I have and had a lot of great bows but if I had to go down to one it would be a Northern Mist Shelton with the Classic running a close second. God bless, Scott.

I've shot a few not as many as some here but when you shoot one that has it all you just know it is hard to beat!
I agree with this.  I can't get over my centaur..

I will limit my choice to bows Ived personally owned...

A Dwyer Original 66" and 48@28.  Feather light, classic lines, super quiet and the bow I just love to shoot.  

(But that in no way implies that I don't have a wandering eye!

Wapiti 3pcs recurve made by Kieth Chastian. 60" and 50@28. But I would give my 8yr old grandson my crow creek blackfeather longbow 60"51@28 and my wife would get my tall tines 62"59@28  just in case...

My bows are for hunting and the one I shoot the most accurately on a day to day basis is my original Titan ILF setup.

ummmm True? No, Wait, ,,, False!  I don't understand the question?

Give me a  stick and string and I am a happy Man.

I am sure i answered every one of those other threads differently but at this stage in my life, I am Partial to Big Jim's Thunder Child.

Last Time it was my 60 Kodiak (still love it)

The time before was my Bear Grizzly (still love it

Tine before that was a Big River 21st century (still love it)

I find that if I spend any time getting to know a bow, eventually we become friends and usually lovers. Often if I do not like a bow, its my own fault.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

The bow that I shoot well and performs well is quiet and is pleasing to the eye.  I cannot pick just one so I narrowed my list to two bows that I would never part with.

1- PA X 60" Black Widow recurve...

2- Hoyt Pro Medalist Hunter 62" awesome Earl Hoyt Jr recurve
