Check out Bob Lee's inventory reduction list. A lot of "SOLD"s on there, but there's still a bunch left. Smooooooooth, quick bows. I'm pretty sure either Santa or the Easter Bunny has a longbow in the offing for me.

You said you like a quality bow. I suggest two.
The Blacktail Elite or the Fox High Sierra.
The High Sierra is a takedown, but I think Ron has a one piece version of it. He also makes one called the Breed. The Breed is a recurve with a longbow grip. I have one of his Breeds  & it's a peach. Mine is a sleeved takedown & you wouldn't know it's a takedown.

Look up SBiles on this site. He's not a sponsor yet but he makes a great recurve bow.

Thanks for the repiles guys. It looks like I have alot of good choices to try out.I even showed my wife this thread. She just gave me that look and I said my birthday is in October. HA HA. Thanks again Flint

I agree with RW re: Blacktail 1-piece. Beautiful bows!

I currently have a Widow PAX and a Rose Oak Super Wildcat. Both are fantastic bows. If you like a heavier mass bow go with the Widow. If you like lighter and Bear Super K look, the Super Wildcat fits the bill.

The wait time is much longer for the Rose Oak and you'll have a difficult time finding one on the used block.

Truthfully I wouldn't give my Martin Hunter up for anything smooth draw, quiet, and shoots where I'm looking, and the price wasn't bad, that being said might try a L/B  on for size one of these days, my brother who owns a couple Fedoras even comented that for a prodution bow that Hunter is sweet.
Now we're digging where the taters are.

One of the best deals in a one piece recurve has always been the Martin Hunter.
You cannot find a better one for the price.

Ditto that. Or Damon Howatts. And for any price very few recurves perform better than these will.

Learn, practice and pass on "leave no trace" ethics, no matter where you hunt.

I just bought a left hand  Groves Spitfire Magnum, how do these measure up against the bows listed so far? I am normally a longbow shooter. My bone cracker suggested a lighter weight bow and my wife would not let me buy a new one, so I threw out a bid on a whim and 'won' it.  If my wife doesn't kill me, I will report on it when it arrives.

Hands down, no doubt, the Blacktail recurve is the best recurve being built in the world today....kind of opinionated aren't I! haha  Well I sure know what I like and it is impossible to find fault with a Blacktail.

Another vote for the Kota Kill-um. Smooth drawing. Tim does a wonderful job finishing his bows. And economical.

A friend of mine has a 56" Whisperstik which I like a lot, but it is sensitive to form, due to it's shortness.

Another friend of mine has a Northwind Recurve which really surprised me, fast and stable.

Also, I hear good things about Fedora and Silvertips  :)

You state you like the look of BRUINs one for sale on the trad bows Bruin Huntmaster Recurve, RH, 58", 54#,$325 give it a look.

I have owned many of the bows recommended and from a shooting standpoint I think the Bruin Huntmaster or Woodsmaster or one of John McDonald, Big River Bows Kodiak/Super Kodiak  reproductions would be my choice. Of these I personally like the Bruin best.

flint kemper

I read in another post on this thread that the Bruin has a narrow limb and might be a little more prone to twist when stringing it? Any thoughts on that. I still remember reading the article in TBM years ago about Mike Steliga and like his bows then as well.

The limbs are a little more sensitive, but it isn't an issue.  I haven't had a problem.  Just use a bow stringer and shoot.

I have had no issues with this and I have had three Bruin one-piece and currently shoot a Bruin T/D.

If that bow in the classifieds was not 58" it would already be at my house. I draw 32" and with Mikes bows I can shoot a 60" bow comfortably but 58" is just too much string angle.
