RE: Top 3 recurves and why?
 

I'm not sure this applies just because you decide to sell a bow. I know with myself, I'm always wondering about a certain bow I've never shot. I'm wondering if it might be better than what I've got? Lot's of times, it means selling a good bow to finance the new one (or to hide it from the wife - she doesn't know one from another). I know lots of guys who regret selling particular bows.

Time and money is something certain people have lots of. They're not really losing anything in their mind by trying a new bow. Myself, I've bought and sold many without any loss. It can be fun buying and selling bows - certainly not always a chore. Heck, just last week I sold a Horne recurve that I really liked. It is just a little too hard to draw with my messed up rotator cuff, so I'm going to replace it with something 5 lbs less draw weight. I got what I paid for it, and now I'm looking forward to the new bow that will replace it. I don't consider that I lost anything of value and I know the new owner is getting a fine bow.

I would have to rank the three best traditional bows for me as: 1) Black Widow, 2) Zipper, and 3) Shrew.
