Hit-or-Miss

With all the hybrid longbow / recurves out there, I'm wondering if anyone makes a TD recurve very similar, if not identical, to the old Pearson archery Bushmaster of the late fifties / early 60's. 66" long, dished out longbow style grip, centershot and recurved limbs. Anyone making a copy of this classic design?

  • Gordy Morey 2pc. 68" R/D 55# @ 28"
  • Hoyt Pro Medalist, 70" 42# @ 28" (1963)
  • Bear Tamerlane 66" 30# @ 28" (1966)- for my better half
  • Bear Kodiak 60" 47# @ 28"(1965)

I really like the look of the old Bushmaster, but I would prefer something new, fresh off the press as opposed to something held together with 55+ year old glue and possibly stored in a hot attic or barn.

It's not 66", but were you thinking something like this? I believe he can also make them 2 piece. I'm looking into buying one of these next year.

There are only a couple of people that I know of making offset risers-Chastain and Sauk Trail.  I put my 66" Stotler Medalist recurve (the only long recurve I have) next to my 66" Bushmaster recurve and the profile is similar but noticably different.  The Bushmaster has a slight locator style grip-not sure if anyone makes that style riser on a recurve.  A few make a straight grip on their recurve, maybe the locator grip is an option.  There aren't many bowyers making 66" recurves either.
