I'm going to say my black widow longbow.
62"  55# it is  quiet, fast, light and pointable.  I have 21century that I've retired but would not tread or sell it.  It is a great shooting bow and has been on many hunts and kills....

The quest is what makes this subject so enjoyable.
My holy grail tells me that I have met all your requirements and yet you still can't shoot me.

I really like to the bow to be candid and spell it out to me.

My new Wes Wallace is my self proclaimed Holy Grail of bows. It is everything I've ever wanted in a bow and more. Performance is all you could ever ask for, 56" to shoot in any situation I need, smooth powerful and beautiful! Oh no! I just gave too many reasons to ever get another?!!

No pic but will get one - Schafer silvertip recurve. I have two same exact bows except newer one has checkered grip - old faithful soon will!

one is 62#@28/64"
second 55#@28/64"
Always be stubborn.

I am just a Hill Bow kind of guy. I don't know it is actually my HOLY GRAIL or not, but my first Wesley Special is, well... very special to me.

I've got two, but they share the same father, Big Jim. A Buffalo 2pc and a Thunder Child 1pc. Once I get a 2pc Thunder Child my bow buying days are over, unless I ever need to go down in draw weight, and then I'll get the same bows in lighter weights.

Thunder Child--Tiger Myrtle Limbs. Ziricote Riser
 
 
 

Buffalo Bow--Dalmation Ebony Limbs. Dalmation/Ziricote Riser
