BobLee TD LongBow, clear glass 64" 54# @ 32" 3 under, should take care of deer to moose. Now which model and which wood types, I'd have to think on that a month or two!  :)

64" BobLee Classic TD LBow 57# @ 32 1/2
64" BobLee BCentenniel TD RCurve  53# @ 32 1/2"
Always looking for BobLee Long Bow or RCurve Limbs, 64" 40# to 50#.

I haven't run across anything yet that my 62" 21st Century, 51@28 couldn't handle. My Howard Hill Cheetah has me thinking about ordering another Hill Longbow though. I would hate to be limited to just one bow. If presented with a grab one and done survival situation, I would , with a downward gaze and shaky hands, grab the 21st Century.

If only one, I'd have to go with a 64" Silvertip recurve, no exotics, just super strong dymondwood. Blacktail is a close second.

I would be very dissappointed if everyone chose the same bow. This shows how many great bowyers are out there today.

I have a bunch of bows, but if I had to choose one today, it would be a Tall Tines recurve.

I have a John Maus Kayapo recurve, and a Kirk Lavender td recurve on order....either one could become my favorite.....we'll see.

I have 2 Wesley Specials, 2 Cheetahs, and a Big 5. In a pinch, I could go with any one of those.

As much as I love longbows, especially my Apache, the nod would have to go to my Chek-mate H-2. I simply shoot it better. Didn't say good. I said better.

Easy, a 66", straight grip, string follow Wesley Special.  I have retired my recurves and could live with this one bow, but I would reserve the right to buy a spare....
