Im looking for a nice double handed bow. I've heard that bear used to make one in the 50's, but thats about it. Anyone out there that makes them today?

Owl Bows makes a very nice sinew backed self bow with two shelfs.
Tim Miegs,But not sure if he still does or not.
Stewert
Jason Fedora was shooting one when I was at their place a few years ago.
Isn't that an oxymoron.LOL
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrious.
Here's a pic of a Jay St. Charles Thunderbird. I have 2 that are similar one is 53# and the other 58#-both are R/L.

This one is Yew-the other one is Osage.
J.D Berrys made a few if you are looking for a longbow.
I have a beautiful Leon Stewart TD slammer double shelf.
JavaMan makes a real nice Grizzly repro.

I bought a Hill Wesley Special takedown blank and made it a R/L. I'll post some pictures next week.
Give James of J D Berry a call, he's made what you are looking for and has been building bows for 30 years now. A real work of art that shoots the way a bow should shoot. Jame's phone number is (509) 299-3029. You can also see is web by going to www.berrygamecalls.com (http://www.berrygamecalls.com) once there click on links then on J D Berry bows. Good luck
It's not on my site (I can get it), but Chek-Mate makes the "Court Jester", a 64" one-piece recurve. Looks very similar to the King's Pawn.

I've got a custom "Fox" longbow I had made to shoot from either side about 12 years ago.
Okay, now the hard question -- who makes ambidextrous bows that are cut to center on both sides?
Allan
Actually, I seem to recall a longbow that had a shelf on each side cut to center or almost to center but they were offset. You simply turned the bow around on either top or bottom end to change which side of the bow to shoot from.
