lets say you were to order any bow on the market.tell me which bow and why..i've had quite a few allready and frankly i'm tired of looking for the one that has it all,i'm leaning towards morrison.right now i have 9 bows and am ready to sell em all because i shoot em and then i'm tired of them.looking for the one that i just can't put down.lets hear your honest opinions,i'm somewhat green as to traditional bows.

Well elkherder, Morrison is an excellent choice. I love my Shawnee with arrapho foam core limbs. There are other good ones but you definately won't go wrong with Bob's bows.

Larry,

Have you ever shot a Brackenbury Quest? If not you need to. I am almost to the point that my other bows may be on the block soon. I am like you. I own 8 bows but I always seem to pick the Brack up to shoot.

On this bowaholic's wishlist is a Black Widow PSAX and a one-piece Schafer Silvertip recurve.

I've shot quiet few over the past three years, for me it's a Dale Dye recurve, and Centaur longbow.

Whe dont' you make your own bow to your own exacting specifications and qualities out of all the bows that you have. Should make for an interesting design and bow. Just a thought Chuck.

No one can answer this question for YOU.  Only YOU can find the answer for YOU.

If we COULD answer this question, then we'd all be shooting the same bow....and as the comments/recommendations pile up, you'll see what I mean.

I agree with Terry except I would add that you might try longbows and/or wood bows for awhile and then go back to one of your many recurves.  I did that and sold the recurve and got a new enthusiasm for shooting.

The Quest is a large part of the fun. You don't want to bi-pass the best part. Nothing more exciting than getting a different bow to try out.

Most good bowyers will send you a bow to shoot for a few days or a week. Just get out your CC and ask them!
I have and have had as many bows as anybody on here........my big love are my ACS CX's.

What Terry said; there is no perfect bow.  That's why you need more than one for different applications!

Cris @ Lewis Hollow will let you try before you buy. Both he and Morrison are from Ohio. Both great craftsmanship. Cris makes every bow himself.  If you have him send you one to try out I think you'll like it! There is a review in last Oct TBM.
