50's style recurves. Makes and models to consider?
« on: August 03, 2014, 04:50:00 PM »
I think I need another 50's style recurve as I shoot better with a low wrist grip.  Had a Great Plains Long Curve years ago but sold it.

Looking for suggestions of bowyers that are making this style bow.   Model names appreciated.

Likes, dislikes, and preferences appreciated too.

I just want to consider all options!

Thank you, Skychief.

Maddog Recurve.  Mike makes a great bow.

Fox Breed... I have had 2 and they were both fantastic shooters!!! (Not making the same mistake twice, so I'm hanging on to the second one.)

Toelke Chinook. I've tried most all of them, best I've found.

I agree with Biathlonman, The Chinook was my favorite out of all that I've had. I also liked the Black Widow PSR.  The Great Northern Super Ghost was very smooth and fast. I had a Kahanna Kurv, but thought it lobbed arrows, although others have a more favorable opinion.

Someone else posted a similar thread recently.

In no particular order:

Java Man Duoflex
Fox Breed
Leon Stewart 1pc recurve
Whisperstik Mojostik
Toelke Chinook or Toelke 64" SS
Holm-made River Runner
Black Widow PSR
Great Northern Ghost
Mad Dog Archery
Kota Killum
Seven Lakes "No Name"
Mahaska recurve

I'm sure I'm forgetting some

If I had to take my pick I'd go with either the Java Man, Stewart, Fox, Holm-made, or Toelkes.

I've shot a few of them but the Bear 59r (new production) takes the cake for me.
 I love it

I've owned quite a few of the top 50s style recurves made and my St Charles Thunderbird and Great Northern Ghost are as good as they come.If I can figure out how to post pics from my iPhone I will.

Also consider the Acadian Woods one-piece carbon reflex recurve and a Lone Wolf Kayapo, if you can find one.

I've had the Great Northern Ghost and Super Ghost and found them to be excellent. It really gives you the longbow experience with the narrow limbs.

I love my St. Joe River recurve!!! They have the old school lines and shoot better than any bow I've ever shot.  Everything custom made just for you, and Great people to work with!!
