50's style recurve itch

[Hawken1911]

I've always been a longbow guy, so I'm very curious; what is a 50's style recurve?  Could someone maybe post a photo of one and a modern one and maybe point out the differences?  I did pick up a vintage Bear Kodiak Magnum at a garage sale a couple years ago.  Would that be 50's style?

Kohannah Kurve(that's what I'm hunting with lately), Northern Mist Ottowa, Mahaska recurve.
50's style bows are my personal favorite.

Hawken1911, think longbow grip with recurve tips.  Light bows without the mass of later models.

Whippenstick Inferno.  Quite & fast.

For a 50's style recurve, or any of his bows for that matter.... Kens bows are tough to beat. I'd highly recommend them.  Kirk

Bill Foreman at Great Plains makes a nice one,and I think the one piece that Chris Sparks at Lewis Hollow Archery makes is considered a 50's style recurve.

Fellow knuckle draggers.  Which one would you choose with a 31" DL?

[khardrunner]

64" Kohannah Kurve. Hands down the quietest recurve I have ever shot.

I know where there's a beauty FOR SALE right now for  2-½ bills

[Easykeeper]

McCullough 59'er if you are lucky enough to find a used one in the weight you want.  A pretty long wait last I saw for a new one.

Roberston Peregrine is a really nice bow too.  I had one several years ago and stupidly sold it.

Got an old 64" 57# GN Shadow if your really itchin.......LOL

Another vote for Whisperstik.  Love my Mojo Stik at 58# AMO

[Hawken1911]

Thanks for the info guys!  I love learning something new.

[Real Buckmaster]

tolke!!! I shoot the kesral. Sold te rest of my top of the line customs

[mwosborn]

You will not find anything quieter or faster than rer retro. I love the slim design and light weight!  I also have A kota killum and a checkmate falcon - both good shooters - a bit meatier if you want a bit more weight.

My wish list includes chinook, mojostick, and holm-made rr.

Lots of nice ones out there!  Good luck.
