I am kind of partial to Sarrels longbows and he is right here in TX too (just south of Austin). Bob has many different models of both recurves and longbows and loves it when people come by to try them out.
That being said, the advice posted above, to go to some shoots and shoot as many as you can, is the best advice you can get. There are a bunch of different bowyers out there who are all building some great products. What one guy loves, the next guy hates. When you pick up "the one" you will know it and just have to have one.
