I am looking at the Bear magnum as a option and have looked at 1964 Bear bows the year I was born.

One piece curve.....Rose Oak King Panther by Brandon Stahl for sure. You will not find a "prettier" bow and they shoot like a million dollars! You DO NOT see his one piece recurves come up for sale very often.

This 64 inch blacktail I am shooting now is gonna be hard to top IMO.

I had an older Blacktail about 10 years ago.It was a good bow.But these newer versions are really beautiful bows and shoot beautifully as well for me.No comparison to my old one.

RER Arroyo is a great 1 piece bow.

I really like the Widow PAs alot in  a one piece.Excellant design,easy shooting and a looker.Awesome riser!

Whippenstick bows Firestorm and Hellfire are superb one piece recurves.

In a 50s style I like the GN Ghosts,Toelke Chinook and Holm Made to name a couple.Thiers alot of other very good ones though no doubt.

Whichever you fancy. My Martin Hunter served me well, and now I am looking forward to a one-piece Silvertip.

Have to agree with buck eye.  I shoot a Rose Oak super wild cat.  It is the only thing I shoot now.  Brandon Stahl is a superior bowyer.

Bear Kodiak.......59/60/62......if a gun was pointed at my head and I was forced to choose just one   :dunno:  ........probably a 62 right at 55#.  I'd be a happy man with that one!

Toelke Chinook, extremely fast especially with heavy arrows, smooth, stable, very, very quiet and like all Dan's bows beautifully crafted of beautiful woods. Look on  www.montanabows.com  click on "current inventory" then "traditional bows" to see some.

I forgot to mention that I have had the opportunity to shoot most other one piece recurves and my vote is still for Rose Oak. In fairness I have not shot the Arroyo from RER.

Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet.  I was told by a few guys that have been around this game a LOOONNNGG time (in other words Old Guys) that I needed to try one out.  I finally got my hands on a couple and I have to concur.

Jets are a step (or two) above any bow I've ever shot - in a lot of ways.  My father's commment was "There is something special about the Jack Howard Jet." sums it up for me.  That's pretty high praise coming from Dad.

I've had some good ones (silvertip, predator), but the one I won't ever get rid of, believe it or not, is a late '90's super kodiak. My beautiful wife got it for me as a birthday present one year just a couple years after I got into bowhunting. It's not too fast or too pretty, but it doesn't matter what I've been shooting, I can pick that thing up and it will drop arrows where I'm looking!
