Long recurves... Who makes 'em?
« on: October 09, 2011, 09:01:00 PM »
I shoot a 62" one price bow with a 30" draw now. I'm just like must of you and thinking of my next bow all the time.

Who makes one price curves in 64" or 66"?

Don Assenheimer might make a 66". Actually with a 30" draw 62-64" should be plenty. I draw 30 1/2, and shoot 60-64" bows with ease.

Wes Wallace and Blacktail both make 66" length recurves.

I own two 66" Blacktails which you can see in my signature.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

Bjorn, I had so little call for one piece curves that I have stopped building them. Kirk sure builds a nice one though and so so does wes. Thanks lots for the reccomendation.

And so does South Cox and Don Assenheimer,. Not sure if RER builds one but if they do it would be a good one.
God bless, Steve

Wes Wallace makes long recurves, as does Kirk.  I have seen a lot of Kirks bows and they are really nice.  I shoot Wallace Royals and can testify to the beauty and quality that he puts into every bow.

Give Bob Roussello At Kohanah a call. He makes recurves 1pc or 3pc at the lengths you are looking for. And he is a real good guy to deal with.

St Joe needs to be on it too. They build a great bow. I knew someone was missing and I am sure there are others . Onepiece is the problem though. A lot of good bowyers have quit building one piece bows. Oh and you could check Legends and Sheepeater bows too.

God bless you and good luck, Steve

Breaking it down further, both Wes Wallace and Blacktail come in 66" one piece and/or take down recurves.

The wait is shorter for a Wes Wallace than it is for a Blacktail. Something to consider.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

Not a one piece, but I have a Zipper that's 64", but I know if you want a one pc. that's what you should get! I like them to!
