Best 52 inch Recurve?

[Whitetail Chaser]

Been shooting one of the eb@# K-mags for a week or so now.  It is fun to shoot but certainly finicky at my draw.  Stack is noticeable, but not severe.  I have not put a Slide on quiver on it yet, but hopefully that will cut down on the bounce that it has upon release.

Thanks for all your input.

I have one of those 52" K-Mags I just got.  It is 55# and shoots great.  I got it for $60.00 at a local archery club banquet.  It looks to be mid 60s vintage and is like new.

Come on, guys, you're messing me up!

Tell the truth- those old sorry K-mags are slow, jittery, stack like lead plates, and pinch like a bear trap at anything more than 26"! Fortunately, I only draw 26" and am willing to trade for such a sorry bow as a service to another archer....

Seriously, it's one of the most fun bows I ever shot, and I own a couple of custom sticks that are great but will remain nameless. The K-Mag wasn't even mine, and my uncle banned me from his years ago. Hopefully, I'm gonna get me one of my own right soon.

Bob, if you're reading this I hope these knuckleheads haven't changed your mind about the swap!

I would have liked to have kept mine, but with my 29 1/2 inch draw, I need to be reasonable.  So my Kodiak Magnum is no longer available.

So I will be searching for a custom, but I will need to add $$$$ to the " Whip fund " Don makes a 52", does anyone have one of his 52", what are your thoughts on it.

I know there's a lot of people that have Bob Lee Dark Archer, I did hold and draw, Brooks bow from double bull when I was up at the factory at Big Lake,Mn. last week.  But I didn't get a chance to shoot it.  Maybe I'm just pushing it, maybe my 62" Whip was some adjustments will be OK in my
" Dark Horse" blind.

I picked up a used 52" Martin rebel for under $75 on the auction site for my son.

I was bareshafting to setup the bow for him.
And I start thinking to myself this would be a pretty good blind bow or fishing bow.

It's fast, doesn't stack or pinch. It's small and most importantly I hit where I'm aiming.

I have a 28.5 draw.

Now Joe, don't you go and tell us that you are going to do that to your son !  You did give him the bow didn't YOU !!!!


Come on fess up.

shot lots of bows, including some very nice customs, including Schafer, Morrison, GN, Hill.

For the terrain I hunt, NOTHING beats the versatility of my 52" Texas Comanche!  Nothing.

Well I compromised, instead of going with a 52' or 58"

I talked to Rob at Bob Lee, they had a 56" in my poundage 43#, and it's coming from Texas, so I suppose, I'll get that thing all set up, and it will start looking for "PIGS" coming from Texas ya know.  It was bound to happen, now I'm a two bower !
