they are great bows Mike

Kanati's are shooters too!

string follow double carbon cut to or past center bacote riser nice narrow tips maybe beefed up riser to allow smaller grip!

Call up Dan Toelke...I told him I wanted a Short tree stand bow to make 20yrd or closer shots,a recurve,and all Black..But I told him I did not want to follow the wide limbs down in to my riser..So he made me a 52" sheep horn tips,Recurve limb,then tapperd it dowin to a Whip Riser,narrow with a thumb rest,It shipped to Big Jim for a Beavertail grip and Diamondbacks skins,,I took out a 3rd Morgage on my Horse Farm to pay for it,But it  is my Truly Custom Bow..Dan can and will do any thing you want,,,,

God bless you all, Steve

68" r/d with a heavy 24" riser and reverse taper limbs.  It would have carbon on the back with the limb core carmelized bamboo.  Not too concerned about the type of wood or color of the glass.

I built the perfect bow but...............

The wife grabbed it up and I was left to build myself a bow from the scraps.

I'm not sure exactly what I want, but I would ask Chuck Deshler, Bill Dunn, and South Cox to collaborate on it. I'd ask Chuck to pick out some Premium Pure Michigan wood, Bill to design a foam core limb, and South to engineer the riser and grip. Then they would need to collaborate on the build. 58", 50#@29", hybrid longbow or static tip limb recurve.

Owlbait,

You took the words right out of my mouth!  Not a collaboration effort, but a 58" 52@28 static tip from South in the making.  We all know how this works, so at this time I consider this "my perfect bow"  Exciting stuff...

I got a 60" Ben Pearson Cougar Recurve from my dad forty years ago and shot my first several deer with it, I still have it. Its a righty or lefty.   I wish I could have one just like that but with Bob Morrisons carbon/foam limbs and snakeskins. Would be just great!

I already have 3 perfect bows Ralph. 2 Griffins and a shrew.  The only thing more that I could ask for is a little more figure in their veneers.   :bigsmyl:
