SHORT Revcure???

[Crooked Stic]

I got a 50 in.I could send you to try it is 47 @28 I think (have to look to be sure)  

[toddster]

I would be interested I try your bow, when Terry is done with it.

That crooked Stick bow looks awful good to me.

The extra weight in the TD riser might mitigate some of the twitchy shooting qualities that such a short recurve could have.

If I were in your shoes, Terry, I would give it a test drive. I mean, why the heck not? You might just discover THE short, close-quarters bow that is right for you.

If you could find a used Cascade bow they are about as smooth as they get, shoot awesome and very quiet..only sold/traded mine because it was 55# and my shoulders are shot.
Mike(Crooked Stic)makes a awesome bow also, have his 3 pc. longbow and owned a couple of his recurves..

I'm on it....I love 60 inchers...my goto bows...got longer bows too that fit the bill at times...and a couple of shorter bows...but need a short shorty to round out my tool box.

I'll email you my addy and test out that bow if you do indeed have it.....thx

[Crooked Stic]

I do have the bow just was not sure of the weigh until I looked it is 47@28. Yes Todd when Terry is done I may have him send it to you. Sounds like a plan will get it out Monday.

I now have the Crooked Stik...and will be shooting it this afternoon.

Thanks!!!

I've got a 50" Browning Cobra, and a 52" Wing Thunderbird. Both nice bows. 52 and 48" Bear Mag and Super Mag are nice as well. Mike Steliga (sp?) of Bruin Bows made some really smooth pulling shorty's too.

7 lakes makes the sawed off recurve but it's 54in. Good out to a 29in. Draw . His recurve has a longbow grip on it so you may like that being that you shoot longbow . Mike can have it to you in 4-6 weeks and at a good price.

Hey Terry,Tom here.
Dina shoots a Gene Sanders recurve,made right down the road from you in Dallas Ga.
She has killed over a dozen deer with it and it is her go to bow.
I don't know if he still makes bows but it may be worht checking.
Her bow is 52 at 28 and is 52 inches and is a fast little bow.

[Terry Green]

Thanks!

Crooked Stic review in a few...

[Gen273]

Gene Sanders did make a fine Little recurve, but he passed a way a few years ago. The Cascade NightHawk Magnum is a great short recurve, but they are hard to find. Good luck with your search, I have always had an affinity for short recurves.

[Gen273]

By the way, Gene's bow was called the Evolution.

I've been looking into getting a shorter bow myself. Would definitely help when hunting in a blind and in the thickets. That Crooked Stic looked like a sweet little shooter!

[Terry Green]

The Crooked Stic is a really cool little bow.  Handles well, dead in the hand and pretty quiet...I'm willing to bet I could get it as quiet as my longbows.

At 27.5-28 inches drawn, no real finger pinch.....smooth out to about 24 and then you can feel the power build....not really stacking at all, just firming up a little as she goes.(which I like since its only 47#s)

Nice craftsmanship and great mat finish work.

I found that it likes the Arrow Dynamic Trad Lites best.

The bow is now on the way to toddster.

Thanks for letting me shoot it Mike!!!

[Lowrider]

Terry check with Kent Roberts and see if he has a TimberGhost you can shoot. They are great shooting bows.

[KSshrewman]

Helms deep from Gregg is worth a look.

[PAPA SMIRF]

Tenbrook Archery ..... Cody made a great little 43" recurve

[Crooked Stic]

Terry I find what you said about firming up to be true. DFC showed it to be 3 1/3 per in on the last inches. That is why the 50 in. is 28 or under and probably better for shorter draw.

[Terry Green]

Mike, I think it is perfect the way it snugs up ...I wouldn't change a thing.
