I've had the same itch lately, must be going around.  I love my mild R/D longbows, but I've been wanting to pick up a couple '50s curves as well.

I've shot quite a few of them over the years ,the best ,in my opinion is the Saxon Selkirk,remarkable workmanship and unreal performance.My only problem now is its a bit heavy for me at 59#.

Of course there's always the used bow route. I picked up a nice '56 Kodiak dual shelf from a fellow Trad Ganger.

It's is a real joy to shoot. Plus, I can shoot half a dozen right handed and then do it again left handed. Mr F Bear seems to have had a pretty good idea of what works.

I've got an EB Holcomb 59er that shoots great and you can't beat its beauty. If not him then a McCullough 59er.

Toelke Chinook again, McCollough 59er, Great Northern Super Ghost all are at the top of my list.  The Chinook and the 59er draw pretty much the same.  The 59er has a different grip style but otherwise they are  pretty similar.
