Show Off Your 50s Style Recurves!

[wooddamon1]

I've always liked the 50s slim-riser styled bows so post 'em up with specs if ya got 'em...

Thanks!

Be careful most pics may have them in the 50's style haircuts as well(sideburns, and pompador)

someone get a Kohannah Kurve up here... they are one of the best!

This is my effort to slightly modernize (a little more curving in contour) the design of the Red Wing Hunter bows built back in the day.

Oh this is a dangerous thread. I do not yet own one but have been tempted to go with a Kohanna Kurve, or a Mahaska, or if I can find one a Saxon.  I might try to work out a deal somewhere.

[wooddamon1]

Burnsie, I was eyeballing that bow for a while...

Brianlocal3, all nice bows, I've looked at them all pretty hard for a while now. Someday!

I have a Holm-Made River Runner just about like the one that's on the Classifieds right now. 60" 46# @ 29" and it's my go to bow for the last 3 years.Light in the hand ,great performance, and a great Bowyer to deal with......not a bad price even new!

Anyone have a Pronghorn 50's to show?

I want one really bad.

This is one that my son and I just made together.  We did a build along on the bowyers bench if you want to check out his project.

Jay - this might be a perfect time to show that "new" Whiffin bow.  By the way, you make a great looking and shooting "50's" style bow!

Thanks guys, here's the Whiffen mentioned above.  I actually just completed refinishing it yesterday, I think I'm going to like it.
