I have shot lots of high end bows and for a recurve the only one I want is a Bob Lee.

Saluki Ibex
Saluki Scythian

Also, I think Cari-bow, Great northern and whisperstik

need to be on this list.

I hunt with a longbow, but LOVE those salukis and one piece recurves.

With so many great bows out there that have so many great qualities, tough choice.

Three bows that are not made anymore, yet in my opinion are great shooters...my 56" Groves Spitfire and 56" Original Stewart Multi-Cam T/D. One more that I regret selling to Danny Rowan, was Bow River Archery Summitt T/D.

Top 3..60" Kempf Stealth T/D, 60" one piece Fedora and 56" Kempf Kwyk Styk.

I really like both my Zipper SXT and Robertson Fatal Styk, but would love to give a Schafer or Blacktail a workout to see what all the fuss is about (other than that fact that they are lookers).

For me its the Stalker Static, thats the only recurve I own. Like mentioned above that's a pretty personal choice  :)

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   :)  
      Tu Compadres, Sutty
I love the Chinook, really my favorite.  

1. Toelke Chinook
2. Great Northern Ghost (index grip)
3. Bear 59 kodiak
4. Zipper EXtreme
5. Caribou  (all of them)

I would be happy with either the Chinook or the GN Ghost if I could have only one bow.  They are a step ahead of the others in terms of design, smoothness, speed and quiet.
