Kempf Kwyk Styk - Arrived! Pics!
« on: March 04, 2010, 11:40:00 AM »
I recently purchased a Kwik Styk from a fellow TG'r (froggy) and the USPS delivery confirmation tracking (well worth the $.70) said it arrived in my town this morning, so I am headed home for lunch to check it out!!

Pics to come tonight!!!  This is the first one I have owned, 58" 50@28.  Heard alot of good things about them, so very anxious to try it out!       :readit:      

Thanks Lanier!      :thumbsup:

Lanier is a great guy to deal with.

I just recieved a JK Traditiona Kanati from him the other week. Smooth to deal with.

Wow, the bow I have been looking for and now you have it! Good Luck & I am can't wait to hear from you and what you think. If I were you, I would not even shoot the bow, just sell it to me. Good Luck

This bow really is a pleasure to shoot.  The only thing I would change is perhaps get one that is shorter, other than that...Everything they are cracked up to be!

Anyone have advice on brace height, perhaps what you are using?

Thanks

Jake

I shoot my 2 56"ers at 7 3/4-8"...but that might be a little higher than most...I'd start at 7 1/4"

Good Luck with it!

I'll also add that I use 10 strand TS-1 on my 58#'er, and and 12 strands on my 63#...SWEET!!

Jake,
That bow likes 7 1/2" to 7 5/8" tops bud. Try a 8 or 10 strand Multicam, pad the loops and watch the horsepower go up... with zero string creep after initial stretch...

I shoot the kwik styks with 7 3/4 + , same as Curt. Nice and quiet, if I go lower, they still shoot but I get a little noise, probably due to my release as much as anything. The 58" models shoot great, the only reason to go shorter would be to clear the rail on a ladder stand, my 58" works fine in a blind.

At 7 3/4"+ there no noticeable change in performance, but a noticeable "quietness" to my bows.

But all bows are a little different as are we...

If it had been 7-10#'s heavier I would have bought it....maybe someday I'll find one to try.

I ran mine at 7 3/4"s to almost 8"s. It was way quieter and as Curt said, no noticeable change in performance. Shawn

Awesome looking bow! I am glad you love it, I held Curt's in Albany a few weeks ago but he is LH. FYI, I called and added my name to the waiting list today. Jack's a great guy to talk to. Good Luck and have fun.

7-7/14" seems to be the sweet spot but every shooter is different.

Keep the Faith JC....still looking...

Thanks everyone!  I have it around 7 3/4 right now with a SBD string, and it is pretty quiet and still seems to spit the arras out pretty well.  Have a little more tuning to go.

Lanier, I will give one of those stings a try.

Great bows!
