Ive been looking at cascades range of take down recurves and and wondering if anybody can give me some feed back on what they are like?

cch

Are you looking for a short bow? Steve specializes in short recurves and now longbows. I always recommend the 52" recurve because I think it is a nice shooting bow in a super compact size. It can handle draws up to 30" and is very accurate. If you like the longer bows I would go with the 56" model. It is a little faster than the 52" but everything else is the same. Steve now has a 56" longbow that shoots really good but it is a one piece. You can't go wrong with a Cascade no matter what model you choose.

I had a 52" Golden Hawk Magnum, nice bow, very smooth and I have a 29" draw,That's one I should have never traded off.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

He does a nice job on the finish.

52 bow

Love all of Steves Cascade bow.Have over 100 kills and one half [latest] have been with his bows ranging from 64" to the sweet 52 mag' my favorite.

Blackhawk

CCH is right on...the 52" has got to be the premier short takedown recurve available with no stacking for archers with the long draw.

I love mine. I have the 52" Nighthawk and (for me) consider it to be the best hunting bow out there. I just ordered his new 56" long bow and cant wait to try it!

I have a 52" Nighthawk Magnum and it is a great bow. It has taken lots of critters. Yew limbs and very smooth, my draw use to be 29 1/2 but has shortened over the years. I have had my Mag since 1991.

Yeah I really like the fact they offer Yew limb.

I was looking at getting something around 58"/60", what do you think about these bows(Night Hawk, Whitetail Hawk and Super black Hawk) in particular what is the grip size like as I have a small hand?

cch

Ari, The grips on Steve's bows are great. When you order one from him just let him know you have a small hand and I am sure he will make a perfect fit for you.  I think you would be surprised how good that 56" recurve shoots. Talk with Steve he will get you set up.

Ari

What is the wait time on a cascade like?

Thanks for all the advice so far.  :)

Jesse Minish

Ari, Steve told me 60 to 90 days for my longbow.

cch

Ari, Talk to Steve he sometimes has bows in stock. He just might have what you are looking for.

Ari:  I have one of Steve's Nighthawk's in a 56" length.  I have a 30" draw and I have no problem  shooting it.  It's great in pop up blinds and tree stands.  I like the solid phenolic riser in the Nighthawk model, adds some weight, which I like.  R.W.

I just bought a 90's vintage Golden Hawk Mag w/cocbola riser and osage limbs in great shape with the Delta quiver and I love it.  No stacking and super smooth.  And a sweet price to boot!!

buckster

If anyone has any Cascades in 52-54" length in low-mid 50's lbs. range please holler.  Great little bows.

What ever happened to Steve and cascade bows?

Kelly

He lost the bowyer who made the limbs and was not able to find a suitable bowyer to make the limbs so he was not able to continue his business.

Have had lots of these bows over the years, and would still have them if I could have lightweight limbs made.

Yours for better bowhunting, Kelly

What a shame that the limbs can't be duplicated,who would have thought?
Didn't he also make a one piece bow?
Can a limb be reduced in weight by shaveing it down?
Do the limbs ever come up for sale every now and then on the used bow classifieds?
I know this is a older post  but what are the super blackhawks worth in 2021 if in excellent condition?
There has got to be lots of the old bows still being used.
What other bow would you say was just as good or better than a cascade super blackhawk for comparison? Great plains archery?
