I second buckster,most bow are better of what i am so it is just the time you spend with a single bow that makes it becomes the favourite.
I love too many different bows,all good for me.

Actually a holy grail bow is one you don't own and want to own and are on a mission to obtain it.  What I see are favorite bows, not holy grails.

longbowben, That buck is just fantastic! What a brute!!!!

As far as the original question, I searched and searched, thinking I would find the holy grail of bows after several years. Spent a bunch of money on bows, spent a bunch of money on shipping, and here today I shoot what some would call a "production bow". It was fun, it was exciting, but in the end, I realized I wasted alot of money. Seemed like I tried to make things more complicated than they were. Best of luck to you in finding the right bow.

I don't know if "Holy Grail" is appropriate.  But I fell in love with her first time I saw a pic of her.  I was thrilled that after I got it, it fit me like a glove, and hits where I look at, better than any other bow I've shot.  Here's a pic....
another....
here's the grip.....
here's the riser....
here's a full pic....
I can't imagine ever gettin' rid of her....

My 58" Silvertip 1 piece curve. Simply an astounding bow. Smooth, very quick and silent!

Guys it took me a long while and a pile of bows to come to my holy grail.At least for recurves that is    . Mr Jack Kempf makes a beauty called the Kwyk-Styk,sure floats my boat... Enjoy the pics
