I pretty sure I have NEVER seen a Lil' Suckling recurve for sale.

I have been looking to try a PSR, Hoots, and Kanati.  I have not seen any of them in the length, and weight I want for a while now.

I thought of a couple more.......Howatt Hi-Speed or a Martin Mamba in low 40#'s. You see a few in the 50#'s but rare to see in the 40's. Not that many Ben Pearsons either.......
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Tom Kelley....   I  bought a Tom Kelley bow recently from a TG'er.   It's about 50 or 52" long...uses a 48" string.  Had never heard of Kelley before and still don't know much about him.

That little bow blew me completely away.....52# @ 28" and it shoots like a rifle.   I wanted a short bow for ground hunting in my Ghillie and had no idea that I'd like that bow so much.

Only a few of Dave Guthrie's Appalation bows show up over the years. The Savage River takedown recurve was the quietest bow I've ever shot. Got my first trad kill with a cocobolo risered one....

Jim Belcher bows or Kota takedowns.  I own both and will probably not part with them.
