Title: who makes a 52" recurve
Post by: whitebuffalo on December 13, 2006, 08:19:00 PM
Just curious to some 52" recurves besides a bear. I have a 52" Kodiak Mag I would like to retire from hunting and get something a little newer for the feild.Not saying she wouldn't ever make it to the feild.   :goldtooth:  thought about making my own but between my family, day job and my bussiness I'm all tied up for a long time.

Look in the sponsor classifieds. One of the Bakers is making that size bow or close to it now.

Black Widow PSR and Lone Wolf Banshee are the class of the field.  I draw 30" every time and like shooting both of those 52's.  LF

I didn't think that BW offered the PSR in anything shorter than 54"? Will they custom make a 52"er?

Chek-Mate makes a 52" 1-piece similar to the Kodiak Mag, called the Raven.  I have one in stock, 52@28, red elm limbs, bubinga/maple riser.  You can see pictures of them on my site,  www.recurves.com (http://www.recurves.com)  .

Gorr is Cascade..I have 2 Golden Hawk Magnums and neither are speedsters, but for their length are VERY stable.  One of the two (the lighter poundage one) was my main hunting bow this season.

I was going to say Fedora aswell. I have never shot one but I was on there site last night looking at that very 52" bow. It looks very nice and has sparked my interest. I beleive Shrew makes a 52" but I'm not for certain.

Gene's Viper is a great bow, you can contact him at G&L archery page here:   Mantis (http://www.tradbowgeorgia.com/images/Mantis.jpg)  

For the money, if you can find a Martin/Nirk Rebel...I think these are very cool little 52" bows, always looking for a good used one myself.

I'd check out Fedora. I have a 54" on order now and I cannot wait to get it.

You really need to take a closer look at Bear Paws bows by Neil Jacobson...his Lite Speed TD Recurves come in 52", I have one and it shoots great and is a looker to boot.

The Jeffery MityMag is a 52 inch that is absolutely top line. It can be had with many options, draws very smoothe with no stack, at least none to just over 29 inches.

I have a 52" Fedora and like it but for some reason I need to put my nock over an inch above center to get it to shoot for me.  I shoot three under so maybe this has something to do with it...I don't know.

It seems that there are a lot of us that apreciate short bows. They make those blinds seem 8 foot square.
  Another place not talked about much for using shorties is for Rabbit hunting in the willows.

Guys, you all have some really nice looking bows.  :saywhat:  


I love using my short bow for bunning hunting and getting through the tough spots. I used it deer hunting this year and really enjoyed it and I'd like to get a 50# for the next deer season

I went by Bob Lee's place last week and shot his new one piece hunter. It was either 52 or 54 inch. Sweet shooter and realy smokes an arrow.
It is a neat little bow, for sure.

I like the G&L Viper Recurve.

The link for the website given didn't work.

What kind of price range are these bows?

Thanks, Robert

Check out Chads(LBR) they are a nice bow. I owned two of them, I just shoot bows 56"s or longer best. Jack Kempf makes a hell of a bow as well, I shoot his bows pretty much all the time. Shawn
