Has to be the 1962 Kodiak-although others will have their favs as well; 1962 Kodiaks were about as good as it got. Mine are not for sale.

I like the way the old redwing hunters cast an arrow.

I have an Herters Sitka 62" 50@28, puts them out pretty quick.

I've shot Groves for over 30 years and think that they were never marketed properly but they are great shooters. The 56" Magnum was the best shooter, IMO, but with a 29" draw it could be a problem. Before the Groves I had a Red Wing Hunter....great bow in its day.

Bear Super Kodiak or Bear magnesium-risered TD.

Can't go wrong with a good ole' Grizzly. The older Kodiaks ('65 back) are real thumpers if they are in your $$ range.

I really like the Damon Howatt Hunters as well. They are hammers.

Super Diablo, Martin Hi-Speed, Groves, Martin Hunter, Browning Wasp was pretty quick. Mambas are also very quick, Martin Sabre was one of fastest production bows made, Dan Quillan Canebrake and Patriot.. Theres a bunch of them out there that will hold their own.In all honesty none of the Bear bows Ive owned were all that quick but they were very, very quiet and easy to shoot.

Groves Spitfire magnum,Damon Howatt Super Diablo and Kodiak Hunters early 60's .Have all 3 and they are great shooters!

Had an old Red Wing Hunter (not AMF, Headski)55#. It really had some punch!

My Groves screams...and my 1961 Kodiak is a thumper...very different then the late 50's...the length is the same, the limb design similar, but the 1961/62 riser is much longer.

Both great shooters that really deliver an arrow.

Groves first and then I'd rate the Pearson Marauder T/D second.

I shot an old Savage Death Master (i believe was the name) it was a rocket. I've had a couple canebreaks that shot real hard.
To your 2nd question, I don't have one for sale.

I shot an aluminum handled Groves takedown once and it was a very impressive bow.

Tice & watts Recurve and Redwing Hunter, were two of the fastest 'curves ever made!
