56 inch Kanati, anyone shoot one?

[BOWMARKS]

Hey Ken  

I have never seen one of these but I am a short bow shooter and I think you just sold me one. Not a longbow shooter because of the straight grips but I think I could handle this!!

[adkmountainken]

most longbows do not fit me either as i have rather small hands but i'm sure this one will as a Shrew fits me well and pretty much all reflex deflex handles fit me well.  i could send had a Shrew to try but it is #66@28.

You keep going and by the time that bow gets home it's gonna be 64" long and 60#.......

Ken  

I have a Shrew Little recurve have a hard time with the offset grip the Kanti does'nt have so I think I can handle it. It looks like the grip on my Saluki.  

Thanks for opening my eyes MARK

I have a 56"er listed in the St. Jude Auction. Bid high and bid often, get a great bow and help the "little angels" in the process

good on you Yello Dog!!!!!!! sure it will do well!

Ken, You sure you dont want a 60" and 52 lbs?

[djohnson]

Ken,
I have a 60" 49@28 from Jason. I draw close to 29.5. I was concerned about the 58" being too short. My 60" feels better to draw than my 66" longbows. I believe I could draw it past my ear without any issues. Jason's bows are extremely smooth.

Kanati is one of my favorite hunting bows as a matter of fact its the best short longbow Ive shot . I had a 58in. and shot it real well . I bet you could shoot the 56in. good with pratice but you would probally shoot the 58in. better

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Ken maybe it should be a 62" 54lb bow?   :rolleyes:    

[adkmountainken]

no no no don't give me ideas Charlie!!! ya still got me thinking about a way to sling shot that big molder of the mountain!!! #50@28 58 inches is my final answer! besides i can allways order a 60 inch #60@28 later on!

Ken,

That is a great choice! You wouldn't really need to go 50# for deer, but you should be set for anything on the continent with a 50# Kanati. I like the 58" myself, but at 28" the 56" wouldn't be an issue. You WILL be amazed at the speed for as smooth as these little bows draw.

Got my 58" 53@28,   great craftsmanship, very practical hunting finish, smooth draw at 28+, and is sure throws an arrow faster than some heavier bows I have owned (noticeably so).  

Mine is Walnut riser/amberboo core, black glass with black/tan overlay and tips.

Put a some "wool" silencers on and it is now real quiet.

WIll be posting a review soon.
