short take down recurves !!

[joe skipp]

I should also add that Jack makes a sweet shooting 52" Stealth T/D. I personally shoot the 60" which is smooth and fast.

The 52" would make a great bow for turkey hunting from a blind(Double Bull etc...), ground hunting, still hunting or tree stand hunting. As with all 48-52" bows, finger pinch can be a problem with longer draws. I have 2 56" bows and they are smooth to 29".

I shoot a Morrison Shawnee with Arapaho Limbs 56" bow and it draws smoothly to my 29".  Quick, quick, quick! Perfect for treestands and blinds.

Here is a link to jacks Page.
His Kwyk Styk and stealth are both good shooters. Actualy all of his bows are good shooters. I have a review on the kwyk Styk in my trad reviews at  www.peteward.com

Shieldcut,  Here are a couple of shots of my ChekMate Hunter 56".  I like the bow - it's my primary bow right now - but note that the window is short.  I shoot it 3 under with no problem but with my face and anchor, I seem to lose sight picture if I shoot it split finger.  May be something you want to try before you buy.  Steve

Fedora makes me down to 52.

Little Suckling Recurves have an ad in TBM. I don't own one yet but I shot a guy's at Cloverdale and it handle my nearly 30" draw no problem. Smooth as silk all the way back. It shot where I looked and was quiet and fast. I think the bow was 54" I'm looking into one for shooting out of tent blinds like Easton's and Double Bulls as my 60" recurve is too long geven my height even sitting(taller from the waist up than down.)

The riser on my 56" Kwyk Styk is 13.5".....great little bows!

[Huntrdfk]

Hey, one them Kwyk Styks is mine! Great bows, I don't think you could go wrong if you picked one, just don't wait as long as I did.  While it is a personal decision, Shawn, Joe and Curt are not steering you wrong.

I was in much the same boat at one time.  I have a 30" draw and was torn between the Kwyk Styk and the Timberghost.

I got the opportunity to shoot a Timberghost.  It was 54" takedown.  I was very impressed.  It was fast, quiet, stable, dead in the hand, and beautiful. I ordered one the next day.

I handled a used 56" Kempf Kwyk Styk at Denton Hill, I did't like the grip. (although if you order you could probably request the grip you want).  It was a nice bow, but I felt the Timberghost was much nicer and was cheaper.  I was glad that I ordered the Timberghost.

But, Well long story short, I canceled the Timberghost after Denton Hill since the bowyer couldn't get it to me before hunting season and bought a 60" Ancient Spirits Thunderhawk.  Now that bow is a screamer and quiet.  I love it.  I still think that some day I may make another order for a Timberghost.

The bowyer for Ridgerunner bows who makes the Timberghost is a really good guy. He goes by AR RidgeRunner  on this site.

This is the strung TimberGhost, 54" recurve limbs.


This is the medium grip on the longest of his risers.

Beachbowhunter,

Love the looks of that bow and the woods. What woods are those and what do one of those bows run?
Just awesome.

This is natural bocote and birdseye maple with black and red micarta. Kept the woods natural, no stain. I can't remember what the usual price was as I bought extra limbs. Best contact Kent for current pricing

Here is is with the lb limbs

[Shifting Shadow]

Dan Toelke makes take-down recurves in lengths from 52" to ? Call him to see what length fits your draw.

[dad]

I was just at the TRADITIONAL EXPO and Bob Lee had them there 52-56" you might want to give him a try. There not on his web sight, he just came out with them. OOPS THEY are't take down!

Norbert, Is Kent back building bows again? I contacted him last year and he had stopped for awhile.

[Deer Slayer]

Hey Norbert, What was the wait like on your TimberGhost?? That is a sweet looking little booger. I have been trying to find a truly nice shooting short takedown recurve for a while but, most of the bows I have tried either don't shoot so good, have alot of finger pinch or are just plain loud as heck!LOL

[beachbowhunter]

The wait was a few months, around 9 I think. Can't really remember. You'll need to contact Kent for the scoop. Going hog hunting in March with the longbow limb setup. Can't wait!

shield cut, theres a 56"  SAIII (Widow) in the classified right now.
