2017 Bows

[Shadowhnter]

Im really enjoying my new Toelke Whip. 60" 40lbs @ 28". Heck of a nice shooting bow.

Giving some serious thought to a one-piece,62" Greenleaf Widow.

Well there have been recent post about short bows on here and I have always wanted a short one for certain situations. I looked at Bear offerings and there are a number of vintage ones to be had along with several production models but one caught my eye while reading one of those recent posts. The Crooked Stic Short Curve. In fact one was passed around recently but it was RH and I am LH so could not join the list to shoot it. Well I decided to get one anyway and I sent my deposit. Looking forward to my choice for 2017!

I bought a Hoyt Buffalo early in January.  I was a big-time naysayer when the topic turned to such modern recurves, but I was really wrong.  It is a shooter and I'm glad I went for it.  I may go for another bow this year; maybe another 62" PMA or a 62" Hoyt Satori.  Time will tell.

I got a Bodnik Kiowa, 52". It's a great short bow for folks that don't have a short draw length. No stacking, I draw to 28.5". Still some finger pinch. Not fast but surprisingly accurate for a short bow. My wife has a KMag, great for her with her 25" DL but not so great at mine.

I shot that bow and its a winner for sure.  Loved the limbs.

Have a Black Canyon recurve due very soon and a Dale Dye which should be ready in July. Both lefties.

[warpedarrow]

I have purchased several already and will thin the pack shortly.
Whippenstick Phoenix td 62", Whippenstick Phoenix one piece 60", Robertson Fatal Styk td 60", Brackenbury Legend td 66", and soon a Black Widow MA ll in Graybark.  So far I have bonded with the Brackenbury and the Robertson.  The Whippensticks may be too much bow for my sloppy form as they are very fast but not very forgiving.  The Robertson shoots where I look and doesn't want to torque as easily as the rounded grip Phoenixes.  My fault, I know.

[Longtoke]

I know what you mean about those rounded grips  Brad.   I am hoping to find a used Pika with locator grip. I want to try out a little shorter bow this year.

I just got home from work and had a package waiting for me.  Been eagerly anticipating this new recurve, based on the recommendation of a my friend Dave Sisamis as well as the fact that I absolutely love my stickflingers.  The Zircote riser block came from Big Jim and I got the myrtle block for the flare and the myrtle veneers from IdahoCurt.  I think it came out pretty awesome, with antler limb bolts and tips.  62" long, 55#@29".  Guess I will get some arrows tuned to it tomorrow.

Loved my first one so much that I had Brian build me another.  Sent him chocolate myrtle veneers and riser blocks of chocolate myrtle and Bastogne walnut burl that I got from IdahoCurt.  This one is around 59#@29" and 64" long with antler tips.

One beautiful creation!

My other stickflinger has limbs that are 56# and 63# at 29", so I figured it knew what arrows would fly well.  Put some tape on the string for a nocking point, and here is my first 2 shots at around 18 yards.  One with a 175 grain tigershark, and the other with a 230 grain  javelina lite.

More than one beautiful creation!

Kent Roberts of TimberGhost may have my riser with newly designed G3 limbs heading my way by week's end.

She is destined for action.

New Silvertip on its way to me. Finally pulled the trigger after much cheapskatedness.

[AR RidgeRunner]

Scott's TGhost G3 limbs are coming along. Carbon back and belly with foam cores. Just about ready for finish.

That's one mean looking stick!
