Are you looking for a short bow? Steve specializes in short recurves and now longbows. I always recommend the 52" recurve because I think it is a nice shooting bow in a super compact size. It can handle draws up to 30" and is very accurate. If you like the longer bows I would go with the 56" model. It is a little faster than the 52" but everything else is the same. Steve now has a 56" longbow that shoots really good but it is a one piece. You can't go wrong with a Cascade no matter what model you choose.

I had a 52" Golden Hawk Magnum, nice bow, very smooth and I have a 29" draw,That's one I should have never traded off.

CCH is right on...the 52" has got to be the premier short takedown recurve available with no stacking for archers with the long draw.

I love mine. I have the 52" Nighthawk and (for me) consider it to be the best hunting bow out there. I just ordered his new 56" long bow and cant wait to try it!

I have a 52" Nighthawk Magnum and it is a great bow. It has taken lots of critters. Yew limbs and very smooth, my draw use to be 29 1/2 but has shortened over the years. I have had my Mag since 1991.

Yeah I really like the fact they offer Yew limb.
I was looking at getting something around 58"/60", what do you think about these bows(Night Hawk, Whitetail Hawk and Super black Hawk) in particular what is the grip size like as I have a small hand?

Ari, The grips on Steve's bows are great. When you order one from him just let him know you have a small hand and I am sure he will make a perfect fit for you. I think you would be surprised how good that 56" recurve shoots. Talk with Steve he will get you set up.

Ari, Talk to Steve he sometimes has bows in stock. He just might have what you are looking for.

Ari: I have one of Steve's Nighthawk's in a 56" length. I have a 30" draw and I have no problem shooting it. It's great in pop up blinds and tree stands. I like the solid phenolic riser in the Nighthawk model, adds some weight, which I like. R.W.

I just bought a 90's vintage Golden Hawk Mag w/cocbola riser and osage limbs in great shape with the Delta quiver and I love it. No stacking and super smooth. And a sweet price to boot!!

If anyone has any Cascades in 52-54" length in low-mid 50's lbs. range please holler. Great little bows.

He lost the bowyer who made the limbs and was not able to find a suitable bowyer to make the limbs so he was not able to continue his business.
Have had lots of these bows over the years, and would still have them if I could have lightweight limbs made.

What a shame that the limbs can't be duplicated,who would have thought?
Didn't he also make a one piece bow?
Can a limb be reduced in weight by shaveing it down?
Do the limbs ever come up for sale every now and then on the used bow classifieds?
I know this is a older post but what are the super blackhawks worth in 2021 if in excellent condition?
There has got to be lots of the old bows still being used.
What other bow would you say was just as good or better than a cascade super blackhawk for comparison? Great plains archery?
