Looks CAN Kill! (pics of my new beauty)

Wow, that bow looks awesome!

[Doc Nock]

R/D longbows do have some string touch, depending on brace.  NOT AMO or IBO competition legal, but Kirk makes those competition bows, too.

Thinner limbs, quiet... all the things that my past recurves lacked...  So to me, MINE is a Sasquatch LONG bow.  

Your view may differ.

Paul, very beautiful.
You should be proud, and I hope it works wonders for you.

Wow, that's definitely a beauty! Don't know how missed this yesterday but, congrats on your new bow.      

[Pheonixarcher]

I'm glad you all like her. I sure do. I know it's a stetch calling her a long bow, but that's what I bought her as. Maybe I'll have to call her a long curve?  Speaking of curves, her's are down right stunning.
 
 
I'm very much looking forward to shooting her at some longer yardage. I did take one shot the other night at about 40, and darn near shot over the top. I think I'm gonna try some heavier arrows soon and see how she likes them.
The limb bolt overlays were Kirk's idea.

Beautiful Bow! That is a work of art.        

[sticksnstones]

Wow, Kirk really nailed it on those limb bolts! Ya know I love the zebra/bocote combo too. What's working in the middle of your limbs?

Both sets of limbs are bamboo cores, zebra veneers, and clear glass.

DANG!!!!!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Nice, but why do you call it a longbow? At best it's a hybrid recurve.  

Landman,

Actually this is what I call a hybrid long bow. The narrow width profile and deep core limb design is what really makes the difference from an average recurve limb which are thinner core and much wider.

But... it really depends on what brace height you like. When these are braced lower than 7.5" the string is laying on the belly side of the limb for an inch or so... This technically classifies it as a recurve.... at 7.5" and above the string comes right off the tip notches an it becomes a hybrid long bow.....


Hey Paul,
Considering all the pictures and such.... is it a safe bet saying that you kind of like your new bow?

[Pheonixarcher]

As soon as I get some time, I will delve deeper into the details of her handling, performance, and manners.  She may be beautiful to look at, but its her shootability that really sets her a cut above the rest.

[Pheonixarcher]

I was wondering when you were going to make an appearance Kirk. Yes, that would be the understatement of the year. Lol. Thanks again Kirk, not only is she drop dead gorgeous, she knows her a way around the kitchen! A keeper on all accounts.

[VictoryHunter]

absolutely stunning!

[Atennishu]

Pretty bow!  I have a pair of Saquatches one take down and the other a one piece ,  they are extremely good shooters,  Congrats on an awesome bow!

[Bill Watts II]

Wow! That is a great looking bow!

[elknutz]

What a great looking bow!  I'm sure it will shoot just as good. I shot a round with Kirk at the Western States shoot a couple of weeks ago and swapped a few elk hunting stories.  He's a real nice guy and a great bowyer.  I'm saving my penny's for a Bigfoot hybrid     longbow now.
