Post by: MnFn on September 12, 2008, 11:43:00 AM: Everyone must be out hunting. Unfortunately, I have time to post. Wish I were out there, also.
Anyway here is a pic or two of my Kota Prairie Swift recurve. Stats- 55@28,60". The bow was bought from stock on hand, but it fit me very well. I really like the shape of the grip. I did change the rest to seal skin. Seems faster (with the same arrows) than my 60# recurve or my 60#longbow. I think the limbs are bamboo.

The bow on top belongs to my little guy. Got shut in the garage door and twisted a bit. But it is still alive.

Inhimwelive...what wood is that in the bow? Like the dark color.

Katie...after seeing your bow I'm even more excited for my next Kill-um (currently on order, come on December!!!). Curly/Spalted Myrtle limbs with bamboo cores and a Cocobolo handle with Pronghorn antelope tips, even going to have a dark flare, either Ebony or Wrenge. Your bow is beautiful.

Gee I'll play along.

Kota Kill-um Bocote and Birds-eye Maple!

I've only shot recurves until now. Wasn't sure about shooting a long bow, but this Kota has won me over! It is 64", 52# @ 28", and is smooth as can be with no hand shock. I've adapted to it just fine. What's really nice is that I can swap between it and my Pittsley Predator without having to spend any time re-adjusting! I just start laying 'em in there!

Akbowbender...how do you like the Kota three piece? I almost bought that bow...did you get the case also?

Post by: akbowbender on September 19, 2008, 01:50:00 PM: Josh,

I really like it. A smooth shooter and a good looker to boot! The grip fits well, which might be part of why I can switch back and forth with my Predator without a problem. Seems to be pretty quick, too.

I did get the case. Jim did a nice job on it.

Post by: katie on September 30, 2008, 09:56:00 PM: I second that. Tim is a good guy. If you are not interested in a bow, check out the website for the hunting pics. Man Kota bows have taken some big boys.
