56" Cascade Archery Whitetail Hawk
Last year I was blessed and fortunate to get in contact with Steve Gorr, of Cascade Archery. He has pretty much retired, but makes a few bows here and there. To make a long story short, he made me a nice 56" Whitetail Hawk 3-piece TD recurve, with 2 sets of limbs... 50#at 30", and 58# at 30". Steve made it with some woods and a riser configuration that he said he's never done before, so I want to take good care of it. And with that in mind, I was thinking of my bows getting banged up on my 4-wheeler and in boats here in Alaska... so...
... About 3 weeks ago I was also fortunate enough to come across a fellow trad archer (online) in Ohio that was selling a similar 56" Whitetail Hawk with a more standard riser, 57# at 28", but with a few dings in it. So now I have 2 interchangeable risers and 3 sets of limbs... for a bow that is pretty hard to find these days. This is a really nice model bow, the nicest short bow I've shot that works with my draw length. And I've got some good limbs for moose hunting, and a riser that I'm not worried about beating up in the field.
