Ranking a few bows

[Friend]

For my serious hunts:

TimberGhost and Dryad Orion

[Michael Arnette]

I value a flat draw sequence and lack of hand shock and could care less about form. Grip is important but not critical for me. As one who has shot about every Bow I can get my hands on for the last 11 years I'd say this would be my list:

Recurve T/D:
1. TallTines
2. Hoyt Double carbon ILF (except noisy)
3. Schafer silvertip
4. Morrison carbon/foam limbs

Takedown 2 piece Longbow:
1: Centaur
2: Primal Tech
3: Teolke Whip

3 piece longbows I haven't shot as many but I have Randy making me one of his in a primal tech 3 piece and I think I'll like it.

Off the shelf bow:
Longbow: Bear Montana
Recurve: Bear super kodiak
ILFs I'm not as experienced with

I just acquired my first Tall Tines Stickflinger.  I'm so floored by how it performs combined with the fit/finish that I can only guess that the recurves must be sensational!  If my house caught on fire right now and I could only grab one bow it would be the Stickflinger, no question.  I have owned a mess of the best bows and this one is just something else.
