I want a 2 pc recurve; either a sleeve type or bow bolt.
What would you recommend AND why. Please don't recommend without a reason. thx, ~ joe
If I were to recommend one, it would be a toelke chinook or Hoots...I have owned both and they have better than average performance in a small package, great grips, and very smooth shooters. The Hoots I would give the edge to because of how forgiving it was despite its short length.
You may look at the new Wolfer by Robertson...it has a new grip that supposedly helps you naturally cant your bow.
I cannot "recommend" it as I have not shot one...but it seems to be a unique design.
Hard to beat the Toelke T/Ds. I have 2 Chinooks and ! SS. All are very well mannered, smooth quiet and fast. Workmanship is fantastic. The wait is about a month or so from date of order.
I just tested the Cari-bow T/D Tuktu and it is right up there with the Toelke bows, Great manners, fast smooth, with a touch more noise than the Toelke's.
Either wold be a great choise.+

It comes down to which bow fits you best. The one piece bows shoot just like the two piece bows do. I have had both the sleeve and the bow bolt options and both are great.
Joe we have a 51@28 56" available if you want to do a test drive on it
Black widow psr...I draw 27" but use a 60"er...the Toby grip is perfect for me, it's mild and easy to quickly locate and it's deadly quiet for me with the stock string and spider silencers, plus I shoot 3 under from a split tiller. It's forgiving and very accurate...not to mention widow quality.
That Wolfer is intriguing too me.
The Wolfer is mighty sweet shooting as are the Tolke's.
The Toelke "Chinook" is the only two piece Recurve I have personally shot. I like the grip, fit and finish is perfect as are all the Toelke bows I own.
I'm sure the "Wolfer" by the Robertson's is also a fine bow, I just do not have any personal experience.
I have to second the widow PSR the bevel lock sleeve style works very well and a psr is a fantastic bow I know with a bow bolt you may need a little beefier grip to contain and strengthen the area around the bolt..
Rocky Mountain Specialty gear has a very nice 2-pc PSR
If you don't mind 64" my vote is for the Toelke SS. Drawn a friends a few times and man was that a smooth bow. Smooth as a 21st Century Longbow (2.5#/inch) is how it felt. Super low string angle at the tips. Scott says it shoots awesome too. I'm betting it could be dubbed a 'recurve Whip' haha. Another that intrigued me is the Tuktu EX. I would think you'd get near the smoothness of the Toelke but in a smaller package if you need or want it. Both are bows on my bow bucket list.
If you like short bows... Shrew Lil Favorite or Java Man Helms Deep. Both available with Bow Bolt takedown.
