How about a Great Northern Ghost or Super Ghost?

I have a Super Ghost very quiet; Longbow quiet; and fast with a B-55 string. Very light weight bow and shoots where I look. I just do not always look at the right spot.

I'll second the Great Northern. I have a ghost and a super ghost, and prefer the former. GNs with osage limbs are about the last word on a smooth old school bow.

All osage GN Super Ghost gets my vote.

I shot a Fox Breed at the Western States Rendezvous and it was an absolute flame thrower, basic Red Elm limbs and all.  Had a guy come up to me from another target to see what I was shooting.  He noticed right away how fast it was....plus great handling with the offset grip.  Good stuff

I have a Kohannah Kurve and really like it,  but I have been itching for a Super Ghost for years.  I have shot them at Kalamazoo several times, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I also have the kurve and love it. I purchased it at the kazoo show and really love it.I am not familiar with the rest of the bows mentioned. ...the sad thing is they are probably all great and slightly different.......dang this addiction......
