I have a Bear Grizzly, and have heard much good about the Super Grizzly.  See the thread below.

Take a look at the Super Grizzly.   Better performance.

A Super Griz is hard to beat.

Centaur Super Curve!!!!

What about it appeals to you? They are good bows. Quite fast, or so mine seems.

If I read correctly that you are looking for suggestions for any recurve then by all means consider a Toelke Chinook. Do a search on posts concerning them on this forum and read the tradlab assessment. They are stable, have exceptional speed and like all Toelke bows are beautifully crafted and QUIET!

[Wudstix]

Undomesticated is correct.  It has to appeal to you.  If it is the best bow by popular vote and it doesn't fit you, then it's not the best.

I agree Michael, and I’ll go a step further.
I have owned at least four Black Widow bows and the last one (a 62” 51# PSA with a Cooling grip) is far and away the best one of the bunch for me. And I wouldn’t have bought it or even tried it, except for the fact that the previous owner sent it to me on a trial basis. We have some great people in the traditional ranks.

Also I have owned a few Tall Tines bows.   Saw one languishing on a for sale listing by a guy I personally knew and thought I’d take a chance on it. I say take a chance because it was outside my preferred stats. This one is 58” and previously I wouldn’t go below 60”, preferring 62”. Plus it is predominantly white- probably my last choice of color.

But I love this thing, it shoots great and blends in better thank you would think.
So, you never know- even bows by the same maker, in the same model might have subtle differences that just end up working for you.

Here is the Tall Tines, last hunting season.

Definitely a Northern Winter bow, won't work as well in Texas!!!

Gary, how/where did you get the paint job?  Very Nice!!!

Hi Terry,
That bow was dipped when Brian Wessel made it. Not sure who did it, I bought it used.

I had Michael make a heavier set of limbs and am in the PTO Ed’s of painting it myself. Not going to be as nice as the original, but it will work.

[MnFn]

I will refine it a little, clean it up here and there
And add a few golden leaves like the original.
Now I have the original 47# limbs and  new 52# limbs.

X2 on the Chinook.  If you're open to different bowyers and haven't yet considered the Cari-Bow Tuktu Ex, do yourself a favor and look into those as well. Simply an amazing, fast and SILENT recurve.

Everyone here can give you a suggestion based on their preferences.  What are YOU looking for in a bow?  Like nostalgia?  Then look at a Bear for the 1970's.  Want best performance? Border Covert Hunter.
