I figured up, based on past experiences, how much I thought I'd likely spend on bows over the next 20 years. Having been thoroughly surprised with that figure, I decided I'd go ahead and get THE bow that would take me through the rest of my hunting days.

I did the sme thing when I bought my Martin D28.

And I oredered it (the bow).

I've shot about every brand of bow "that I know of" out there, now. Some are great shooters andare built by relatively obscure bowyers. Some are very popular bowyers/bow companies.....and aren't that great (IMO).

I won't say which class these fit into (from the above descriptions), but I'll likely never own:

Black Widow Recurve or Longbow
Treadway Longbow
Palmer Recurve
Tomahawk Longbow
Assenheimer ACS
