Title: Javaman Falcon Review
Post by: Scott E on February 07, 2017, 11:57:00 AM
I sold a bow recently and that bow money was burning a hole in my pocket. So I called up Mr. Coffee to see if he had any bows left over from Kalamazoo.

He just so happened to have a couple and I scored a sweet 60" Falcon that is 50# at 30"

Being a tall person with a long draw I've always shot longer bows. My current favorite bow is a 64" Stalker Wolverine. But Javaman bows have great reviews and I wanted to try something different.

The bow arrived two days after I called Greg and I was on the range the next day.

All I can say is that I have drank that caffeinated Javaman koolaid. This bow just might be the perfect hunting bow. Smooth, fast, and most importantly accurate.

More to come as I play with it more...

Beautiful bow! Those limb veneers are stunning. I wouldn't mind seeing some close ups of them.

Those Javaman bows are awesome. Got my Assyrian little over a month ago and has become my favorite stick. Unbelievable how smooth they draw.
Have fun with your new bow!

I have to say I am excited to getting my first Javaman bow sometime this summer.  I'm sure it'll look just as good as yours there buddy but I have to say I really like your arrows in that picture really make that bow pop Lol

Let us know how it acts with the long draw. I have an Assyrian ordered but could be easily convinced to change to the falcon.
Does anyone have both the falcon and the Assyrian for comparison?
Does Greg have any other bows left from the show?

I shot the Falcon XL at K'Zoo and really liked that one for my 30" draw.  They were all lookers for sure though!!

Not a Falcon. But I got my Long awaited Helms Deep the other day! It's a shooter for sure.. Gregg was a pleasure to deal with and is a great guy over all.
