5 pages into this topic and nobody has mentioned the Gamemaster Jet by Jack Howard.  I can't believe that.  I do have 5 of them, so I guess my list is complete.

Jack always gets forgotten somehow. Don't know why as I think he built some of the most beautiful bows ever made.

2/ Black Widow (Black) 62"
3/ Tall Tines 60"

Had a ton of bows. I would say Silvertip,Dale Dye,Robertson Fatal Styk. With the FatalStyk in 1st place.

[LimBender]

will_hunt, that Asbell Big horn aint the fastest or lightest bow, but it's a shooter with a great high wrist grip!  Really enjoyed shooting that one.

I may likely have never touched any of the top five recurves.

Those of which I have been fortunate to have played music from were far superior to my own inept skills. thus rendering my judgement invalid. However, my vote resides with those bows which have granted the utmost mercy and forgiveness as well immersing me w/I the spirit of the arrow.

In Order:
Tolke Kestral
Tolke kestrel
Morrison ilf
Schafer tip
Schafer tip
Black widow PCH

[Moots]

I mostly shoot longbows, but I really enjoy shooting my Wes Wallace, and I have a Whippenstick Phoenix on order.

One bow that I keep coming back to is my Wes Wallace. I've tried a few different bows, but that's my favorite. I'd still like to get a few of those"top of the line" recurves like Schafer, Robertson, Blacktail, and tall tines.
