Kinda like asking who has the prettiest wife.

I really like my TimberHawk longbow. Quiet and fast.

Best I ever had was a Windstorm Archery longbow by Tom Cable. Too heavy for me now and passed to my son-in-law. Really like my Two Tracks Longwalker, 64" 48#@28".

Horne Take Down Brushbow is what I shoot.

I have shot a Toelke Whip one time and liked it.

Maddog Mutt is a good shooter as well and I have one on order.

I bought a Jodie Cole R/D longbow last week and it is a good shooter as well.

As far as top 5, I would have to shoot all of them to narrow that down and that ain't happening anytime soon.

Dwyer bows are my first choice, there are alot more I would like to shoot. But the Dwyers are so smooth and ultra quite.

Bought my nephew an Abbott w/carbon arrows. Only r/d I've shot. 57# but lightning fast & easy to shoot w/those arrows. Still prefer my D style Hills w/big straight handles.
