For me it would be the blacktail.  Not just pretty but really fast.

It would only be Black Tail or a Scheffer and I am blessed enough that I can afford pretry much  anything I like so thats no issue. I have now  4 snake bits and 2 other Black tails so I am not partcale.

What I would really would like is another Schaffer with every option imaginable and woods like so exotic it would be wow and nothing but wows.

Theres 4 or 5 guys on here that have schaffers to die for and most have seen their bows and they are really over the top. Usally when I get a build it has to be over the top thats just what I like and its got to be right with no flaws.LOL

Theres other bows equally as good if not better than your 4 mentioned.

Black tails and Schaffers retain values and are eassier to sell if you need to it also seems by watching the classifieds.

Back to Black tails the new sika riser I really like also and been thinking about that model alot. I been watching for certain woods and each time I see them they are gone to have it on hand to get the next world wonder done.LOL

No doubt. I am big on buying the best that you can afford and then just taking care of your stuff. However, I've had a couple guns of equal quality/artistic value and just didn't use them enough to justify their cost. To me, the best value comes when you have fewer toys, nicer toys that are handmade and/or very nice production stuff, but toys that you don't mind actually using. Bows like that are more of a functional work of art, rather than functional art/beautiful hunting tool.

I like the looks of the 1 piece Black Tails.  

I think if I had the money, the riser would be made of Gold   ;)    :readit:  

Tom,  All fine bows you have listed there but I am surprised to see you thinking about bows other than Hill Style longbows. Enjoy!   :thumbsup:

Tough call. I think that Blacktail Snakebit is probably the most beautiful recurve out there for my taste, so that is what I am leaning toward.  If I plan on hunting with it too, then a Silvertip.
