Waiting on a JD Berry Taipan , but the Northern Mist Baraga I picked up used last year is going to be hard to beat. It is a sweet shooting bow !

It's no longbow, but my asymmetric horn bow is easily becoming my best bow-when my larger Kassai comes in, we'll see though.  I could shoot just the horn bow, I think.

I've got a feeling my Taipan from James will be my go to bow and my most accurate.... but I sure like my vixen also.

However, if I could only have one bow forever, it would be my 3 piece takedown Thunderhorn..... for traveling reasons and it just shoots great.

It's got to be straight and strong enough so that it will serve as a walking stick when shooting days are over and memories are all I carry.

The one that I shoot well. Shoot a few and pick one that works best for you. If you find one that shoots great for you - buy that one. That very bow. Good luck and let us know what you end up with.   :)   Todd

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Mine.  I've shot over 200 bows and none are as natural for me as the one in my signature.  If I ever find one that's better, I'll definitely buy it on the spot.

NewWood VanGuard.

It is super light to carry. Everyone I hand it to shoots it accurately. No vibration after the shot. It has a medium grip and keeps my elbow tendinitis from flaring up. The craftsmanship is excellent.

Out of the ones I've owned or had a chance to shoot the Thunderhorn heartstopper has been my favorite. Had a nice one about 6 year back, should of keep it       :knothead:     . I also really liked a Great Northern Bushbow, pretty basic bow, but great shooter.
 
Two I haven't had a chance to try but would like to some day would be a Centaur and Fox royal crown.  I'm a recurve guy and don't care for the straight Hill style bows at all, I gave'em a try just not for me.

Without a doubt it would be one of David Millers American semi longbows probably an Old Tom 66" with string follow at around 50 lbs at 26" I just love the way they shoot they are smooth, quick with no hand shock.
