Box from Jack Kempf!!!!!!!
« on: April 28, 2013, 12:59:00 PM »
I actually got this about 3-4 weeks ago but have been unable to post pics as of yet. All I can say is it was worth the 14 month wait.

Always nice to see this when you get home from work.

Now I was real nervous about the woods on this bow. I usually pick out my woods before the bow is made. Jacks a little primative so pics were not available!lol But knowing his bows I told him what I was looking for with the wood combinations and said let er rip!
He nailed it to a T!!!!!  I could not have asked for anything different if I was standing next to him.
The bow is a 56" Kwyk Styk 58@28 with static tips. The riser is made from Gaboon Ebony and Blk/White ebony with the limbs Blk/White ebony.
I've owned alot of bows and maybe it's a little too early to tell. But this one could very well be the most pleasant,smooth,accurate,quiet,fast,shooting bow I have ever shot. I'm already shooting this bow accurately out to 30-35 yards. Enjoy the pics:

I have to tell you,I was not sure about the static tips and all the hype. When I first pulled this bow back I would have swore that Jack missed weight by 3-5 lbs. When I put it on my Easton digital scale (that is dead accurate) it read 58.3 on the average. Hows that for hitting it right. I'm a believer in the static tips now.

I want to thank the gangers that helped me out on this. I solicited intel from several members on this style of bow with the reverse limbs. A special thanks goes to Curt(Guru) who I bugged through texts,PM's,phone calls,  he helped me on my final decision. Thanks Bud!!! All I can say is get on the long list while you can!!!! I'm back on it already    :bigsmyl:

At 82 yrs Jack may forget a few things here and there but he never misses the weight.

Your bow is gorgeous and glad your enjoying shooting it so much. Was it worth the wait?    :laughing:

Now you need to hit the woods and get some blood on it....Good luck with it.

Man that is pretty. Jacks bows are one I want to try someday. I bet you will like the bow with reverse mounted limbs. It is a forgiving design.
