I ordered a static recurve last spring to match my Sasquatch target bow Kirk made for me last year. Well I picked it up last week and was not disappointed. The satin finish doesn't bring out the wood grain like the gloss does but it is still very pretty. I've only shot 4 arrows though it due to a broken ankle, but I'm very impressed so far. The first thing I noticed how quiet it is, probably even more so than my Sasquatch. From the numbers Kirk gave me on how fast it is I'm more than satisfied. I know I'm a little biased because I consider Kirk a friend but he has always been a pleasure to work with. I'm hoping he will post a few pics for me, hope you enjoy them.
