best one piece recurve

[grayfeather]

Who makes the best one piece recurve with carbon ? looking for smooth and fast.AND are they really faster than a long bow.I;m shooting a 40# tomahawk  and 47# turkey creek longbow.47# is my max #, would like a 43# recurve maybe.i know it is very subjective, but some input would be nice. thank;s

I don't know about the best or fastest, because I have'nt shot them all. I am quit pleased with my Stalker that Mike Fedora made for me, though it is a 52" recurve and is plenty fast as far as I'm concerned. Give him a call, very good people to deal with, I'm sure he can come up with something that you might be looking for. Just my $.02.

Leon, go to predatorlongbows.com. Bobby makes a fine bow and the one I shot was very smooth and plenty fast.

Fedora does make the fastest recurves that I have shot

I just got a one piece Silvertip that is just incredible

I'll bite. If you do some research you will find all high end or quality bows are within 6-10 fps(roughly)of each other shooting hunting weight arrows. Quiet and accuracy is way more important than speed.

Ahem.....search function.

But since you asked, Black Widow PTF.
Next on my list.

I just ordered a St. Joe River recurve.  I love the way they shoot available in 56 to 64" and very fast.  One of the other things I like about them is they will make to grip how you want at no extra cost from low heal to high pistol grips. and they will send you sample of some of the grips they do and have you add where needed (with clay) or draw where you would like changes.  I've never known any other bow company to do that!!

Hands down BOB LEE>>>>------>mark#78...the best!!!!I just love the dang, grip!!!!.

[ermont]

OOPs just reread title. Centaurs definitely are not recurves. Sorry.

When someone asks about what is the best longbow or best recurve most of the replys are going to be the opinion of the author, They like a certain bow and claim its the best in the land, of course not having shot all the bows there is no way to say mine is the best.. wheather it is a longbow or recurve there are a few redeeming qualities that make up a good bow. lots of bows fall into this catagory by the way. In my opinion the 1st quality that must be met is the fit and feel of the bow, with out much adjusting the grip has to get you to a consistent grip every time. 2nd with out having to go overboard with string silencers the bow has to be quiet. a quiet bow is an efficient bow, and this brings us to the 3rd quality that I like and that is speed, I like a fast bow but I can not give up the first 2 qualities for a fast bow. fast bows are more accurate in that they are flat shooting and you have less guess work in the tradjectory to deal with.. some bows are very fast but noisy most of the time you wind up adding multiple string silencers to the bow and in the end slowing it down to the point where the speed factor don't apply anymore..  some bows fit well and are silent but slow and the tradectory is akin to a rainbow that also is not acceptable. so in the end we look for a good fitting bow that is quiet and as fast as we can get with out sacrificing the 1st 2 qualitys.. Such a bow does exist and it is going to be different for everybody.. So to ask what is the best bow is a question with out an answer.. Now these are the things I look for in a bow and others may rate their priorities different..
