looking for bowyers that make high performance takedown recurves

[Steelhead]

I like the Whippenstick Pheonix 3 PC or Inferno 2 PC.Morrison MAX 1 or 2 limbs and Border HEX 5,HEX 6 or HEX 7.Black Douglas or thier ILF bow.

I think Morrisons new MAX 1 curve limbs are superb as I shot a friends of mine recently with foam and carbon.That was an ILF bow.He makes the MAX 1s for the Cheyenne deflexed riser and more straight Shawnee riser as well.The ILF can be something to consider for the poundage adjustments and multipe choices of limbs available for from all sorts of makers.Border also makes a great ILF limb in HEX 5,6 or the newest HEX 7s.

I dont care what some folks say about Border.Thier flat out fast and super smooth drawing and smooth shooting.No one bow is the bow for everybody.You will have loyalists including me to certain models.

I have had many other bows that are superb performers other than the ones I listed.I happen to think those 3 stand out off the top of my head.

Lots of bowyers to choose from that will meet your criteria of high performance.

I am sure any bow listed here on this thread is excellant.You will want to find one that fits you well though personally.With the perfect grip for you and for whatever reason you just shoot it naturally.

Thier are bows with slightly less performance as far as feet per second that may suit you better than a screamer possibly.

Its nice to have a model with the versatility of different limb lengths incase you want to have a shorter brush/blind type bow and also a longer lighter poundage possibly for easy shooting,form practice and 3-D or just better accuracy for punching targets.That longer bow can obviously be used for hunting as well.

I admit though that it is nice to have all the punch you can get with a bow that shoots well and easily for you though and fits you right.

Thiers alot of things to consider before you finally decide to lay your hard earned cash down for a custom bow

It would be good to go to a traditional event like Comptoms in MI in June,the Traditional Expo in MI in January,Denton Hill PA.or Cloverdale IN in June to try the many bows on display by Bowyers or also other archers that will often let you shoot the bow they are carrying around in the tryout areas.

Good luck!

I must say, I'm becoming pretty smitten with my 2014 Bear take-down A handle (two tone color scheme), with a set of #1 limbs. It makes a 56" bow that screams an arrow. The new limbs are fast flight string compatible.  Limbs and bow length are many based on A or B riser and old Bear limbs work too.  It's an extremely well behaved bow to boot.

X2.  I haven't had a better performing recurve--and I've had lots of them over many years by some  of the best.  Love my new Bear TD.

X3  His Evolution Recurve limbs are sensational. And believe me, if you don't get exactly what you order...

1. It would be a shocker
2. Bill would make it right, and fast.

Fedora, RER, Stalker, Great Plaines and Zipper come to mind! Many more and I'm really sure what your looking for!

i must say the morrison cheyenne with the max limbs has me interested. For now the problem has been solved but you never know what the future holds. Turned out to be a bit of a storm in a tea cup.

Habu (Bugatti Veyron! Long wait and 'pay to play' but top of the mountain)

Morrison (5 star American quality with a little Los Alamos thrown in)

Caribow Tuktu EX 2pc (Fastest thing outta Canada shy of a hockey slapshot! Yes!!)

Toelke SS 2pc (just good old Montana Mountain zip!)

Zipper (see: Morrison)

Bigfoot (got one on the way, mad scientist!    )

Eaglewing (haven't tried one yet but I hear lots of good, its on my list)

Another option......Find an ILF riser you really like and then try some different limbs to get the performance you need.
