Looking for a 50's style recurve

[Boneyard Bowhunter]

Look at the new Bear Kodiak 59

[Tom1954]

I have a Kohanna Kurve and I love it.  It's the only bow of that style that I've shot, so I can't say whether it's better or worse than any other.  But I certainly do enjoy shooting it.  Bought it off a fine gentleman here on TradGang, in fact.

Ive had a Kohanna Kurve, a GN super Ghost, a Toelke Chinook, and a BW PSR.  They wee all great shooters, you wont go wrong with either.  They're all decent priced, well, the PSR can be if you pick one up used. I was surprized by how much I liked the Super ghost, and the Chinook was probably the better shooter out of the four.

I have a couple Mojostiks,56".They are smooth,easy to shoot and very quiet.

I also have a Vintage Works 59 replica but generally when people ask about a '50's style recurve,they aren't asking about that type bow.

There is a good-looking McCullough 59er for sale on TradGang right now.  McCullough makes a heck of a bow.

this is also my favorite type of bow. you should look hard at the RER Retro. i love mine.

i also have a really short Sheepeater Spirit that shoots great too.

i looked hard at the Fox Breed, Kota Killum,, Kohanna Kurve and Maddog Retro as well.

I have seriously tried hard to own every 50s style recurve ever made over the years.Thier are many excellant choices no doubt.

This 2 PC. Whippenstick Inferno I shoot is right at the top of the list for me.It only comes in 62 inch length though.

Take a look at it along with some if these other fine choices.

St Joe River Bows.  I love my 2piece recurve that they made for me a couple of years ago.  I like you am a fan of the 50's style simplicity of bow.

[Tradhunt]

Love my Fox Breed. I'd like to pick up another one  but a 2pc version. I'll get one hopefully within the next few months but I'm going to order a Royal Crown and Maverick first.

Those are my favorite style of bow. I really like the Kohannah Kurve and I have a custom Northern Mist Ottawa that is just awesome. Fast, smooth draw, and dead quiet.

I have a Toelke Chinook and love it

[FerretWYO]

Herb Mealand of pronghorn is making them again.

[Lamey]

some great bows mentioned,  the Fox Breed and Toelke Classic Chinook are the 2 I would focus on.

[hedgerowhuntr]

Maddog - Retro Recurve    one of the quietest, fastest bows I've every shot!

My Kota-killum, can't go wrong.  [/url] [/IMG]

Ed Holcomb 59 replica!.

The new bear and vintage works are nice,, but the craftsmanship of Ed Holcomb is second to none! A performer too!

I like the Bear Super Grizzly great bow with little to no wait and very quick nice bow.

Mike Dunnaway of Wild Horse Creek bows builds two models.  My bro just ordered one and I ordered his 60" Kestrel.  He makes the prettiest performing longbows and 50s recurves I have shot.  His force draw charts are amazing.
