In addition to those listed above Apex Predator bows and Eagle Wing Archery are making bows with belly mounted limbs.

Does Jack Kempf have a website? I never have found it...maybe it's better that I don't.

Apex Predator and Eagle Wing Archery were two that I weren't aware of. Also, Whisperstyk makes one. Are there any more?

Roman does some really nice work.

I shot the new version of this bow a few weeks ago.  It has a little different riser than some I have seen.  It also has two bolts per limb.  It is a very nice bow and high on my watch list.

The Kajika is also a good one in a curve.  I like the PCH also.

Hey Rank Bull, Kempf doesn't have a website but here is a Kwyk Styk 56" 55@28 I recieved in May from Jack.
One fine shooting bow, without a doubt the smoothest most forgiving bow I have shot in over 25 years of shooting trad bows. Have another due the first of the year. Definitely looking forward to it. I had a couple of these before that shot just as great, but either the grip or the length wasn't what I needed.

Here is the EagleWing. It has that smoothness with a shorter length beacause of the short tight curve. The statics all perfrom well and accomplish an even force draw curve and very little string pinch. They are also inheriently quiter that most recurves.  I designed this bow to have the static tip formed in a large amount by geometry which helps keep the physical limb weight down and improve speed. It works. God Bless you all and try a static. You will not regret it. Steve

Guru, that bow Shawn used to own looks to me like it's wrong-handed for you.
But it is a very nice looking bow.
Since it is the wrong hand, how much would you have to have to take it off your hands? HaHa
