Sasquatch is a shooter!!!
« on: January 30, 2011, 02:58:00 PM »
and a looker.
   

Made by Kirk Lavender of Big Foot Bows.  Heck of good guy to deal with.  Spent many hours on the phone making sure that this bow would be exactly what I wanted.  

This one is Mac. Ebony with a curly maple 'I' beam.  59# at 27".  Very very smooth draw, nice easy pull right to anchor.  I opted for the recurve limbs for this one, I have also shot the longbow limbs on a Sasquatch.  Both limbs fling an arrow with some authority.  The arrows are 605gr. and hit like a Mac truck.  Both limbs are extremely quiet.   The recurve limb feels like it gets a little lighter in weight further into the draw.  

Arrows hit right where I aim.  Possible due to the fact that Kirk took a tracing of my hand and made it fit the grip.  It is easily one of the more repeatable grips I've had on a bow.  

Construction is impeccable, top of the line.  Comparable to all the big names.

Congrats on a great bow.  Kirk really puts his all into his builds and is producing some really fine bows.  That is some fine looking wood....  :thumbsup:

Damn, that is pretty.  I've got a couple of Kirk's bows and I believe you're right, BMG, that the closer to you get to full draw the additional weight you're pulling is going up but by a decreasing amount per inch - makes a wonderfully smooth draw.  My arrows fly like darts out of his bows.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

As a fellow bowyer and personal friend of Kirks we do a lot of collaborating. In fact to the point that I am going to be the proud owner of his first (prototype) of his new onepiece recurve.

 I was just recently informed that I will be the papa of a new 64 inch static recurve soon. I will be sure to give a detailed report when I get it.

Knowing Kirk and having shot his bows and him shooting mine I will say that if you are in the market for a bow that is one of the great bows being built today  check out a Sasquatch by Kirk Lavender.

I will vouch for his bows being super fast, super quiet and of good workmanship. His designs and committment are top notch and he is a great guy to deal with, possessing integrity and honesty. You will get more than your moneys worth. God Bless you all, Steve

Yep, these guys aren't to far from where I live. Good looking bows. There is a prototype carbon take down on Kirks web site that is a real looker.
