Mike,

That bench the Outlaw is resting on appears to have some nice looking veneers in it just waiting to be made!    ;)    :)

Wow I am verrry impressed.  The grip and riser combo looks incredible, and then you had to go and add two beautiful limbs on it.  Very unique looking at awesome bow my friend.

Congratulations on the new bow. Verrry nice. Now,

Thanks! I love the way it looks!

I shot it some today....I think I'm going to need a stiffer arrow than I thought. Seems to be shooting .400 carbons best with 50 grain insert and 200 grain tip. I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

Well, it's like butter at 30", only picks up 5# between 28" and 30", but man does it throw an arrow! I've shot the one piece Mojo... it and this Kajika is still the quietest recurves I've shot. Maybe because of the semi static tips makes it so smooth and quiet at a shorter length.

The Kajika is only 56", but feels like a longer bow...very stable, I think the rear mounted limbs contribute to this.

I really believe if you are "cursed" with a long draw (around 30") and wanting to shoot a shorter bow,,, you can't go wrong with a 56" Kajikastik!

Here's the last of the pictures I've took....might as well post them too. LOL!

Mike,

Looks like you and JD hit a "homerun" with that wood combo on "Outlaw"     :thumbsup:          :thumbsup:          :thumbsup:    

Too sweet. I think she's much prettier than "Firewood" whose mother I believe was an old Osage fence post that JD rescued and turned into a work of art instead of winding up heating someones home during these cold winter months.

Great looking Bow.
Now I can hardly stand it. JD sent me pics of the limb veneers and riser laid up and roughed out of my new 56" Kajika. Very grainy cocobolo veneers and cocobolo/osage riser. It should be shipping out here in a week or two.
I was being extremely patient until you had to go and post those pics MIke. I hope mine looks close to that good.

Great looking bow.  Love that myrtle in the riser.  But, what are you talking about "I really believe if you are "cursed" with a long draw (around 30")"?  You are joking right?

Elkchaser, your bows sound very nice.  I like the cocobolo and osage combo's I have seen.  
Be sure to post it.

xtrema312, it's a long story, but yea it's an inside joke with a good friend here who has a short draw.....he says I'm cursed with the long draw. lol!

Elkchaser, it's worth the little wait! Your bow will be awesome.....they always look better than the pictures, but post some when you get it!
