My Habu Bushmaster from 1999 is my go to bow....it is 60#@29 and the one I shoot most accurate of them all....but the Robertson Fatal Styk I had and sold could have taken its place as it was a pure joy to shoot.  Just picked up a Robertson Vision Falcon so hoping it is just as sweet and might be the new number one...but still the Habu.

I have about 150 arrows that I should use up, that fly best out of my left hand and right hand 51@26" Robertson longbows, so my arrows decided for me.

My go to is a 62" snaky Hickory flatbow that pulls about 45-50# @ my 25-26" draw.

It cost me <$5.

Mine is a Sarell's Sierra and has been for years.  I am a one bow guy and always looking for a 2-piece that shoots better than my Sierra but have yet to find it.

It was my first longbow and although I have probably shot a couple hundred other bows, but it's still my favorite.  There have been two that tempted me in the past but one was a collectors piece in perfect condition except for not having the original rest and I'd want to hunt it so I passed on that one.  The other was just as good shooting but not any better than mine and I would have got it if it had been a 2-piece but since it was a 1-piece I decided to keep my Sierra.

I'm pretty much a one bow guy.  My friends think I'm cheap, and they may be right!  
Anyhow, I used to shoot a 58# Allegheny Mountain recurve.  An accidental dry fire resulted in a cracked limb tip after nearly 20 years of use.  
I've now had a 56# Foley recurve for 3+ years.  I love it.  Ron Foley doesn't know it yet, and my buddies doubt my intentions, but I hope to have a Foley longbow one day soon, just for kicks.  Nice bows.
