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

Kota Kill-Um is one that I sure want to try.

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

You might want to check out the Mountain Monarch by Big Jim

I've had a Great Northern Ghost for many years - a very good bow.

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.

Lots of good recommendations for me Mountain Monarch came to mind first.

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).

Big Jim is building my Mountain Monarch as we speak can't wait. TD.

Black Widow PSR takedown

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
