Jimmy,

The Kabekona was the first Custom bow I ever shot. It was an excellent shooting bow. It was a buddies and it was an older one made by Jason Kendal.  If he didnt sell it before I knew it was for sale, I may have tried to get it from him.  

From what I hear they are still great bows.
Relax,

Here's a pic of my Tomahawk Legacy series. Quite a bit of d/r to this bow but it almost braces to a d shape.

It does look almost like a d shape longbow.  Is it the one which you mentioned shoots slower than the diamond series? Do you have pictures of the other one?

If they get any more agressive than this one they get called a recurve. But talk about sweet shooting and pulling. these are the first three shots by the new owner. He sent it to me and was kinda proud of himself. I don't blame him. LOl.
God bless you, Steve

Nice! Though it's stretching the definition of a longbow. Or maybe that's a recurve that thinks it's a longbow? Made by Kirk?
