Bradda Lyle, das some nice bows. How much was the take down? How long take to make it? Can get in higher poundage, 70-90 lbs.? I going on a trip for clear my head for a while n I don't have all my stick bows with me, but when I get back I'll take a few pics n post them, I think you seen most of them already tho.

Yeah Cory post ur sticks, always liked the Widow's but out of my price range. the TD took like 3 month to make he live only 20 minutes away. Dis Bowyer (www.worldclassbows.com) well known around the world get choke guys ordering from Germany and Italy. I lucked out he wen raise the prices. but score for 7bills now stay 8 as of today. Just like his work and wen dis guy not building his bow he stay hunting. #55 is all can handle, was thinkin later on can get limbs for #60, but for ow #55 shooting comfortably. Yeah post'em. Have one good one on ur trip, hunting trip or holoholo.

Aloha!

Both. I send you pix of my trip to your phone as I roam.

Dayum Lyle, those some sweet looking shooters. I gotta get me a takedown like that for travel. I don't have any custom sticks yet but I have three vintage Howatt recurves that I love.

Braddah Cory, shoots send the pics on the phone, video's to if can. Upfront, yeah can't go wrong with the TD, safe for travel, just breakem down and put in suitcase. Lets C the 3. And the rest of the braddahs lets c the bows, compound and all.

Aloha, Lyle

Howzit Guys,
Here's a pic of my sticks....no takedowns, just recurves and a self made osage/deer leg sinew bow and some all from scratch cedar shaft turkey fletched stone knapped head arrows. (still gotta whack a deer with the primitive set up, missed one doe at 20 yards a few years back with the entire homemade rig. Gotta try again. The long recurve is 37# and I shot my first buck with it in 1978 as a kid.
A lot of cool memories in these sticks. Grew up in the midwest cutting my teeth on whitetails, rabbits and squirrels. I used recurves, then compounds then recurves then compounds, so went back and forth a few times. It just made me feel guilty now to pull em all out and know that I have been using the compounds for years. Up here in AK I need the longer range I can shoot with the wheel bows. With compounds I can hit well out to 75 yards but cannot dream of hitting well past 30 yards with the recurves because I found it requires much more practice.
Gotta love the stick bows though. I miss em.
Alohaz,
AK Andy
Here's my collection of sticks:

Here is two of my Howatts, 55# Mamba and 40# Hi-Speed. The Mamba is my go to killer, but I did harvest a pig the other day with the Hi-Speed ... and one I took with my phone last night...

Sup AK like the sticks and the primitive arrowheads. Upfront, that's some killah sticks and get plenty action. Keep pounding them hogZ with the Stick. ALOHA!!

Ah... Lyle, you went and did it now! you stoked my fire to get a takedown recurve so I just dropped a nickel on a very nice koa and ebony RER. I will post some pics after I get it in a few days.

AULRIGHT!!!!! Stoke to cEM. Postem ASAP! Koa would be solid. Being made in HI? Glad to light the Fire, but really all Cory V. fault cuz I caught the TD stick bug from him.

Just wondering what style you guys shooting: Instinctive, Gap, Snap, Pins, etc... as for me, more instinctive.

That's funny you mention that because I was just thinking about it this morning. I guess you could say I shoot instinctive gap because I shoot focused on a spot instinctively but I do see the arrow in my periferal vision. I think that is because I shoot three under and it brings the arrow up closer to my eye. Sometimes I try to shoot split because I like the reduction in noise but I end up pinching the nock and it just doesn't feel natural to me.
I hold and aim, I could never get the hang of snap shooting, but if I did, I could shoot a much heavier weight.
All my recurves I shoot off the shelf.
