Hey Gang....Are there any 64"recurve bowyers out there ? Looking for suggestions/recommendations..
Thanks

Blacktails are hard to beat, Trinity Longbows can make you a hybid that will make you drool in that length.
Brian will at tall tines archery give him a shout
Bear Archery--B riser and #3 limbs will make a 64" curve. Excellent bow.
Bear B riser with #3 limbs.
Look at Sarrels Archery! Bob has a couple different models, and he is a sponsor too!
Hope and Faith 2014 are Sarrels bows (although they are longbows and not recurves).

Dan Toelke's super static is 64", I believe. Black Widow makes a 64" takedown...Mike
Dryad makes some very very nice ones! His grip is as good as I've ever held! And they just happen to be on a real good sale starting tomorrow I think.
Toelke 64 super static is my all time favorite. Stalker stickbows is another good one

The bowyer for this nearly 55 year old masterpiece is likely not building bows any more...still they left their work behind...you might convince a modern day bowyer to build a similar bow but it would not be inexpensive...1960 Bear Kodiak Deluxe

If you can live with a 63 inch bow take a look at Brandon Stahl's Rose Oak Creations bows

Palmer makes a smooth and fast 64" recurve.
Thats a PURDY one SteveO
There is always Schafers. Dave makes a great 64" t/d recurve.
We build a 64" . We would be happy to set you up with a test drive. www.stjoeriverbows.com (http://www.stjoeriverbows.com)
I have a 64" Schafer that is fantastic. Buttery smooth and pretty good cast.
Rose Oaks or Blacktails is my vote they are about the smoothest bows I have. Purty as well.
Look at our website and we have a Facebook page that is updated daily. We also launched our $50. discount for Christmas until Dec.31,2014. If we can help you let us know.

Check out Bigfoot Bows new ILF 64 in bow. There is a thread going on the Sasquatch ILF right now. It will be a real winner designed after a well proven model. It is a high performance static limb combined with a newly designed riser incorporating super high density ironwood and phenolic.
God bless, Steve
Most of the reputable ones build recurves that long in at least one configuration. I like Wes Wallace, have two on order now in that length. He even builds them longer, and so does Blacktail. Any ILF riser of 19" or more will make a bow that long or longer with the correct limbs.
I love my 64" Black Widow PMA.
St Charles Thunderbird, 63". Fantastic shooting bow, very forgiving.
Look at the Fedora bows, 64" and 68"
These ILF set ups come in 64" with a 21" Riser.

Or perhaps A Sasquatch bolt down may tickle your fancy... These come in the SS Static tip model, or the semi static.

I've had the pleasure to shoot a few different 64" recurves...and comparing the BW PMA....and the Toelke SS static is like comparing apples and oranges- at least in my opinion- a totally different feel both good, just different.
That SS is for sure the quietest recurve I've owned....
Use to own a 64" Wes Wallace - nice bow!.
From the posts above, it looks like you have plenty of options.
Raptor archery has a blacktail recurve, 64" 55@28 like New for 500 bucks
Wes Wallace mentor....such a nice bow. Shoots straight and pulls super smooth all the way to my 31.5 inch draw. 51@28 and makes 62@31.5
Think there is a guy in Ohio that's likely been building 64'' recurves longer than all mentioned combined. Don Assiemhimer(sp)
Brackenbury. Call Bill, he'll make you a dandy. Here is an original I picked up here from the classifieds...
