The best bow for me, might not be the best bow for you. LBR can give you some real good ideas. I shoot old bows. I use to use a Mamab, but ran over it. Last season I had to use my old 1977 herters. I have just recently found another 1965 modle herters that Ill be setting up for next season, but am still in the market for a new recurve. I use pearsons and PSE recurves for fishing. Its all in how well the bow fits you.
