I've been admiring several one piece bows with longbow style risers and recurve limbs and am thinking about picking one up. Who has one and what do you think? To me they are just stunning...
Thanks,

Hello Pete take a look at Trinity Long Bows Edward Boyd is the owner and maker he has the Falcon long bow you would like shoots fast his web site is trinity long bows .com his no is 1-503-938-4558 I have his Falcon in 62 @28 50 he is a cool guy to talk to he also has a 2 pcs take down called the Rouge give Edward a call you wont be sorry :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :archer2:
also look at the Black widows. The PRS is just what your asking about. Long bow riser recurve limbs it weighs 1 3/4 lbs.. Looks good to me.
I also prefer the feel of a longbow riser. I've gone to the hybrid long bows. I currently shoot one by Don Dow. I've been looking into other options myself and the PSR is a good one. My hands just dont like the bigger recurve handles for some reason.
I like the looks of the Fox Breed.
I forgot to mention another one I like the looks of and that is the Great Plains one piece long curve.
Kota Kill um, one of the best you will shoot. Super smooth, quiet and quick.
Dan Toelke's Chinook is worth looking at, I love mine and you couldn't ask for a better guy to deal with.
Fox Breed... and ive shot about all of'em.
Great Northern Ghost is awsome. You can also get it with a straight or locator grip.
If you aren't set on buying new, searching for and finding a Saxon American Recurve would certainly fit the bill and save (quite) a few bucks. I know that I love the way mine looks and shoots.
How bout some pics guys?

one of the best grips, longbow style I have ever had is A Rampart bow by John Goshawk sp?
Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear sells them. Mine was a recurve but a tad light for me.
Great great bow and very reasonably priced. Very underrated. You should look at them
many of the 50's style recurves have a slimmer, longbow type riser, if not exactly that type of grip.
take a look at the RER Retro, as well as the Maddog Retro.
this has become my personal favorite style of bow.
FOX Breed

Great leads guys. That Fox Breed bow looks amazing! Keep those pictures coming!
I still say the 1960 Kodiak is the best 50's style recurve ever built...Bear modelled it after the 1959 Kodiak...the 60 inch is great...the 64 inch is better

I just brought an older thread back to the top in the history and collecting section...some great photos of 1960 Kodiaks
