New to me, JavaMan Elkheart
« on: July 05, 2016, 10:08:00 PM »
And looks brand new, as well.  Did some reading and selling. And would up with this beauty.  56", 54@28", so maybe 57-58# at my draw.  Very nice bacote limbs, looks like buff tips, phenolic riser with bowbolt.

 

 

 

 

Not shooting too bad either

Congrats on that find! Been watching for one myself. 3 bows that I would like to try are the Elkheart, the Pika and the Thunderchild. I think the two piece would be great.

Pat,I really like my Elkheart,is so smooth and incredibly accurate, something you wouldn't expect from such a short and light bow. The td system is the best for me.

I was just entertaining this very thing... you may have just pushed me over the edge.

At a 28" draw do you feel any sense of finger/string pinch?
