If I could only have one bow, it would have to be my Bear Takedown with the A riser and 53@28"  #2 limbs.  So far this is my favorite bow ever, and I've had quite a few!

Jim,
I have to agree with Shawn on this one. You know I only shoot longbows now, but I've shot alot of recurves in the past dozen yrs and even bought and sold a BW. When I shot Guru's Kwyk Styk I told myself, if I was too buy a new bow, it would be a kwik styk.

I just shoot a couple of new wings that felt nice.

Get to some trad shoot'sand test drive befor you commit to all the Honey Do's you've signed onto below in the fine print.

DAS GenII riser with either Win&Win WinEx limbs or Border HEXIV ILF limbs.  I'm awaiting the DAS inserts for the Border limbs so I can shoot them on the DAS riser.  The WinEx limbs are a great shooting set of limbs.  Based on my experience with a Border bow, I suspect they, too, will shoot very well off the DAS riser.

I shoot longbows almost exclusively, and have for a long time, but the one recurve I have in my rack is a 60-inch, 55#@28 inches bamboo lamed Great Northern Ghost.  Over the years, I've shot a lot of recurves, but have never found one better.
