Tribal Styk Recurves

The Tribal Styk one-piece recurve is imperative part to the Robertson Stykbow lineup. Over the years we have had many requests for a full pistol grip recurve to complement our take-down models. At Robertson Stykbow we like to keep our customer’s wishes in mind while evolving and improving performance and the Tribal Styk fills the bill. The smooth flowing lines of the Tribal Styk recurve has a distinctive beauty all its own. A short handle section and long working limb makes this bow ultra-smooth. Constructing the limb with vertically laminated tapered bamboo framed with your choice of various wood veneers and clear glass creates a durable, cosmetically appealing recurve. The lightweight slim profile design makes it a joy to pack in the woods.
