RE: Top 3 recurves and why?
Nobody can tell you what bow you will like best. There's gobs of great bows on the market, and they cover huge price range.
What it boils down to is there is no magic bow. A good archer can shoot any decent bow well, a lousy archery will shoot lousy with any bow.
KenBeck (former owner of Black Widow) once told me in a phone conversation: "There's not a nickle's difference in the better bows on the market". I completely agree.
