Sovereign Trident. Hard to come by.

For current bowyers I would take almost any Saluki.

howatt or the martin mamba or dreamcatchers look great for production bows. the widow PSR with a recurve grip also looks good.

i personally am a blackwidow man. i've owned 4 different models and they will send you a test bow to try out. my suggestion is go to a trad shoot, most every guy there will let you shoot there bow, we all seem to be very proud of our bows. funny how we (as the one guy said) get that 2 year itch, someone might sell you his to buy a  new one.

A Roy Hall Navajo Stick "diamond". It's super fast, whisper quiet, and looks great. I just love mine.

:pray:  My perfect one piece would be a Hybrid of the 60's era Wing Redwing Hunter. If only a bowyer could get that awesome choclate toned rose wood and craft a riser slighty longer (60" to 62") than the original 58 "so you wouldn't get the finger pinch at draw lenghts past 28".
 I have Redwing hunters at 45 and 50 and 53 and they are very smooth. fast and quiet. The grip is hard to improve on.
 The recurve geometry on the RWH is about as close to perfection as God could come up with and if he wanted a bow I think he would apprecaite a Red Wing Hunter.
But He might not listen to me all the time.

One thing about 58" bows is that they are great in a tree stand and also you can shoot them when you are sitting on the ground without the limb tip hitting.

also, the tiny little sculpted tips of the classic RWH are so pretty if i ever break my bow I will make jewelry out of them.

I'm with Jim on this one.... old Red Wing Hunter.
I had an original RWH, 48lbs... it was a sweet shooter until the limb tip cracked while I was shooting carbons out of it (nothing but heavy arrows for me now!) ... it broke my heart when I saw what happened.

Whoa!  Time warp!

I'm still liking my Martin/Howatt Dream Catcher and would grab that if the house was afire.  Smooth and quiet and spits them out (as well or better than the old Hunters).

Stotler, but that was many years back.  I don't know if they are still around or of the same quality and design.

What ever you shoot best would be the one I recommend. Taken care, bows these days will last your life time and pass on to your loved one!

I am a longbow guy but, have one recurve and it will stay for good. It is my new Maddog 60" recurve and let me say it is a shooter!

Good luck with what ever you choose.   :thumbsup:

Like Mr. Rothaar I like my Gamemaster Jet. If it ever eludes my possession and I can not replace it I would quite shooting recurves altogether and just stick to longbows.

I'm a longbow shooter, but the Martin Hunter is the best recurve I've ever shot at any price. It doesn't look custom but it sure does give superior speed with good stability. A most underrated bow.

Custom made I love the Blacktail bows for pretty.
