This is a tough call for me and all of my choices are recurves bows.

It's almost a toss up between a one piece 62" Martin/Damon Howatt Hunter, a one piece 64" or take down 64" Bear Super Kodiak and a 64" one piece or take down Bob Lee Signature Hunter.

I must add, all three bows give me a slight case of finger pinch. This is why I shoot 66" length custom recurves.

Martin Catalina in the 50 lb range with rosewood riser. Just one of the most awsome bows I have ever shot in my life. I tested it with same poundage and same arrow against a new 3 piece custom form a super well respected bowyer and it outshot it by an average of 6 fps. It was smooth to pull, absolutely gorgeous and super fast with no handshock. Basicaly a blown up version of the Hunter. Longer riser and same or close to same limb length.

God bless you all, Steve

Just because they are what I really started hunting with back in 68 I would say Bear, especially if you can get one from back then.  I like the Super Kodiak and the Super Mag's
