Bigfoot Sasquatch ILF recurve
« on: January 27, 2016, 05:59:00 PM »
There is not much out there on these bows so I wanted to let you guys in on how this bow has been working out for me. I have had it for 3 months now and shoot the heck out of it every chance I get. I also would like to thank Kirk for helping me and answering all my questions during that time.  

   

First of all, for all you guys who think ILF might be complicated....it really isn't. This was my first ILF bow and thanks to Kirk (and another "knowledgeable field tester"   ;)   ) I had this baby set up and close to dialed in very quickly. This is the 17" riser with the G10 i-beam with walnut. The G10 is so cool because it is seriously tough stuff...the riser is cut 3/8" past center. I have mine set up with a nylon tipped set screw and I really like how I can use it to change the tune for a certain arrow.    

The grip is great and has a flat spot for the thumb pad which was totally new for me. Kirk helped explained the benefits of using the flat area of the grip to distribute pressure on my thumb pad....I have got to where I really like it.      

My limbs have carbon on the back and are marked 53@28 and I draw near 29". I have the bolts set at even tiller, backed out 2 3/4 turns.      

I laid it out beside two other well known bows for comparison. Notice the risers, even though the Sasquatch riser is the smallest it is also the heaviest thanks to the G10...makes for a really stable riser in an excellent hunting length.        

The limbs are very light thanks to CF and being so slim. They are very quick, while being smooth drawing and quiet. Something else that stands out about them is how stable they are, I feel like I could use them as a car jack lol...it always amazes me what bowyers can do.    

I also really like the looks of the bow, they scream performance. It has a durable matte finish which will be great for hunting. Kirk did a great job of blending the looks of modern and traditional in my opinion. A good way to describe the looks is "simply handsome".

For anyone considering ILF, and one of Kirk's bows, you should go for it...he has a real winner here. What impresses me most about Kirk is the fact that he is so helpful and wants guys shooting his bows to get the most from them.

A few more pics...thanks for looking!

Great Bow Paul, it confirmed me that it was right to order a SAS SS from Kirk     :bigsmyl:         :help:  
You must be a lucky man I still have to wait for my first set and I try to stand it.   :biglaugh:    

Enjoy the bow!

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post this for us.  Great job. But dagnabit, I am trying to exercise restraint and not pick up a new bow.  This did not help me any.

Thanks guys, I hope some of y'all find it useful.

It's a 17" riser with medium length limbs for a 60" bow.
