I like a one piece bow also but I can see the draw for a take down or 3 piece if you do alot of traveling.I have a Black Widow PSR 56' 47@28" and its probably my all time favorite.I do wish it was a little heavier though....

My favorites to date. Teolke Chinook, Kota Killum, Fox Breed, Great Northern Super ghost. Heard the Holms River runner is nice as well.

Being mainly a longbow shooter, I don't like Heavy Recurves. My favorite one piece recurve is a Crow Creek by Elmer Patton. I know he is retired and finding one is near impossible. It is as light as a Toelke Pika...tippit

I love my Great Northern Ghost. I've got an older Bear and Ben Pearson that are both one piece and great shooters as well.

Schafer, I've had 3 of them, all were excellent bows. Robertson makes a great one piece, he can put a bow bolt in it if you want a two piece for travel that looks and shoots like a one piece. Others that I'd recommend are the the Tolke and Norm Jacobson's Bear Paw.

As mentioned I am a one-piece fan. All my longbows and my recurve are solid bows. I have a Martin MTD that was traded for but not been shot and a Brigham kit bow that is also a three piece, one might get to like it. I can see a two piece recurve and/or longbow potentially in my future.

I've owned and shot a truckload of bows over the years. I have not shot anything better than the Samick Sage one piece recurve. Put a FF string on it and it out performs my custom recurve at 1/5 the price. A really nice bow that is not getting the recognition it deserves.

Personally I don't like the grip and shelf cut of Bear bows. I like a heavier 3 piece for shooting tournaments or backyard shooting but if I'm spending two or three hours walking and stalking a lighter bow is nice.
This Mamba fits that perfectly. Short, light, a grip that isn't too deep.
However it wouldn't be the one I put in the luggage for a hunt out of state or in Canada.

Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve had several 3 piece bows, but still prefer the feel of a one piece. I have older ones, but custom one piece don’t seem as plentiful these days. If I travel to hunt it would be driving so that’s not an issue.
I really like the look of the Tribal Styk but I don’t think he makes that style anymore. Blacktails are awesome too if I could find one.
Thanks again

Both types have there place and advantages. I do like one piece bows.

Any way I have a Fox Breed, Checkmate Attila and a Mahaska.

Those are great looking bows John (beeman)! If I traveled by air I would certainly look at takedowns, but since I don't I only have one pieced bows...love the looks of them!

Yeah Gary. Pretty sure you looked at it when u were out. Thanks. I like it too

Bernard Bjorklund · « **Reply #34 on:** March 24, 2021, 02:13:28 PM »

Beeman (Bryan).....I don't know where the name John came from on my previous post!

No worries Bernie all good.

A Robertson Peregrine, Coywolf or Wolfer should get a serious look. The Peregrine below has been with me almost 30yrs

I just got a Hurst “Prana”. Still trying to figure out which arrow it likes, but a very nice shooting bow.

This is my Prana which is a Static recurve and 59” that should be in my hands on Saturday. Coltin had it built in about 22 days and he just did Marks in front of mine.
A really great young man that responds to Every email,text and phone call and a pleasure to talk to.
Here’s mine below .

My first trad bow some 20 years ago was a Jeffery classic hunter. It was a fantastic 50's style bow. I had a Schafer one piece that I regrettably sold just due to the fact it was a little heavy on poundage. I have been eyeing a Widow KB for ground blind hunting, they shoot like a much longer bow for sure.

Wes Wallace still builds one piece and Silvertip are available in one piece. If I had deep pockets those two would be on my list.

My Blacktail Sitka is two years old now and even though BT no longer offers a one piece I was half tempted to try and talk Norm into making one more before I ordered the Sitka.
