JK Traditions Kanati ... why have I just found this bow!!
« on: November 18, 2008, 03:35:00 AM »
Hi all,

 Can someone please tell me why I've just found this bow on here! Man that looks like a sweet looker of a bow.... just what I like in a LB.

I thought with 3 good widows in the stable I'd never need another bow... but now I gotta re-think that whole idea!

Al, you always need another bow!

I agree, they look good. I was on their website a few weeks ago. Do they ship overseas yet?

Have shot a few Kanatis.  Very nice and worth the $.

Al ,
I picked up a Kanati during Oct due to wanting a shorter bow and after only shooting it one week I felt as though I had been shooting it for years . After only one week of shooting it I took it hunting and killed my 2nd largest buck ever with any kind of weapon . Shot was 22 yards and I hit him right where I was looking . Ive talked with jason several times and I think he is a great guy ( hes a hunter just like us ) , give him a call you wont be sorry . Do a search on Kanati and you will see the buck I killed .

Count me in as a fan of the Kanati. Well built, good looking, good performance, comfortable, and probably one of the best buys available!

Great bows for sure And Jason is really nice to talk with. I've got two of his older model Kabekona River bows and a Kanati Jason built for Me in January. They all shoot very well.

I bought one back in January and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Great shooters and very affordable.

I've had a ton of custom bows and the "Kanati" is all I own now.....so I really like'em.

Really fits me just right and probley one of the best bargains in archery.

Here's a link to some pictures of mine.

I had one of Jason's bows, it was top notch in all respects!!!  Comparable to any of the high end customs I have had.

I have two Kanatis and my son has one. I guess you could say I'm a fan! Jason is great to work with, and as has been said, he is a hunter and a Tradgang member. I have owned and shot a lot of bows, but have found no equal for the Kanati.

I don't mean to demean your Widows, but if you buy a Kanati, they will need to be dusted occasionally.  :bigsmyl:

Got one and love it.  Just a little "thump" when it goes off.  Very smooth at my 29" draw and excellent speed.

Is this the same fella that makes the Kabekona River Bows? And if so, what are the noticeable differences between the river bows and the Kanati?
Does the Kanati have carbon core like the river bows?

I've been eying a river bow, stumbled across this thread, and now I'm curious.  :)

Thanks,
 Dave

I'm interested in the differences also!  I've got a newly adopted Kanati coming home soon, and can't wait to shoot her!  :D

I read the Kanati's have -boo in them, but is there a chance they've got carbon a well?
