Title: Who Makes A 56" Recurve?
Post by: NDTerminator on February 23, 2008, 07:07:00 PM
Other than Chek Mate (I have an H56) who makes a 56" recurve, either TD or one piece?...

Jack Kempf makes take downs in that length-
Kwik Styk, Trophy Hunter and a couple of other models. I can get you his phone # if you are interested. No web page but he will send you a catalogue. Just going out after work to shoot a new one from him for a few minutes. Great value and workmanship.

Fedora makes the 560T/D in a 56" and it's a shooter.

BW makes them in either takedown or one-piece.  According to their specs, they are rated for 23-27" draw length.

Bob Lee is now offering his take-down recurve in 54 and 56" lengths.  The riser is 4" shorter than his standard riser.  It comes in either Hunter or Signature models.

I love my 56" Black Widow SA III. It can be drawn to 29"s with ease. I've also shot a 56" Morrison takedown recurve and it was really sweet. I use to own a Chek-Mate FireBird 56" takedown recurve and it was SUPER smooth to 30"s.
Don't let the 56" bows fool you. If they're built properly they are a real pleasure to shoot even at longer draws. AND, I've yet to feel any finger pinch from the bows listed or the SEVERAL other 56"ers I've owned/shot. I'm sure guys with really large hands might suffer this but I wear a size medium glove so, maybe that helps.

RER makes one in a T/D and a  54"er in a one-piece. Great bows and they are quiet due to the design and they smoke! Shawn

If the Whisperstik 56" shoots as good as the 58" does, it'll be a real winner.

Thanks guys, I had no idea there were that many 56"ers available.

Much as I love my H56 I could really use a bit bigger sight window...

Gerry Fiegel of Northwind Archery also makes an awsome 56 incher with any kind of grip you like including straight like a longbow style.

I'll second the Jerry Fiegel bows.
Great shooting little bows for sure.

56" Jack Kempf Kwyk Styks are about all I've shot for the last 12 yrs.....Super smooth,absolutely dead at release, he builds them as plain or fancy as you want, and very quick!  

No need for a bow to be any longer......
