Best Bang for the Buck?

[dirtguy]

Brock just beat me to it!

USED!

I have gotten a Howatt Hunter and a Martin Hunter here for $200-300 and they are great bows!

Used custom bows are also availabel at very good prices.

Lost Creek hands down.

Martin Savannah.

I just ordered a little longbow for my grandson from Mike at Maddog Archery. When hand built beats anything on Ebark, that is bang for the buck.

IMHO. Mohawk, Kohannah, and Dryad are the best I have owned for the money. With that said you need to shoot some and find out what fits you. I think with these 3 you could cover the spectrum of grip and limb design.

Maybe I misunderstood--did he mean "what is your favorite", or did he mean "what bow gives you the most for your money, personal opinions aside"?  My reply was to the latter.

[HATCHCHASER]

My reply was to the latter as well. I have owned a lot of bows and in my opinion the three I listed are the best I have owned for the money. Not necessarily my favorite. There are quite a few good ones out there for the money. I Just haven't shot them all.

Exactly

Exactly; hoever, I might add I would sacrifice a few dollars for a better product.

The best I've ever owned for the bucks is an old 60's Red Wing Hunter that I happened to pic up at the auction site for less than 100 bucks including shipping.
My favorite bow for the money is a used Great Northern Ghost purchased recently for about 3 1/2 times that figure.
I've seen some aweful nice previously owned bows listed in the classified for less than $300.
 I see no reason to purchase a new one until you are absolutely sure that you've found the perfect bow.

Previously owned Howatt Hunter-- $150-$200.
