One piece recurves

[bunyan]

I shoot a three piece takedown recurve that I got when I realized that my dad's kodiak magnum was just to small for my 30inch draw.  I like the bow but realized I haven't hardly taken the thing down since I got it!  Which has me thinking it would be nice to have a one piece recurve for hunting locally and the three piece as a travel bow.  So are any of you guys shooting more modern one piece recurves?  What are some bows to look at.  I know that robertson, blacktail, blackwidow, and even Mr. LaClair make them.  And I like the simplicity of the riser in their models.  What else is out there?

RER ARROYO are great shooters. And I know that the 54" can be drawn to 29" with no problems and is very smooth. So I would think out to 30" would be ok. www.rerbows.com

If you want a super smooth shooter,thats got a high performance limb design and graceful lines I would take a hard look at Ancient Spirits Thunderhawk.I draw 30 inches and its my favorite 1 piece curve.I got the 64 inch 1.Its the lenght i would highly recommend for you.I have had alot of 1 piece curves.I am especially fond of them for their clean lines and this one is my favorite!Especially for a 30 inch draw or more.Starting price is 500$s.

Rivers Edge Recurves they are one of the top one or two one pieces out ther right now. Their Arroyo is a awesome, very quick, quiet and a dream to shoot! I shoot a 54"er and draw jsut 29"s. I would get the 58"er if ya draw 29"s or more. Shawn

I shot a Martin Dreamcatcher once and was quite impressed.

There are a whole lot of one piece recurve makers out there. If you have a grip style that suits you best I would work from there because just about everyone makes a good bow nowadays.

Thanks, guys.  I agree on the beauty of the clean lines on a one piece bow.  That's part of the draw towards one.  I'm still in the research gathering phase, so it'll be a while before I put down my deposit on one.  But I'll be looking at all these bows and more!

Check out RoseOak bows.

A few weeks ago I got one of Mark Horne's Mountain Bows that I am more impressed with each time I shoot it.  Very fast, smooth, and stable.  I have always shot longbows so I opted for the Mountain bow which is more like a longbow riser.  My mountain bow is one of the quietest bows I have shot.  If you are a recurve shooter you might prefer his Ridgerunner one piece recurve which has a little more meat in the riser and more of a recurve style grip.  Check out his website, there is no doubt Mark knows what he is doing and his workmanship is outstanding.

I second the rose oaks, there are still a few on sale in the sponsers classifieds, great deals.  Best shooting bow I ever shot.

After yesterday & shooting Vermonster's 54" Shrew, I have to question Dave's previous statement:

Martin Dreamcatcher is a hard one to beat.

Here's another vote for RER Arroyo. I just bought one last saturday. I now own 6. You will not be disappointed with an RER.

Good Luck with your search!

Here's a pic of a RER ARROYO 54". I gotta say if I was a recurve shooter this would be the one.

I have to have to agree with Mr. Cole. The Saxon Hawk I own is the best performing recurve I own. Lately I have been more into Hybred Longbows for whitetail hunting. Although if I ever get a chance to hunt for large game it would be my go to bow. The Saxon hawk recurve will cast a heavy grain arrow better than any other bow I own. It has a similiar design to a asian horsebow crossed with a modern recurve. Randy builds it with what he calls a Turkish set back handle with the belly lams under layers of glass and hardwood laminations making up the back of the grip/handle area. This design seems create energy in the power stroke of a higher poundage bow than it actually is. Comes with the price tag like many other high end bows.
