I've never had to ship a 1 pc recurve and I am haveing a hard time finding a shipping carton to ship it in safely. Do you guys have and suggestions.... Thanks, Al
Do not ship it UPS, use the United States Postal Service. Run a search on UPS and read the bad experiences others have had. Also, there are many suggestions regarding packing methods for the bow.

Go to any carpet store and get a tube that carpet comes on and cut to lenth. There free

I always use pvc pipe with caps...but were longbows...ship recurves in trangle post office boxes I use two bubble wrap the bows pull over the two boxes tape...with insurance under 17 bucks... :)
I shipped a 1pc 64" recurve and used 2 6"x6"x48" boxes(cut the 1 box down to size)alot of bubble wrap and used newspaper to fill in the box.
Jim did you get the longbow I sent you? How do you like it? I shipped this bow in pvc with caps. I know its not a one piece recurve, but close enough.
Most recurves will not fit in a PVC pipe. I use two arrow boxes taped together with lots of padding. Also, good advice above on using the USPS. I wouldn't ship anything UPS any more.
I second the two boxes unless you have a cheap doskil shotgun hard case. They cost about $29. That has done well for me.
