Right now I'm thinking my 31" Goldtip 55/75 with a 250 grain 1 1/4" VPA or Woodsman on the end should do the trick...  I've got the slip-on Selway to go on it also...

Did I mention I can't wait to get this bow???

I shoot AD TRad Lites cut 28.5" (i draw 27"). 100 grain brass insert, 30 gr BHA and 125 gr Zwickey. Total arrow weight 600 grains. They fly like darts from all my bows especially the Kempf Stealth.

The 1 1/4" 250's on GT 5575 are exactly what my 60" 58# KS likes. However, mine are cut 29 5/8" [ I draw 28 1/2" ]from nock throat to BOP for right at 580 gns... They work veeeery nice for me.  :thumbsup:

I know that bow Gene...  ;)   Glad it has worked out so well for you!  If it was a 58" or even 56" I would still own it...

Got it today, exactly as described, serving was a bit thick for my nocks on my Goldtips so I changed it out.  

Started with my 55/75's and the 250 grain tips... to weak.  Dropped down to 200... 175... 125 and bingo!  Nock and feathers and stacking arrows, but those arrows are to light...  So, switched to the 75/95 and started with the 250 grain tips... Here are the first two arrows at 23 yards...

 
 

After shooting for about an hour or so with that combo, I've found the arrow for this bow.  Kinda surprised that it took such a stiff arrow, but it is what it is... Plus I was right about the 58" vs the 60" for me...  Still have a bit of tinkering to do, but I'm loving it so far!

That is a SWEET bow.

With your draw length and those stiff Gold Tips, you got a real powerhouse there.

Obviously, it hums a precision tune!  :thumbsup:

Looks like that bow fits well for you.
If you tinker to much you will only replace nocks each shot.  :thumbsup:

I don't shoot like that all the time, but I think it was more the bow saying "There you go dummy, that's what I like!"   ;)   Put "my" wool puffs at the 1/4 points of the string tonight, and this string already has Bow Hush on the ends...  I've got the brace at 7 1/2" right now, but I'm gonna tinker around with that a bit and see if it will tell me the same type of thing when i find the sweet spot.

It looks to be a great shooter and a looker too.

Well, after getting a PM from Joe Skipp I put the measure tape on the bow...  It's actually a 60" bow!  Says 58" on the limbs, but it is definately a 60" bow.  This riser is the 16" riser and the 56" and 58" bows usually have the 14" riser...

Anyway, I've got another Kwyk Styk coming to me, 56", 56# @ 28"...

 
 
 
 

Plan on changing these limbs with the current ones I have, and put the current limbs I have on the new riser.  Should make a pair of 58" bows, one with a 16" riser and one with a 14" riser...

Jeff, That sure looks to be a 58" riser to me.

If I'm not mistaken, all of the KS's have the same length limbs, just the riser length changes.

For example, my two have just shy of 14" risers and are def. 56" KS's....

 Jack must measure them a little different. Because when I make a string for either of mine, I have to make them for an AMO 57" bow.

So if your riser is around 16", you have a 58" KS bud.

Just looking at the riser, I can tell it's a 58"'er, and the very familiar looking one you have the way to you is a 56" KS...you're gonna love it!

Certainly don't want to contradict my bud Joe...but that's what it looks like to me...

Very nice bow

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Awesome. How did you manage to score another one? These bows are as rare as woodpecker teeth and you snatched up the first one I've seen in the classifieds in 4 years, and now another within two weeks. Your one lucky guy.

I was hovering on that first one you got within minutes of it being posted, but it just wasn't right for me. Wasnt going to last long for sure. Enjoy it.

Thanks all!

Curt, the riser on the one I have is 15 5/8" long and nock to nock is 56" strung.  That makes it a 60" bow correct?  AMO minus 4"?  

The one I have coming is a 13 1/2" riser and 52" nock to nock... Makes for a 56" bow with my measurements...  Also, the current Kwyk Styk I have is 2" longer then the 58" Widow PSA I have when you lay them side by side...  The extra 2" has to be in the limbs...  

Now, if the limbs interchange will be the trick.  I'm sure they will be close, but if they actually work will be the key... If so, I think they would each make a 58" bow...  If not, I guess I'll have a 60" and a 56"...  I guess I'll find out when the new one gets here...

No worries on my end!    ;)  

And Casey, I just put a "Want to Buy" add in the classifieds and got a hit... only took about 2 weeks...  Now I have or will have a nice pair of Kwyk Styks...  Either 60" and 56" or two at 58"...  Couldn't be happier either way!
