A Black Widow PMA recurve with 2 sets of limbs.  Black Widow makes great shooting, high performance, consistent, durable bows.  They are an operation that has a long history of high quality and a stable, ever-improving business.  They have great reputation for tremendous customer service, and will likely be around for many years, to help with issues that may come up in the future.  As for the bow choice... You can shoot the PMA off the shelf or with a rest.  With its taller sight window, it would accommodate sights if you ever so chose.  Of course, you could shoot it instinctively, as so many do.  And they look and feel great, too!

I actually have taken to my new BW longbow and hung up my PMA for a while... but the PMA is more versatile, in my opinion.  

Just my 2 cents... but there are a lot of other opinions out there...!

A Blacktail recurve and I'm lucky. I already own two of them.

I slightly favor my 37# one over my 42# one.

I have several high end customs to choose from. However, in the event of a fire or something similar    :scared:      :(   , I'd grab my new 56" Kempf Qwyk Styk in one hand and and try to get my Morrison ILF with the "D" LB limbs with the other.    :thumbsup:
