Here we are with yet another "best" thread.
I am of the mind that one has to shoot everything one can get hands on and decide. Just because someone else recommends one bow doesn't necessarily mean it is the one for YOU! The Shrew IS a fabulous bow, the Saluki bows ARE awesome(I have shot them an love them), the Arroyo IS a nice bow----however, who is to say that a Dryad won't fit you better? Or a Bear, or a Thunderstick, or whatever. Shoot all the shorties you can get yer mitts on and decide that way, one mans' favorite likely won't be yours/ Thats the beauty of trad shooting.
