Kwyk-Styk
« on: September 25, 2009, 10:52:00 PM »
Day before leaving on a 10 day elk trip I get a call from Jack. He lets me know my new 56" Kwyk-Styk is finished and on the bus.Guess the new one will have to wait to draw first blood, as I have my 58" Styk all tuned up for this trip.   Back from elk hunting and finally I get to put my hands on this gem.        Mr. Kempf did not disappoint.  And she shoots like she looks.  With 2 sets of limbs I think my bowshopping days are over.[at least recurve wise]   Anyway, I knew a few out there would appreciate a few pics so enjoy.       Thanks Jack,a craftsman and a true gentleman.   Mo.

I've never had the opportunity to shoot one much less own one.  But, I know Curt "Guru" loves his and he makes them put the arrow where it counts time and time again.  If he was only a righty I'm sure I'd have had my chance to shoot one...  I'm not much of a recurve guy anymore, but the Kwyk Styk is on my list of bows to run through the mill.

Congrats on an awesome bow, Jack is a true artist and his bows are awesome shooters from what I hear.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the comments.Sure turned out pretty. Wood combinations are Dymondwood and Zebra , maple and red phenolic accents. When I first talked to Jack I wanted Bocote but he said he had some fancy Zebra that he recommended .Sure glad I let him talk me into it.You really have to appreciate the funky lams on the limbs.   I also had him inlay a Elk Ivory from my first traditional killed elk . Stats are 56" static limb,finger grooved riser,antler thumb rest,2 sets limbs,1- 56#@ 29"/ 2- 49#-29" Honestly guys if you ever get a chance to shoot a Kempf creation, do it. And you'll probably place an order.   Thanks for looking  Mo.

Oh Joe, I saw it.  I thought it was mine and you were messing with me.  It's beautiful!  And now I REALLY can't wait.  I am chomping at the bit...  Hate to wish the days away, but I want it now.

Another masterpiece by Jack if you guys think his Kwyk Styk is great his Stealth Recurve is very nice as well and if you allready have too many recurves Jack Kemph Little Grizzly is a Very nice easy shooting  Long bow ,,Hard not to have a Little Grizzly Bow if you allready own one of his Recurves   :thumbsup:    :notworthy:    :archer:

Great looking bow!

Jack's bow are absolutely second to none!

I guess I better stop sending people his way or he'll never have a chance to make another for me!

Seriously, I wish everyone could have a chance to shoot an Kwyk Styk. Only then could you really appreciate it all the good you hear about them.
