50’s Style Recurve...Which One?

[D. Key]

I plan on buying one more 50's Style Recurve as my last bow to purchasee so here's the deal...If you were to purchase your ultimate bow in a 50's Style, which bow would you buy. Money doesn't factor into the equation.  Thanks

[Alexander Traditional]

Kota Kill-Um is one that I sure want to try.

[Hoosierarcher88]

For me there is no better 50's style recurve than the great northern ghost or super ghost

You might want to check out the Mountain Monarch by Big Jim

I second the Mountain Monarch by Big Jim... I love mine!

[Trenton G.]

I love my great northern ghost!

[BAK]

I'll be ordering a Toelke Chinook.

I've had a Great Northern Ghost for many years - a very good bow.

[Ben Corbett]

I have a Black Widow PSR love it . Worth a look,mutiple grip choices,great customer service,hope this helps.

I have a 64" Kohannah Kurve on order which should be here in a couple more weeks.  Great 50s style.  Bob Rousselo has been building bows since 1986.  He presently has a wait time of only 4-6 weeks.  Good guy to deal with.

[Possum Head]

Lots of good recommendations for me Mountain Monarch came to mind first.

[Wudstix]

Big River, but John is no longer making bows.  Kota kill-Um would get my attention from experience I'm having with his D-shape longbow (PBS auction). 

[TimDougan]

Big Jim is building my Mountain Monarch as we speak can't wait. TD.

[Onehair]

That would e a Ghost. I have had many others but the Ghost is for me

[Gil Verwey]

An original '59 Kodiak.

Black Widow PSR takedown

[Coach Jones]

I really like my Holm Made Static River Runner with the Kodiak grip.  I like the best of all the 50's style bows I have had.  Others I have owned are the Toelke Chinook and 3 Kota Kill-ums.  I like the grip on the River Runner the best.

[Possum Head]

Douglas, you gonna let us know when you pull the trigger? Glad I ain't gotta make the decision! I do remember long ago salivating over a Killem.

[Petrichor]

Toelke chinook. Two reasons. 1: best recurve I've ever shot and has 1950s style. 2: less than 6 weeks from order to delivery. Nothing against other bowyers but longer waits doesn't mean better bows. Also Toelke guarantees within .5 lbs of requested draw weight.

Chinook or Holm-made...Chad makes one heck of a bow
