So back to “done”…my KajikaStik was complete so I headed over to pick it up and learn a few things…strings, leather grips just hang out and talk bows.
It took me way to long (started back too late...I was having too much fun) to get home (wife gave me this look when I got home :pray: ), three lanes into one and then back I went…top speed was about 60 in the blinding rain and road spray. I decided after I got the look
!["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
that I should spend the rest of the night with her and the kids.It has been raining nonstop since I got home; I had hoped to get some pictures in the sunlight…not to be. So I’ll take some another way, these to follow!
Here are a few to hold ya over till I get some of my bow. 56”, 58” and 60” KajikaStik’s all out of gray actionwood.

Sorry this is all I've got...oh one more. Finally saw Jim "I'm not worthy" Copperhead bow in person since it was finished, the last time I saw it in person we had just applied the skins.

Riser: Osage and Myrtle
Longbow limbs: Myrtle veneers with Osage & Bamboo cores.
Recurve limbs: Myrtle Veneers with Osage cores.
The myrtle is not like normal curly myrtle you see in a lot of bows…it has color and grain like actionwood, I think it would be tiger striped flat grain if I'm not mistaken.
Longbow limbs attached with recurve:

I haven't shot them both but will in the next day or so...darn rain is still falling.
JD it is awesome, can't wait to chase thunder chickens this spring and deer this fall.
It throws a heavy arrow fast.
Love this thing!

Nice looking bow, Josh. Let's see a closeup of the image on the riser. Is that a Whisperstik logo? What is the grip material? I like it. Do you know the specs on those gray bows?
Mike
It is a Whisperstik logo, awesome looking in person.
The grip material is brown leather but it has a lot of character in the grain. He also put one on my Savannah and it looks great and changes the whole feel of the bow.
The 56" gray actionwood was sold after I left I believe it was 62 lbs at 28". The 58" is 63 @ 28 and the 60" is #60 at 29".
I have to go shot it now... :goldtooth:

Need a 200 grain broadhead combo now!
First shot hit the bull’s-eye and the rest were very good. Shot about 40 or so arrows and can't wait to get home and shoot it some more!
