Author Topic: Looking for a 50's style recurve (Read 847 times)

Riegel · « **on:** October 05, 2013, 10:35:00 PM »

In my search for a custom I think I have it narrowed down to a 50's style recurve. The 50's style recurves are very simple and appealing to me. I was wondering what bowyers are the "go to's" for these style recurves. I am looking to something silky smooth, quiet, and dead in the hand. Not looking to brake the bank either if all possible.

Thank you,
Josh

Mike Dunnaway of Wild Horse Creek Bows makes two such bows. Will send a PM with his contact info.

I did take a look at the killum, liked the look and the price. How do you like the killum recurve?

Fox Breed is the one I let get away and want back!

The Kota Killum is a great bow. I would still have mine but I just can't shoot narrow grips well.

Toelke just came out with a sweet looking static recurve.

A few more,

Kohanna Kurve
Saxon selkirk
Great northern super ghost

Vintage works. Or bear archery. They just re-introduced the 59. Its awesome!

Great Northern Ghosts are pretty fine 50s style recurves.

Then of course, original 50s bows are pretty fine as well. You can buy a 57 Kodiak for $250 or less and it will shoot right with any bow mentioned above.

Whisperstick Mojostick by JD Lund. I have one now I'm hooked and want one of his Voodoosticks.

Toelkes are sweet

I think the best 50's style recurve is a 1960 Kodiak...I paid 325 bucks for my last one, a very nicely refinished 64 inch

Wild Horse Creek bows are hard to beat when it comes to shooting or eye candy.Mike is also a great guy with a lot of pride in his work.

I love the bow, have a thread on here about it, picked it up in June. Easy to shoot bow. Tim had a handful at a shoot I was at and I grabbed one.

Kohannah Kurve is the best one I've shot. I liked it far better than the GN Super Ghost I had.

Chad Holme. River Runner recurve. Great bow and great price. Chad is also a sponsor.
