50's style recurve itch

[moleman]

Im a die hard Hill style fan but as of late ive been getting the itch for a recurve.
Call me fussy, but the only ones that really peak my interest, are the 50's styles.
Other than Great Northern, who's building this style?

[Hopewell Tom]

Tolke Chinook looks pretty good. Don't have one, but Tolkes have a great rep. They're a Sponsor - Montana Bows.

Might look into a Kohannah Curve or RER Retro...    I love longbows for hunting, still have a place in my heart for recurves......

Wild Horse Creek Bows makes a 54" and a 60" in a 50's style recurve.  Great bows!

[TSHOOTER]

Mike @ Maddog Archery builds a 50's style recurve.  Sponser and a great guy to work with too!

There is a nice Holm Made River Runner for sale in the classifieds.  I have one with a Cocobolo/Osage riser and curly Anigre veneers.  True work of art and really zips an arrow!

The River Runner is a fantastic bow, I also just got a Kota Killum recurve that's darn nice! The G.N. Ghost is a nice one also. I love a longbow also but those 50's style curves just call to my roots!

I've about had them all.  Toelke Chinook, McCullough 59er, and if you can find one a Robertson Peregrine are the pick of the litter in my eyes.

Lot of good suggestions, one more. Bear is reintroducing the 59 Kodiak in 60"amo. It must have been a good idea because they aren't keeping up with the orders! Good for them.

[moleman]

With all these great suggestions, this itch is gonna be hard to scratch.

Check out the Java Man Duo Flex....one of my new favorites.

Hate those dang itchs!  They get worse this time of year!!!

[bartcanoe]

I own both the Mad Dog recurve and the Holm-Made River Runner.  Both of them are great bows, and you can't go wrong with either one.

I had a Fox Breed that I would still own had it been made for a little shorter draw. I have a Reynolds Ramhorn that is a very sweet little bow if you can find one used. I don't think they are made anymore.

[Jim Wright]

You will be hard-pressed to find a better one than the Toelke Chinook. Exceptionally quick, well mannered and like all Toelkes QUIET!

[Panzer]

I have always wanted to shoot a Kota "Kill-um."

[Lippe]

I don't know that it's a true 50's recurve, but Robert Lutkenhaus makes a really nice recurve. Calls it the Bearcat. predatorlongbows.com

Kohanna Kurve

I had a Super Ghost and I would take the Kurve any day.

Another vote for the Toelke Chinook. Not a sound and dead in the hand.
