You are gonna like that fury.  Kohannah is the quietest bow I have ever shot.  They shoot hard too.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of, and if so, I will then have two BOW'S, and will no longer be a one bow person !!!!!!!


But I'm a little concerned about the 47# @ 28" because my draw is 29", if some way I can learn to cut it to 28".  Or send it back to the person that made it, and have him bring it down.

Well looks like I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

I might be a little off topic, but does the design of bow make a difference? Meaning that one bow @ 45 lbs, shooting an arrow that weighs 490 gr. @ 186 ft per sec. Would be any different than another design of bow @ 40 lbs,shoooting the same arrow, @ the same ft per sec. Would there be any difference @ point of impact @ the same distance?  :help:

If there is one word that I have heard more than any word out of "Whip" bow maker Dan, from the Montana bows, that word would be "consistency",
I am surprised that people haven't said when they pick up their bow they feel his heartbeat.

Yes I'm exaggerating a little bit, but out of one bow maker I've never heard so many comments about that he puts his heart and soul into making every bow as though it was his last.  And that is a mark of a very skilled and talented person, that has all of his skill and talent wrapped up into a passion for his workmanship.

So my expectations are high, I'm looking forward to my new Whip bow, and I would suspect that the efficiency of that bow will be more consistent, then of some other bow.  Now don't get me wrong there are a lot of people out there putting their hearts and souls into their bow's, but there are some traits about Dan, that you don't see in those others.

That is also what is giving me troubles sometimes in my life, there is an expression " if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right"

I used to say in my photography business " you're only as good as your last wedding" and I think that's the attitude that Dan has, he probably feels he's only has this one chance to make this customer appreciate him for the rest of his life.
So the consistency in a bow is put into it by the hands of the maker.  And we all know who gave Dan his wonderful talent, God

Gee, was that off subject, I don't think anyone cares, we are all friends here, that is what so great about this site. all of you !
