I'm a self-professed bow junkie, but pretty much always default to my DAS Daala or Morrison bows for hunting purposes.  

To loosely quote Dana Harvey from Wayne's World "at first a new bow is restrictive, but then it becomes a part of you". : )

I would be far better off, if I only had/shot one bow. Wouldn't have as many mouths to feed either.

For me it is what shoots the best for me .. right now that is a Hummingbird Alpha Male.. funny thing is I really didn't care for it at first.
The riser feels like a handfull,it was loud until I got the brace where it needed to be , it is quick, shock free and shoots very well for me.

My Pittsley Predator recurve.

I have had it three days longer than my thirteen yr old son.

It`s impossible to know how many arrows have come from it. It has worn out countless strings.
Re-finished by me several times. It has hung on the walls of two of my houses. Rode in the back of three of my pick-ups. I would guess at least three dozen deer have fallen to it. 73lbs@29 1/2", with a 750 grain arrow, I have had only four occaisions where a whitetail carried my arrow away.

Pretty enough to dance with but not too pretty to work.

A custom made one-piece recurve by european serbian bowyer Mojovic bows. 57# @ 30" draw. Riser is laminated in african bubinga and european mapplewood. Limbs are laminated in mapplewood, carbon and transparent fiberglas. Centre-shot arrow position. It's very smooth, very accurate and pretty fast, I love it

Shrew 58" Classic Hunter I seem to veer away but always come full circle back to Shrew longbows. I do really want a Javaman Peregrine, Gregg Coffee always seems to put the right bow in my hand. A true craftsman to say the least!!

17" DAS Gen 1 riser with short WIN&WIN limbs. Makes a 58" hunting bow that I can adjust as much as any target bow or shoot off the shelf if I am so inclined. Quiet as a mouse, quicker than most and very stable. I've tried other limbs (Hoyt and Border top end limbs) but they do not have all the qualities of the Win&Win limbs.

My first Silvertip. I ordered it in 04 and got it in 05. Bocote riser/Zebra limbs. Killed several deer with it and even head shot a fox squirrel with it. I shoot others well and will hunt with a Bear T/D and Big Jim Buffalo this year but I have started thinking that could change....

My Cascade Nighthawk is what is really really working for me now. But i have still to tune my new whip, but i can safely say that the nighthawk will be my only recurve.

My Blacktail recurve has it all, quiet, fast, easy on the eyes.  Definitely my go to bow, at least until I get my new Blacktail in a few weeks...   ;)

I have decided to just shoot this bow as well, hope it brings me a fraction of your success!
