Who makes a regular old style recurve bow? About a 50lb pull. I don't care for pulleys and wheels or laser sights. I just want to fling some sticks in the back yard.

meister, I see tons of these in antique and second hand stores for about $25. Good ones too. Bear, Browning etc. Some might need a string but overall most are like new. RD

There are several makers out there, some are mass produced, and some are custom made, and there several in between.
Cost is always a factor, and inteded use. Most catalog stores have one or two styles listed.

I shot an old Dave Howatt, 55 pound recurve.I used to bowhunt with it,then I started bowfishing with it.I recently retired it as a piece of history.
Been lookin for a black widow for a spell to bowhunt with but I have a sweet Diamond bow.Figure I`ll hunt with the recurve some and the Diamond some,,,

You might want to look on something like craiglist? Or look around for someone building 'self-bows'?
I'd vote:
Fred Bear - should be able to get into the weight your looking for around $499.99(-ish)
Martin - makes a great take down in that weight class for about $699.99
That just what I carry at work. I'm not a big 'wood guy'(now that sounds wrong in a few different ways-where is that Enzyte?), so I'm not going to say I know how these shoot compared to something really nice. You could call a friend of mine that deals with a LOT of wood(not going there again). He can be reached at (501) 663-2245 {Archer's Advantage in Little Rock, AR}
Scott (give him a call) B
