Copied this from the last time, To tired to type alot and would feel bad for ignoring it. So this may look familiar to some.

Any will do. Excal for the do-it-yourself type. Top end Horton's are fine, Ten point for some newer ideas and safety features. There seems to be some guys come in lately that seem pretty happy with Parkers. Bow Tech is currently new in the game and are still working out the bugs. The recurve design of Excal will be easy to maintain if you do a bunch of shooting. If you do not do a bunch of shooting, like say more than 500 shots a year then a Compound style will be ok, any thatI mentioned. Compounds require a press to do a serving on. I have not had to reserve my Excal since I am on my forth string this season. Not that I am having a problem with strings, but have been trying the different types, something you will not get to do with a compound, at least not readily available to most. Also welcome to the forum!
