I plan on buying one more 50’s Style Recurve as my last bow to purchasee so here’s the deal...If you were to purchase your ultimate bow in a 50’s Style, which bow would you buy. Money doesn’t factor into the equation. Thanks

For me there is no better 50's style recurve than the great northern ghost or super ghost

I have a 64" Kohannah Kurve on order which should be here in a couple more weeks. Great 50s style. Bob Rousselo has been building bows since 1986. He presently has a wait time of only 4-6 weeks. Good guy to deal with.

Big River, but John is no longer making bows. Kota kill-Um would get my attention from experience I’m having with his D-shape longbow (PBS auction).

I really like my Holm Made Static River Runner with the Kodiak grip. I like the best of all the 50's style bows I have had. Others I have owned are the Toelke Chinook and 3 Kota Kill-ums. I like the grip on the River Runner the best.

Douglas, you gonna let us know when you pull the trigger? Glad I ain’t gotta make the decision! I do remember long ago salivating over a Killem.

Toelke chinook. Two reasons. 1: best recurve I’ve ever shot and has 1950s style. 2: less than 6 weeks from order to delivery. Nothing against other bowyers but longer waits doesn’t mean better bows. Also Toelke guarantees within .5 lbs of requested draw weight.

Chinook or Holm-made...Chad makes one heck of a bow
