Check out Bob Lee's inventory reduction list. A lot of "SOLD"s on there, but there's still a bunch left. Smooooooooth, quick bows. I'm pretty sure either Santa or the Easter Bunny has a longbow in the offing for me.

You said you like a quality bow. I suggest two.
The Blacktail Elite or the Fox High Sierra.
The High Sierra is a takedown, but I think Ron has a one piece version of it. He also makes one called the Breed. The Breed is a recurve with a longbow grip. I have one of his Breeds & it's a peach. Mine is a sleeved takedown & you wouldn't know it's a takedown.

Look up SBiles on this site. He's not a sponsor yet but he makes a great recurve bow.

I agree with RW re: Blacktail 1-piece. Beautiful bows!

I currently have a Widow PAX and a Rose Oak Super Wildcat. Both are fantastic bows. If you like a heavier mass bow go with the Widow. If you like lighter and Bear Super K look, the Super Wildcat fits the bill.

The wait time is much longer for the Rose Oak and you'll have a difficult time finding one on the used block.

Truthfully I wouldn't give my Martin Hunter up for anything smooth draw, quiet, and shoots where I'm looking, and the price wasn't bad, that being said might try a L/B on for size one of these days, my brother who owns a couple Fedoras even comented that for a prodution bow that Hunter is sweet.

You cannot find a better one for the price.

Ditto that. Or Damon Howatts. And for any price very few recurves perform better than these will.

I just bought a left hand Groves Spitfire Magnum, how do these measure up against the bows listed so far? I am normally a longbow shooter. My bone cracker suggested a lighter weight bow and my wife would not let me buy a new one, so I threw out a bid on a whim and 'won' it. If my wife doesn't kill me, I will report on it when it arrives.

Hands down, no doubt, the Blacktail recurve is the best recurve being built in the world today....kind of opinionated aren't I! haha Well I sure know what I like and it is impossible to find fault with a Blacktail.

Another vote for the Kota Kill-um. Smooth drawing. Tim does a wonderful job finishing his bows. And economical.

A friend of mine has a 56" Whisperstik which I like a lot, but it is sensitive to form, due to it's shortness.

Another friend of mine has a Northwind Recurve which really surprised me, fast and stable.

Also, I hear good things about Fedora and Silvertips

You state you like the look of BRUINs one for sale on the trad bows Bruin Huntmaster Recurve, RH, 58", 54#,$325 give it a look.

JCJ · « **Reply #56 on:** August 11, 2011, 06:20:00 PM »

I have owned many of the bows recommended and from a shooting standpoint I think the Bruin Huntmaster or Woodsmaster or one of John McDonald, Big River Bows Kodiak/Super Kodiak reproductions would be my choice. Of these I personally like the Bruin best.

flint kemper · « **Reply #57 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:02:00 PM »

I read in another post on this thread that the Bruin has a narrow limb and might be a little more prone to twist when stringing it? Any thoughts on that. I still remember reading the article in TBM years ago about Mike Steliga and like his bows then as well.

meathead · « **Reply #58 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:33:00 PM »

The limbs are a little more sensitive, but it isn't an issue. I haven't had a problem. Just use a bow stringer and shoot.

I have had no issues with this and I have had three Bruin one-piece and currently shoot a Bruin T/D.

If that bow in the classifieds was not 58" it would already be at my house. I draw 32" and with Mikes bows I can shoot a 60" bow comfortably but 58" is just too much string angle.
