If we're bending the definition, Bob Lee all the way, no question.  Otherwise, a Hoyt Dorado or the new Tiburon, or T-r-@-d-t-e-c-h ILF setup with either TT or olympic limbs.

Awfully trough to beat a Howatt Hunter or Diablo.  Either would be my choice.

Why just production bows? Cost? Wait time?

There are many nice custom bows out there for equal or less cost than some of the above bows.

Yep.  And right now every one of us is shooting a used bow after that first shot.    :archer2:    Still some tremendous values to be had.

If you can find a Groves Spitfire...buy it. You can also get a "Vanilla" Fedora H560 one piece recurve at a decent price and believe me...this bow is a shooter.

Bear takedown for me.    I like it better than any other bow I have owned-production or custom.

wow thanks guys...im enjoying seeing all the different brands and preferences here. since it was my question ill answer it based off what i have shot and so far for me it would either be a take down bear (really nice shooter) or the samick sage (again really nice shooter but lacks the looks). the bear if money was no object, the sage for money saving purposes...thanks again for all the replys.

I really like how my Martin L-100 longbow shoots well for me, no matter how long it's been since I shot it.
I also love my Kodiak Magnum for the comfortable grip and maneuverability.
I shot a Hoyt Buffalo once, and it was very nice, I just couldn't afford it at the time. Nice bow though.

That's about all that I have to say, about that. Lol.

If indeed Black Widows are classified as production bows, then I'll have a 56" or 58" BW PAX one-piece with all tulipwood or all black/white ebony.

Otherwise, gimme a lowly Bear Montana or one of the newest Bear Super Kodiaks.

I really like my 50th anniversary bear kodiak magnum. The more I shoot it the better I get with it! I also have a Shakespeare Ocala made in 1972 or so that shoots well. Last but not least I have a mid 50s Locksley Puma that shoots pretty sweet and it was a gimme!

For a production bow the absolute best bow for the money is a good condition used vintage kodiak or super kodiak
