I would like some feedback on these recurves. Has anyone ever shot one and what's the scoop on them?

I still have one (one piece Mentor) although I don't shoot it anymore since discovering metal risers. It is a beautiful work of the bow makers art. For what it is (wood riser) it shoots just fine. Quieted down easily by just adding some fuzzy stuff on the string.

Wes Wallace is a real gentleman and stands behind his work. Even though that style of bow is no longer my preference I would highly recommend Wes as a bowyer.

I have a custom one I just got, cocobolo and bocote riser with 2 sets of limbs, one is yew over boo with antler tips and 53# the other is cocobolo veneers over boo with buff tips, best looking, shooting recurve that Ive ever held. Iam super busy with work and school until thursday but if you want pics I will post them on Thursday evening, super bows period!!

I owned and shot a Wes Wallace Partner for about a year. It was my main bow, 64" and pulling 60#@30 inches. The workmanship was immaculate. The limbs were stack-free and it as a pleasure to shoot. I especially liked the handle configuration. I thought that it shot as well (or perhaps better) as a Black Widow, but wasn't quite a quick as a Black Douglas. It was a real solid performer. I only sold the bow to decrease my draw weight.

I have one of his longbows and I shoot it alot. I really like it and it is very quite and shoots hunting weight arrows as fast or faster than bows costing more money.
I have shot other peoples Wallace recurves. I think it is a real shooter. The ones I have shot out perform my Bear Takedown with less draw weight.
You would not go wrong buying one of his bows.
