Anybody have a Kanati?
« on: December 22, 2009, 11:15:00 AM »
One of my step dads friends bought a new bow from a guy ( i believe from this site) and its a kanati. I thought it was his sons at first because it was so small. Anyways i wanted to know idf anyone has or uses one and what they think about them.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear curtinmo.  Just purchased a sweet 56" 50lb at 28" Kanati from a gang member.  Only shot about 12 arrows, quick and smooth drawing.  I just need to work on my form, a little erratic with it.

I have two of them and they are great shooters. The 56" is ideal for blind hunting and tree stands.

Love mine!  Took a whitetail with it in early season.  Great bow.  I love the size of it.  Nothing poor to say at all!  Jason makes an amazing bow!

I have one and it's probably the best short, hybrid bow I've shot.  I think Jason's finish is one of the best I've seen - perfect for a hunting bow but still pleasing to the eye.  The grip suits me well and it is very smooth and dead in the hand for a such a small, quick bow.  Maybe it is partially due to the dymondwood he uses in the riser.  I dunno but one thing is for sure: Jason builds one style of bow and he has pretty much perfected it.
Do or do not ... there is no "try"

George let me take care of that wart with my Katati. It won't hurt much.

Kanati is one of the best bangs for the buck. It is my go to bow. Matter of fact I'm getting ready to order another. Mine is 60" with 29" draw, no problem. Let us know what you decide and welcome aboard.

I don't have any plantar warts, but I have two Kanatis. My son has one. My cousin has an earlier JK bow. They are as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned. I still haven't figured out how Jason gets so much speed out of such a light draw, but I like it! The finish is not just good looking; it is tough as nails! The grip on my 46# is PERFECT! The bow is like an extension of me. There is absolutely ZERO hand shock or stack. At 58" it seems to be ideal for any hunting situation.

Try it; you'll like it!

If you are thinking about a short long bow-this is the one to think about. I have owned and shot a lot of bows,my Kanati is far and above my favorite!
