Alright i finally got some time yesterday to setup both sets of limbs. i will give you an update on my preliminary review of this bow.
My favorite part of this bow is the grip (no real change from my previous VK's) the grip just is simply the best i have ever felt. so repeatable and stable.
i am not sure how chris does it my the mass weight on this bow is incredible - i have a couple other macassar and BW ebony bows and they are just not that heavy. again not sure if he puts lead in there or what but i really like the mass.
Those two features allow this bow to be so accurate - once i figured out that it liked weaker spine arrow. This bow flat out shoots consistently - it will put an arrow where i am looking every time.
I know everyone is wondering about the recurve limbs and the amazing thing to me is that i have the recurve limbs quieter than the LB limbs. The recurve limbs are very quiet for recurve limbs and i am far from being final "tuned". The limbs are very smooth on the draw and seem to be faster than the LB limbs ( as chris said they would be).
The build quality is awesome - fit and finish is perfect. The macassar is stunning and the use of bocote on the recurve was a great last minute idea. kinda wish i would have got both limbs in bocote. Chris's bocote is second to none that i have seen. The lines on this bow are just cool - i love the look of this bow!
Now for a couple things i have not figured out yet:
the LB are not quiet, not close to previous VK LB limbs - i know they will be quiet but right now they are not and it is driving me crazy. I ordered a diff string from Alan hoping that will do the trick. cannot remember if previous VK had chris string or some one elses. I talked to chris last night and got some things to try this week.
Lastly the speed is a little less than i was hoping for - when tuned it will do a little better but it is really not as fast as i had hoped for. The bow is plenty fast and compared to most it is fast, but i think Steve and Kirk may have spoiled me in this department
As many of you know there is something about these bows - they are special and just feel soooo good to shoot. Tough to get but worth it if you can.
let me know what questions you have and i will try to answer them.
