned or shot just about evey make of bow out there.  The Hunter holds it's own with most. I sold everything else and bought a New Hunter.

For the money,  a Martin Hunter can't be beat.

The X200 is also a fine bow for the money. Simple, functional,  durable.

That Predator Recurve seems like a pretty darn good bow for the money too.  

But if you are looking for THE BOW,  and you are going to spend @ $500.00, you might as well go ahead and get it over with and buy a used Black Widow, Morrison, Bob Lee, or Brackenberry. Eventually you WILL end up there, so why not save yourself some time,  money,  and frustration?

I have a Howatt Hunter and love it. I also was looking for something better and ordered a custom bow from a well know maker and have shot it for a couple of years.  Last year I went back to my Hunter bow and it shoots circles around the custom bow.

Long story short ... after side by side tests.. I went back to the Howatt Hunter last year and have a lot more confidence in my shooting.  Expensive custom bows are not always the best!!
