Chastain Bows

Any opinions on his t/d recurves

[MSwickard]

I love mine.  Bought it in 1987.  Keith makes a nice recurve especially if you have draw length greater than 28". His limb design gives a nice smooth draw and nk stack. If you go to the www. RMSGEAR.com, Tom carries a lot of Keith's Wapiti bows.

My bow is not FF capatible, but I know Keith does make the limbs for FF type strings.  My 62" TD which is 60 @28 will launch an 600 grain arrow around 185 fps.  A lot of people do not like the finish on the bows because it is dull looking.  Remember he is making a hunting bow so the finish is matte like.  However, the finish holds up extremely well.

I'd really love to own one.  Along with a Shrew, an ACS, a Hill, a Habu, a Robertson of any kind, a Patriot...

Cran, add one to that list: a Navajo bow.... exceptional bows

I have had two, and I think for long draw archers, they are some of the best huntin bows made.  Very well made and bombproof,  quiet and right up there for speed.  Again, the finish is not up to par with some of the others made, but if you are looking for a great hunting bow, they are near the top of my list.  I hear the bamboo limbs with ff string really smoke....

Good bows. Had a Wapiti t/d. That is until I shot a Toelke. Nothing but Whips for me. Grip fits me much better and s much more froving than any other bow I have had.


Best thing is to ry one and see if it is your cup of tea. They are a very quiet ecurve when set up correctly. ALWAYS use  sringer with them.ALWAYS!
