I keep seeing their ads in TBM.

Always the bow with a chrono next to it showing a 200+ f/s reading.

Chris, they are being made by Tom Curtis and I lust after them every tear at the TBOF shoot. He is a very nice guy and if that e-mail does not work let me know and I will dig up his phone number.

Sorry...

You would think that with a 5th grade education I could spell "by".
   :knothead:  

Oh, "by" the way, I think this is Tom's #: 561-798-8858

I shot one a few years back and it smoked, but it had like a 6" braceheight and it was real touchy to shoot. Shawn

Tom Curtis took over from E.T Williams and renamed the buisness Brown Recluse. His current phone number is: 561-798-8858. His email is: [email protected]. I just sold an E.T Williams recurve I got about 15 years ago. It was my first trad bow, and I seriously overbowed myself. If my elbow could handle it I'd still have it, though I'm only shooting LB's these days. It's a smokin' fast bow. I want one of his Osceola 3 pc. LB's.
I've talked to him on the phone and he's a real nice guy.
Here are a few pics of it:
