I've sold a bunch of my bows lately... I've kept 4 of my favorites (2 Shawnees and 2 MOABS).  So, I've got my longbows covered...  Been kinda going back to my roots and looking at recurves...  There are a few that I've owned that really stuck out.  One is a Black Widow SA/PSA, and recently bought a PSA II, 58", 64# @ 28" (70# @ 30").  Great price, 2 years old, great shape.  Like meeting an old friend to shoot...  Sent that riser to Montana to get the grip checkered and side quiver inserts installed.  

Now, the other recurves I've liked were the DAS, and the Kwyk Styk.  The Kwyk Styk I had was a 60" and was almost to smooth.  Still thinking about the DAS, but can't afford it right now since I made a pass through the classifieds this afternoon...    ;)  

Found this one sitting there for a full 20 minutes!  Less then a minute later I'd voiced my wanting of the bow with a "I'll take it" post followed by a PM to the seller.  2 years old, 58", 55# @ 28" (60# or so at 30"), Zebrawood and Charcoal dymondwood riser with a stippled grip, moose tips and thumb rest with Zebra veneers front and back.  Looks to be in great shape, and is a looker!

It is the one in the back of the first picture here...

Nice buy Jeff. Congrats on the purchase.
If I had not been at WORK, I would have tried to get an "I DO" posted up. Should be a nice bow. Enjoy it.

Congrats on the new "Styk" bud!

Most like to brace between 7 1/2 - 8"...I like 7 3/4" for both of mine.

I'll be getting a hold of you later this week...sorry for the delay    :knothead:

Throw a good TS-1 FF string on there from Tony Cochrane...both my Stealth and sons Longbow from Jack shoot best at 7 1/4" brace. I wouldn't go below 7" but play around to find that sweet spot.
