whats the best shooting compound bow you have ever shot

[Recurve-Elk]

Martin Jaquar, great little compound.  Only set at about 60 lbs and shoots a good amount faster than all my buddies bowtech's.

Hoyt turbo hawk. For the money it is the best darn bow I have shot.

I'm sorry guys that raised the dead from the dead old topic, just have a few interesting observations from personal experience, perhaps someone will need this information in the future.
Compound bows have a let off of any where from 65-80%. Guys who are shooting 70lbs with a compound with 80% let off are only holding 14lbs after the let off. Those same guys will not be nearly as accurate with a 60lb recurve or longbow.

There are sights for recurve bows but honestly for survival bow, stick to the KISS principal. The only thing that replaces practice & experience, is more practice & experience. Shooting a bow without sights is not nearly as difficult as you would think.

I had a 35lb fiberglass longbow https://secretstorages.com/best-compound-bow/  for years (my wife inadvertently sold it during a garage sale - she's still is not allowed in the garage). I had a dozen wooden arrows for it and I was ridiculously accurate within 30 yards. Never shot it with anything other than field points though. Never shot broadheads with it.

Look on eBay and check Craigs list. You'll want a finger tab or glove for holding the string. I never used an arm guard because, IMO, it promotes the bad habit of locking out your arm when shooting.

I haven't shot many bows other than the mid-range ones I've owned. I did shoot a Matthews zero cam a couple of years ago and immediately wanted to go into debt. That was a smooth, quiet bow.

The Bowtech icon in smooth setting is pretty tough to beat for comfort . the primal g5 was always a easy bow for me to shoot aswell .

First compound I ever bought was a PSE Stinger G3. I didn't know a thing about bows at the time. First part of this year a close friend put a BowTech Icon in my hand. OMG! I was in the dark ages all that time with the PSE. There's a world of difference between the single cam and the double, I never knew. Bought the Icon right then and there. I love shooting that bow. Now all I have to do is harvest something with it.

I have shot PSE, bowtechs, few Hoyts, Diamond.  My Mathews Z7 X is great.  Best was a Mathews Z9.  Big long bow but butter to shoot and pin point arrows.

Anything that costs over a grand is probably going to be pretty nice!
