yep, satin finish..when I'd first talked to Kirk, he said that his 58" bow would give me the most speed,and the 60" would have a little sweeter draw. At first I told him I wanted the 58", but after thinking about it for a bit..I know I shoot a 60" a little better so that's what we went with.
Now on to how it shoots, bow is very dead in the hand, no percievable vibration at the shot at all..I like that. Kirk speaks of his bows being fast, and this one is no exception, I've shot and owned a ton of bows, and this one is right up there with the fastest of them. Stable? yep.
Now about the limbs, some bows with foam and carbon have more of a "tink" sound than a "thunk" and these limbs are no exception, I've got it quieted down pretty well, but still getting a little bit of a tink sound, at first I thought it was coming from the limb tips (the string does lay on the belly of the limbs for about an inch or so), but afterr playing around with brace heigth and silencer placement I think the sound that's left is coming from between the limb butts and the riser. I'm going to check with Kirk and see if it's ok to put a thin piece of cork between the butts and the riser, I'm convinced that this will reduce the sound to a mere thunk.
ended up with 400 easton axis 29.5"bop with 225 grain tips, total arrow eight with fletching and wraps is 535 grains and it is really spitting them. lazer beam flight, got em tiped with centaur big game heads, no doubt in my mind they will blow through a whitetail in the blink of an eye.
over all I'm pretty impressed with the bow, one of the fastest I've owned or shot without loosing any stability.
one last think, Kirk says he builds these to a persons draw..which isn't really all that common, and I believe it's true, I pulled it back to 28" and you can feel the weight start to build..so it's nice to know I'm getting all the bow has to give at my 27" draw.
