Kanati?
« on: January 06, 2013, 02:04:00 PM »
What are your thoughts on the Kanati? I am looking hard at a Hill style bow, but the longest bow I have shot is a 64". I prefer a shorter bow especially for hunting. I do love the look of the Hill style bows and have shot them before and they are so quite.

I am aksing about the Kanati but if there is another bow that is similar let me hear about it. I want smooth, quite, little to no stacking. I am not a speed demon but if it can be had and not give up the smooth and quite aspect I am up for that as well.

Bows I have owned or own are Toelke super D, Wilderness longbow no longer made, Kota longbow, Bama hunter, Ferguson patriot,Northern mist Baraga, Thunderstick mag, Tomahawk bow, RER, Shrew SS, Legend LB. I am sure I am missing something but this was just to give you a idea of what I have shot or owned.

The kanati is considered one of the all time best hunting bows by many folks and by me also . Do a search and you will get all the info you need .

Not sure how similar but take a look at Leon Stewart s longbows.They are smooth,quiet,No stacking ,no handshock and do very well in performance.I have owned a few and I am shooting his one piece slammer right now and couldnt be happier.Check out his website I believe he is a sponsor here.

At first I didn't like my Kanati. Then I realized that you aren't supposed to grip it like a standard longbow but rather like a recurve. I have since fallen in love with mine. The only drawback is that it is very light which might be a turnoff for some.

Love love love mine. It's an incredible smooth shooting bow. Do a search.  You'll see most agree. Nothing at all like a hill style bow

A kanati is at the top of my "to try out" bows.

Just looks like a great design.

Ralph, I think I may have taken the Thunderstick mag off of your hands. It has been a while but that was a good shooting bow. I guess with your comment on the MOAB it stands up to your draw length. How have you been lately?

I have shot MANY,MANY bows! That being said, I am now a Kanati fan! I don't shoot anything else these days. They have everything a bowhunter could want!

I have one of Jason's first bows ; they where called [J.K.Traditions] back then it's the only bow I've shot ever since buying it in Jason's back yard . Fell in love with it then and still is the most accurate ; quite no hand shock bow I personally have ever shot . For price ; quality of workmanship ;you will never find a better bow [IMO] .
