Here is a new takedown recurve I just got from BlackCreek bows. It is 42# and 56". They custom fit the riser to my design and fit.

Great wood combo. Beautiful piece. Not sure about the grip though. Looks wild!

I love the look and would love to try it out. It is definitely a shape i would have to test before buying.

This grip is not their standard grip.
Most people like their standard grip which is much more of a low wrist than this one.

Pretty is as pretty does!
Your pictures show its beauty, your score shows that its not as Terry(TG) would say is "all smoke and mirrors"
Thanks for sharing!
God bless,Mudd

I remember using tape epoxy and parts of a tennis ball cut up just to get a grip close to that back when high wrist grips were all the rage. I love the look of that grip. Nice bow.
That front strip looks like phenolic or is it ebony?

The front is phenolic. I wanted a little extra weight in the riser.

That was the second riser with a custom grip we made for John. The first was for his A&H ACS limbs with a very similar grip. There must be something to this unusual grip because I've never seen John shoot as well as he does since he started using it.

Not too many take-downs that appealing to me but I just love her.Bacote rules.Reckon how she'd work at a 29" draw? CONGRATS on the curve and your score!
