I just made a deal on a GN Ghost recurve. I picked it up used. Hopefully I have it by next weekend. Have not shot a recurve since the mid 90's. I am really looking forward to shooting this bow.
They are among the best of the 50's style recurves, want another one someday. Post some pics when you get it.
Coach did you get it off the *********** classifieds by chance?
yes. It was actually advertised on here for while but the thread disappeared.
I just had one made by Jerry back in the early summer. I like it so much, I'm already trying to decide what combination of wood I want with the limited edition green glass on my next one.
Jerry is a great guy and a heck of a bowyer! :thumbsup:
Make sure to post pictures when you receive it.
That's a bow I've been wanting to try also.
What part of Kansas are You from Coach?
Northwest, Oberlin.
Coach, what are the specs? Hunting bow? If so, post up some pics when you tag something! Good luck.
I had a 58# @ 28", 60" Ghost for awhile. It shot great, felt great and had power to loan to other bow's that needed some. My only gripe was noise. I have a longer draw (29.5") and maybe that contributed to the noise??? I tried every silencer in the book. Rubber worked best for me. Still one heck of a hunting machine. I have since become a Bushbow guy, love them things.
I've got a 56" Ghost that I bought used from a guy on this site. Great bow but like Pearl Drums, it is rather loud. I keep thinking that I'm going to sell it but I just can't do it . . .
Take the brush buttons off---and use a wool string silencer at the 1/4 measurements---seems to work well for me. The brush buttons do not stay in one spot.
The noise thing sounds strange to me in that all the research I did it seemed that the GN were a quiet bow. That was the one thing that the owner pointed out to me, that the bow was dead quiet.
