I started trad w a 45# Ben Pearson Hunter 2. Nice little bow but pretty slow. Got a rosewood DH Superdiablo 46# next. Stunning looks....hated the grip. Hoyt Huntmaster takedown .....shot well for a cheap import....55#. limb tip overlay problem. Said screw it and ordered a Blackwidow MA 2. $475 bucks back in 87. 62".....62# and all inserts. Shot it a few yrs and went a little shorter and lighter. Don't care for inserts in my risers and like 58" bows best.......what i ended up preferring. Had other bows.....maybe thirty or so. 38 to 65#. 56" to 69". Lots of fun experimenting/testing..........but for me i think im done. My fave bow so far is the old metal riser Blackwidow HS. Shame they dont maKe limbs for em anymore.
