Ok, so.....
        Toelke Kestrel
        Toelke Curlew
        Toelke ...........
        All Other Recurves

I realize I may sound like a Toelke Addict , but I could not be happier with.my Bows or my Bowyer. Besides, it's all in the eyes of the beholder  :)

Zipper, Black Widow, Bob Lee Ultimate, Stalker, Predator, etc.. the list goes on and on. Thankfully now days just about any custom bow you can order and most mass produced bows will shoot better than most of us will. The trick becomes to find which one fits you. When you buy any of the top of the line bows being produced today I have never found one that outperforms another by a large margin at all. My bow my outperform your bow in my hands but in your hands it would be a totally different story.

Well said James and I agree if the bow doesn't fit all goes out the window.

Being a longbow guy at heart, here are my favorite recurves...

Kempf Kwyk Styk 56"
Toelke Kestral 52"
Widow PSA 58" (think I would really like the PCH in 56", but haven't tried one yet...)
Silvertip (had a 60", think I would like the 58" better just haven't tried one yet...)
Last choice... Open...

not in any particular order...and why I like them :

 1. Old bear Kodiaks... quality and shoot right up there with modern recurves  yet made 50 years ago plus....

2. The Mongoose.... Old style handle with static curves made by Quartermoon longbows in Pincher Creek, Alberta by Bert Frelink.....fast quiet and accurate..... pretty

3. Summit Recurve by Bow River Archery..bowyer Rick Lepp...Cochrane Alberta.... three piece takedown..best finnished bow  you'll see. Unfortunately Rick retired from the bow business

4. Sovereign Ballistik.....very fast, quiet static recurve

5.  Old Bear takedowns......very ingenius latch design and nice shooters...

.....not tried em all but would love to try every bow made LOL
