There are several great bowyers right here in TX! Sarrels Archery, Primal Tech Bows, Bob Lee Bows, just to name a few. You couldn’t go wrong with any of the above. My advice would be to make a few road trips to some bowyers shops, try some recurved out, and pick the one you like the best.
As far as one piece vs takedown, it’s all a matter of personal preference.

I like the take downs due to the physical bow weight.
All of Bisch’s suggestions are good.
Palmer and Black Widows are also great bows.
You can’t go wrong with a Hoyt satori either. I would not be afraid of the adjustments. The rest is what I would worry about but I have hunted with rests for yrs without a problem.

You can get a Palmer Classic for $750.00
A Widow for $1075.00.
I own about 10 different custom bow brands and several of the same brand.
I’m very hard on equipment. The only one I damaged beyond scratching and needs refinishing is a Bob Sarrels that did not survive a 4 wheeler crash.
If you keep an eye out for used you can cut the price of a great bow in half.

After doing some research I’m leaning towards the satori simply because of the riser design being that it takes ilf limbs there’s a ton of options out there and it’s simply cheaper.
With all that being said I’m not knocking the custom bows they are truly works of art and one day when I become good enough I will own a Palmer but for now I feel like the satori would be a good fit for me

I had a Satori just long enough to put a dozen arrows down range and then box it back up and sell it. I didn't like the balance of the bow. Expect to use stabilizers to balance the bow The last thing that I want on a trad bow is a stabilizer. If you do decide to go with the Satori, you will have three choices of riser lengths. If memory serves correctly, 16",19", and 21". Watching the used market, I get the idea that the 21" is the least favored of the three. I've seen several guys looking to trade the 21 for a 19, but never the other way around. Keep in mind that many of the ILF limbs are weighed using a 25" riser. Mounting them on any riser shorter than 25" increases the weight. For example, I purchased a set of 38 pound carbon limbs that scale in at 47 on a 19" riser. I was hoping for 44 based on the rule of thumb that says add a pound for every inch that the riser is shorter. This particular set of limbs gained a pound and half for every inch shorter.Last edited by 60 Deluxe; 10-19-2020, 03:29 AM.

I have numerous bows , all sage advice above. I buy mine used usually with the exception of a couple of habus back in the day. I am partial to the sa line of widows. They last forever and are very tough bows. My boys both shoot them that i bought used and replacement or spare limbs are fairly easy to find. good luck
