Best Hunting Bow EVER?

Thats a tough one with new and better bows coming out each year.
I used to get a new bow quite often, then i got a bowtech boss a few years ago and have not bought a new bow since.
Im a tall guy with long arms and a long draw, so this just fit me perfectly without being too large or too small.
And it shoots lights out and is fast enough for anytning i hunt.
The letoff, valley, and backwall are perfect too, i can hold at full draw until my other arm gives out.
There are also adjustements i can make at home with the different cam settings. I can set it to be more aggressive if i want.
Seems like People want the fastest and lightest bow out there these days, but i would rather push a heavier arrow then get these speeds they are getting now with their light arrows.
I hunt elk and mulies, so i prefer a heavier setup and shots of 60 yards or less.

But in all reality, there isnt a perfect bow out there. There is a bow that you shoot better than others, you just have to find it. Hah
Im sure you will get plenty of brnads with this thread, you just need to go to different shops and test them all.
Ive heard great things about prime and eite bows. I might try those, but will prob keep my boss a few more seasons
 
I'm pretty partial to my Sarrels Sierra Longbow. It has done just fine for everything that I've hunted for almost a decade straight now.

Probably my finest was a Paul Schafer Slivertip recurve built by Paul, very smooth and shot a nice arrow.
 
I've got a Bear "B" Mag riser take-down limbed at 50lbs. Left hand, high wrist. Smooth as silk! The bow shoots WAY better than I ever have.
Better is a relative term.
 
My pick is the old school (early 1970’s) Black Widow takedown recurve that my Father left me, he won it in a pool tournament before I was born. Though he rarely used it he took excellent care of it.
After he passed I sent it into Black Widow to make sure it’d be safe to shoot, thankfully it’s as solid as ever. Due to injuries I can’t really use it now, but, the few arrows I slung with it were as effortless as firing a bow can be.
 
The best one, the one you shoot best. The gear doesn't matter if the arrow doesn't find the target. I shoot a PSE Stinger, not sure which gen, second I think. Good wide range of weight, fits me well, and shoots nice with a trigger. I'm sure there are far better shooting bows out there, but for what I need it does the job just fine.
 
My Bowtech Allegiance was by far the best bow I ever owned and shot. I wish I still had it.
 
Picked up one of Bowtech’s carbon bows when they came out. Light, fast, and was very accurate for me after I set it up to my specs. Best non trad I’ve ever shot. Shouldn’t have sold it.
 
Mathews HTR for me as far as wheels go butbi am beyond certain there are smoother rigs now. If ever i go custom trad it will be a Centaur by Jimmy Neaves in hamilton MT. Pure works of art.
 
I have a hoyt carbon matrix and a hoyt powerMAX, and at half the cost, the powerMAX is an amazing bow. Small, light, quiet, fast, and VERY user friendly.
 
Best compound Ive ever shot is my dads Mathews Vertix, thats a sweet shooter. Best one Ive ever owned is my Mathews Legacy. I like those older Mathews, though other brands are nice too.
 
Picked up an Athens Recluse a few years ago. All I need. I've got a Hoyt something as back up... forget the model
