Been thinking about a one piece version of my g3ss recurve for quite a while and finally have the first bow off my new form. This ones a 58" with myrtle riser and actionboo cores. Close to the same profile as my three piece takedown with about 1/2" less deflex in the riser, limb profile is the same. Will also be doing a 2 piece carbon/glass socket style TD.

You do a very nice job great looking. I bet it's a shooter also. Don't wear out all the bullseyes practicing save some for 3D and hunting.

Outstanding work as always, Kent! Really looks like an awesome bow.

I am curious, though: are you still planning on getting back to making hybrid limbs for your takedown or are you just going to stick with the new recurve design for a while?

Hey Tony
I've had several people asking about hybrid limbs for the TD. I want to redesign my form a little first and just haven't had time. Time or lack of it is my biggest problem right now.

I always get excited to view your threads Kent !!!  I have never seen a ugly bow produced by you.


That is another beauty!!!   

That is a nice looking rig there. So tell me what is the theory behind the big hooks. And do you need the carbon to keep them stable? I assume there is a performance gain ??

Nice Bow.

Yes there's a gain in performance, also has a different feel in the draw, gains weight early then over the last few inches gains around 1# per inch. You do have to use carbon to stabilize the limbs.

Believe me, I understand. Time seems to be speeding up with each passing day... Well, as far as I'm concerned, you have plenty of time before I can get another bow anyway, so no rush. Lol. But I will be keeping a close eye out for when you get them back on the market. Then I'll have to get both sets of limbs...

Was most fortunate to spend some quality time with Kent's new creation this past Saturday. Will provide an abbreviated review since I typically prefer run a thousand arrows thru a bow before more definitively commenting.

The new design is a looker yet has far more to offer than aesthetics and excellent craftsmanship.

The recent G3SS design is a stellar design. Both vertical, rotational stability and speed are on par with the world's best as attested from Frances 2018 in-depth bow report.

Note: have been shooting the TimberGhost G3SS design for two seasons and have been exceedingly pleased.
1.   I have struggled with my desired hunting range competency when shooting short bows. I can shoot Kent's short bow competently out to 40 yards. It has not been tested beyond that. Note: A 60" G3SS TimberGhost, when strung, is virtually the identical length of typically strung 56" recurve.

2.   The aggressive static tip design has good manners and accompanies me to the field with optimum confidence. Not all aggressive static tips are well behaved.

3.   The previous G3SS design was smooth however this new limb design is noticeably smoother and projects that let off feeling when approaching full draw.

4.   The new limb design is discernably quicker. Have ascertained that going 5#'s lighter would yield the archer the same performance for the vast majority of bows out there that have a 5# higher draw weight.

Much R&D investment into increasing torsional and vertical stability has been levied over the years by the world's leading limb designers. How Kent was able to pull this off without the access to more advanced technologies is beyond me. Is there a possible 6th sense in bow design creativity?

This new design has most desirable characteristics....

Thanks for the review Scott, hopefully you'll be able to put a lot more arrows through one in the near future.

Very nice!

Hi Kent,
Outstanding work!!
I really enjoy my G3ss since last september. A 58'' also (13'' riser with short limbs) which gives me a pack of punch at my 29'' draw
This one piece is really a beauty, be sure that the order will go as soon as your TD system will be available!
Do you also use a piece of G10 in the riser, even that it seems not visible?

Thanks! This bow has a 1/4" g10 I beam running up through the sight window so it's not visible. Can also do a 3/4" i-beam or solid g10 for more mass weight if needed. This bow with myrtle and 1/4" I-beam is ultra-light, only weighs 1.38#, which some backcountry backpackers like.

I have always been a longbow guy, but I really love the look of that one piece bow. There is just something about the strung profile of a super recurve that I find very appealing to my eye.  I like the three piece and now that I have seen this, i really love the one piece as well.

Nicely done...

God bless,

Well, I love the looks of this bow and the way the limbs flow but I have to say I'm not a fan of the sharp high wrist grip.  Just me.

That beauty is what dreams are made of, mine anyway

Dang Kent! What a beauty!!!!
