Bearpaw One Piece Recurve Bow.

Does anyone have any feedback on the Bearpaw Hopi recurve bow?

At times I get requests for a one piece recurve but the price for a custom made recurve is well out of some of the prospective customer’s budget.

Rather than just turning them away I would like to offer them an alternative. Although the Hopi would appear to be reasonably priced does it represent value for the money?

Thanks for the reply Ian.

It is interesting to note that the moderately priced Bearpaw bows are made in China.

Hopefully the following review is not biased.
