Title: 3-piece McCullough 59er
Post by: NYRON on January 08, 2009, 10:32:00 AM
Yea, I wish!

I have a one-piece John McCullough 59er recuve that is one of the best shooting bows I have ever laid my hands on. I've owned it for about 7 years and always find myself coming back to it no matter how many other bows hang from my pegs.

That said, I travel a lot these days and have worked out a convenient system for putting two 3-piece take downs in the bottom of a large roller duffle bag.

So, here's my question. Who makes a 3-piece TD that is most similar in geometry, grip shape, and shooting manners to John's 59er?

I could be wrong, but I think I read someplace that Pedator bows were inspired by Bear bows. In fact I think they made limbs for the take downs for a bit. Maybe check out their site to see if its a way for you to go.

Rer.  Kohannah just came out with a deflexed riser 3 peice longbow and he may be making recurve limbs for it real soon.  The longbow is sweet.

You can always get the 59er in a 2 piece.
