My Phoenix has taken flights ( It Landed )

Guys Im telling you a Whippenstick bow is one heck of a bow!  His craftsmanship is top notch and attention is in every detail. I would say the only thing is his strings, I too don't care for endless loop strings. But a lot of guys do!

1/4 I knew you would be happy

Nice!  Nice!  Nice!  You'll have to post a few pictures when you get it up and running with your new string.  Great choice of woods!

I dont understand whats the difference between endless loop that ken provides vs. Others? I just picked this new whippenstik to me from rat and its just a flat out awesome bow! Heck, ken doesnt even like his own flemish, thats why he makes the endless. Ken recommended charlie for different strings, but from what i have seen from this bow its amazing. Grats on your new bow! I to would have missed my bow, but my mailman knows i get long special packages :-)

My Whippenstick is the fastest bow I have ever shot through a chronograph and I have tried MANY this is including many top recurves.   Bill

Well, has the weather improved and allowed you to get out and shoot that new bow. I feel like I have been left hanging not having heard but a short initial reports.

Regards,

Dan, Sorry to leave you hanging.....aside from my initial impressions that I posted on page 4 of this thread, I can tell you that while I don't have a chronograph my Phoenix shoots flatter and faster than any other bow I've ever owned. Not only that but with a Rhino string from Allen Shafer it is extremely quiet and hits my target like a ton of bricks. The only "problem" with it is that It likes a stiffer spines arrow so I can't shoot my GT trad 3555's out of it.  I had to buy some GT trad 5575's and after some playing around with point weights have settled on a combo that she likes. GT trad 5575's cut 30 1/2" ( I draw 29) 4 fletched with a 50grain brass insert +a 20 grain screw in weight and a 175grain field tip for a total weight of 560 grains.
The bow is only 48# at my draw.  It is a meticulously crafted, deadly accurate and whisper quiet recurve.

I've shot this bow and shot nearly a foot high consistently right off the bat. Very flat shooting, accurate,  and quiet.

Basically what Fred said x2

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Great Bow Fred. You will have to send me your Damon howatts since you will not be able to switch back and forth between the two          :p

Sure thing Charlie, right after you send me that Griffin.        :D

[md126]

And take it easy Dan, Fred leaves me hanging all the time. I had to practically beg him to let me shoot his bows....

I would Fred but it doesnt sound like the Griffin shoots as flat as the phoenix either   :rolleyes:
