I have one of the original Gamemasters and it is probably the most stable, dead-in-the-hand recurves I've ever shot. Plenty fast, and with it's past-center cut riser can be tuned to shoot a wide variety of spines either off the shelf or with an elevated rest and plunger. Though some complain about them, I find the Hoyt limbs more than satisfactory, and combined with that Tec riser make a bullet-proof combo. You can however use ILF limbs by simply swapping the ILF bushings for Hoyt ones from Lancaster Archery. Honestly I can't think of anything negative to say about this bow other than the smallish grip takes some getting used to.

Same here I did get a set of limbs from sky archery they can fix you up to. Very stable bow. My bow I bought used and it came in with a putty built up on the shelf and rug rest glued to it and had a plunger works good for me.

I just picked up a used one with TT limbs on it. A very nice shooting bow. I like the handle but you can wrap it or carve a new grip if you want something bigger. I like the fact the handle is past center shot and I can get it set up right where I want it. I kind of like the looks of them too. For the money, they are a very good buy in my opinion. Used they can be a great guy.

I've owned a lot of different bows and the GameMster II and Dorado risers are hard to beat.  With the vast number of ILF limbs available, you can have a different outfit for just about any use.

My current hunting rig is a Dorado with TT BlackMax Carbon Extreme limbs; my current target rig is a GameMaster with the same limbs only five pounds lighter.

I own a original game master. The thing is bomb proof and a great shooter. It's mainly used as my carp bow but it's all together a great bow
