Kabekona River Test Bow

[JBridegroom22]

Sorry for the delay. It's been a busy week. I received the bow in the mail on Saturday. Couldn't get it unpacked and strung fast enough. All I can say is wow! The pictures don't do this thing justice at all. It's a beautiful bow. Now to get past the looks, this thing is one sweet shooter. Smooth fast and quiet. All I can say is I wish my week was a little later, some lucky guy or gal is going to get the oppertunity to hunt with a nice bow. Not looking forward to passing it off but am excited to hear what other people think of it.

Got a note from the postal delivery worker.....sorry i missed you....you can pick up your package tomorrow.....  :(  

I decided to rather chase down the postal worker around town to get it     with success   :p    

I shot a few arrows with it before light got to low.     First impressions....it's a shooter for sure. Pretty darn quick, quiet, and felt smooth.

As for it's appearance: Wow! it is very very pretty. Those pics on page one lack a lot of beauty that comes from seeing it in person.

More to come.

Joe has finished with the bow and will post when he returns. The bow is now with Ryan Adkins and goes to Todd Mendenhall next.

So I had the Kabekona longbow for a few days before I had to leave on a business trip. As always my first impressions of a bow are to the eye appeal of the woods and the workmanship. This bow is very pretty and good workmanship. Over the years I have gone from liking short longbows to now liking longbows between 62-64". I wondered how I would like the 60" version. My mind was put to ease by the first series of arrows out of it. The 60" length felt smooth and stable. The longbow has a early preload of draw which gives it the performance simular to 'fast' bows. The grip was easy to get used to. Handshock was at a minimum and it shot pretty quiet. I liked the longbow and started hitting with accuracy pretty fast. I think it's a winner and I want to thank Greg for making the Test bow available.

Here are some pics.......next to my Thunderhorn they look like cousins     Sorry for the limb tips pic...its not in focus

I am sorry for the delay on my review but football season is my busiest time of year. I did reciee the bow last week but didnt get to shoot it until yesterday. It is a very smooth shooting bow with a great feel. Very little hand shock and a great grip. I will have it in the mail headed to Todd Mendenhall ASAP. Again< Sorry for the delay.

Todd should have the bow now, waiting to hear from him. Bow goes to Steve Dicketts next.

Any updates on this bow ?

Received the bow. Impressed with the craftsmanship and detail. Love the choice of wood and veneers. Bow seemed to shoot faster than any 48 or 50 lb. Bow I have ever shot before.
    I took it hunting and never quite got the hits where I wanted. I shot high. That's just me and the arrows not tuned to the bow. I did take some 25 +yd shots on squirrels though. Of the 4 I shot at. One has a reverse Mohawk, and the other three red squirrels are now grey squirrels cause I did get close shooting that bow. I wouldn't, have attempted it with my personal bow. The bow was smooth, no handshock, fast and quite. I would like to have one of these.
 Looking to ship it out. Who is next and I'll need an address.

Bow is on its way to Katie. Schedule for delivery is this friday the 14th.
Great bow I didn't get to shoot it as much as I wanted due to we had bad weather lots of wind that limited my shooting. But when I did I really liked it the grip on this bow was what I first noticed how it felt, it was also very quiet and dead in the hand. Glad to have had the chance to try this bow out. Great product.

Are you located near LaPort MN?  I fly fish in your namesake river for brooke trout.  Small world.  Do you have a showroom or archery shop that you have your work in that area?  I have a lake cabin near Park Rapids, MN and really love the area and would love to see more of your work.  I did not know there were any boyers in the area, wow really beautiful work.

Will look out for it!
