I have a Wapiti Spike TD longbow and lone it so much because of its smoothness.Its 60#@29 but I like to shoot it more than my 45#@28 Martin Bushmaster, both are 64" btw.Finish is not the best out there imho but performance is.Thats a nice combination there!

Sharp looking bow for sure!!!  I have shot a couple them and the grip was sweet and it really was a smoothing shooting bow!

Nice lookin' "Wapiti"

   Keith is more about function than purty but that one looks like it's got both.

            Enjoy they are good shooters!

Be sure you follow his instructions in stringing the bow.  It has some of the most wicked hooks on the ends of the recurve limbs I've seen.

I have had one on my wish list for a while now and that one is as nice as I have seen. I passed one up on the classifieds a while ago and kicked myself ever since.

If the bow is new and you got it from Keith he will send a stringer he specifically makes for his bows.

You must tell us how it shoots...I have this running conversation with myself to get the short version...I also hear that Keith's main focus is on functionality.
I really want a great hunting bow.  Let us know.
