Ken,

  Here are a few pictures of my black glass with rosewood colored Kanati. I have had Grifins and Shrews. They are all nice bows but this one you can actually order and receive inside of a year and it shoots every bit as nice. The price is right and the quality is great. jwingman

I had a Kanati in my herd for a bit.  It was light for me and I traded it off, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another.  Very well crafted, tp level performance and no bad habits.  I tend to prefer a more traditional style longbow, but I do find the short highly D/R style to be a great hunting tool.  Clearly one of the best bow values available.

Cant really answer much about the bows (mine isnt here yet), but I can that Jason is a very good guy to deal with.   Always gets back to you if you call,  answers questions with some thought and interest.

Kanati is top knotch.

Jason Kendall is top knotch as well. I bought a used one that he is currently doing some work on for me, and I can tell he is all round good guy who stands by his product.

They are whisper quiet, and great feeling in the hand. Guarantee I will have another 1 or two of these in my arsenal in the next couple years.

Buy one, you won't regret it.

Ken,

  I find the grip to be very similar to the Griffin and Shrew. If you want it to feel even more like them, just put a leather grip on it. It fits the hand well and it a very comfortable grip. That is what makes the bow a great fit for me. The grip and the comfort of it is high on my satifaction score. I love the forward handle and the way it points. Jwingman

I would say after owning several of both Kanati's and Shrew'sthat the handles differ in many ways. The kanati was thinner at the throat, and felt like a slimmer palm swell and the shrew has a little bigger in both areas, but both are extremely comfortable.

Here's a couple pics of mine.  It's a 60 inch bow, 50# @ 28 inches; it has the Walnut finish on the handle, and clear glass.  It's a very well behaved bow that's easy (and a boatload of fun) to shoot, and to shoot well.  I'm shooting an 11gpp arrow out of it, it's faster than I expected (no chrono, just my impression and comparing it to other bows) and it's whisper quiet.

Yep really nice bows. I had one and loved it. I sold it to buy my Hoots. Ben just traded his Mon River for one. Should be here today or tomorrow.
Here's the Hoots. Might want to consider one of these bro.

The Yellow bow is an older Kabekona I once built for G&M Archery. Not a Kanati
