If you could only own one recurve bow what would it be? Please include make, model, length, poundage at your draw length.

..... see, I have a real issue with that "one bow" thing.
But, The CM hunter2, to me is like the lead head jig in my fishing tacklebox.  It ain't the prettiest or fanciest and it certainly didn't cost much, but it always works well.  ;)

If I could have only one, it would be a longbow! But in keeping with your question, the last of my recurves to go would be a old magnesium A-risor Bear takedown with No. 3 60# limbs.

RER Arroyo 54" 53#@28" No stack all the way to 30" as far as I can feel. Very smooth and quiet even withouit silencers. Shot the snot otta one at the WTA banquet. Bill W was and is just amazed at this little bow. And for good reason. <><

So far it would have to be a Robertson Vison Falcon, 62" and 57# @ 29".  But I haven't tried them all yet, so my quest continues.......  ;)

My pick is a Bob Lee Hunter Pro, 45# @ 26". It's a 54" one piece recurve that will fit just right in a blind.

I have a Schafer on order that's supposed to arrive in August. I might change my mind then.

I'd have a hard time choosing between a Habu VyperKahn 64" 55# @28" or Blacktail Elite VL with same specs.  But I'd probably go with a Blacktail because it looks so good and performs pretty good as well.

The best recurve bow that I have ever had is a Black Widow 53# @ 26.

It would be hard to pick just one, but if I had to, it would be Rose Oak Wildcat 50# @ 26"   58"

I'll second the Rose Oak bows. But I prefer my new 58"50#@28" Puma Hunter. Brandon has a new limb design that is very fast and quite and it feels great in your hand. For about $500 they're a tough bow to beat. Mike

Black Widow PSA 56" 59#@25"...  This bow is short, sweet and seems to want to shoot where I am looking. The perfect choice for ground hunting.

Only One Recurve?...That's easy!...I'm happy with my Black Widow TFV Ironwood...60", 51# @ 26"...This bow has served me well since 2002 and has been rained on, stepped on, fell out of bear stands, thrown about, but most of all...Saved me from a broken wrist during a fall on the rocks...

I Love My Widow...And All Her Battle Scars!

Thanks for asking Jim!
