Looking to place my first custom bow order and have settled in on a 50's style recurve. I have narrowed my choices down to a Mahaska recurve and  Kohannah  Kurve. For those who have shot both, what are differences in noise, speed, hand-shock, etc. Any info would be much appreciated!

Killed my first trad deer with a Kurve; still have the bow. Bob makes a great product at an affordable price. His turnaround is also quick.

I like the Kurve because of the slim grip.

Kurve... one of the finest bows I ever owned.

Never shot the Mahaska, but the Kurve is a great shooter.

I haven't owned either but I can tell you that I have been watching for a Kohannah at 45# for awhile now and you don't see them come up often. I do have a Kota that I really like. It is a 50's style and a new one is pretty reasonably priced. Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.

Had a Mahaska and my friend had a Kurve. I shoot a longbow now but if I did recurves again it would be the Kurve.

I had a Kurve but have shot both.....both great bows but I give the nod to the Kohannah!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Sounds like a one sided match-up! I was leaning toward the Kurve due to better wood choices and Fast flight capabilities but just wanted to confirm. Thanks for the help guys!

Best choice: Kurve

Worst choice: Mahaska: the worst bow I have ever owned. should have used it for starting a campfire.

They both look great bows.  Has anyone tried them in take down format?

Thanks

I can honestly say also that the biggest bad surprise I ever had was when I shot a mahaska long bow, it tried to hit me in the head with the top limb.

I was shooting a martin savannah at the time & a fellow 3d shooter wanted to try my bow so I tried his.
