Bet it does not look a lot different from the Sasquatch SS Kirk has/had for sale in the sponsor classifieds...looking forward to seeing how he interprets your request

Iroko riser. I'm not much for fancy, just something deadly. I've heard good things about his bows. I've never had a bow made for me, getting excited.

It is the hybrid longbow. I am looking forward to it. Hoping to do an elk hunt again in 2015. Son is getting married this Sept. Shortcoming in his upbringing. Who gets married in elk season?

Compared to many on this site, I don't have many bows, but I don't think I've even HELD any of the other few I had, since I got my Sasquatch LB!

Even sold one of my main bows...    :eek:  

A custom Kirk Grip will spoil a body rotten...And the performance in his design made me bump up spine one full click even though I dropped below 50# draw weight...!

Hang tough...time is your friend in Kirk's hands!

I am getting a custom grip. We have talked about arrows, I might have to lose head weight or go up in spine. Your review Doc got me thinking of a Sasquatch. You should tell Kirk you want a commission. Thanks

LOL... Good one, Chain2!

I'll tell you this... my "commission" was receiving a bow that a)FIT where I'd been frustrated too many times before and b)at only 47#, out shot every bow I've owned even back when I could handle greater draw weight!

Going up in spine to harness the efficiency of Kirk's limbs is pretty worthwhile to achieve more efficiency for the exertion in draw weight.  

I just happened to be lucky.  I went from 400 to 340 and only had to add 1/2" in length but also added 25 gr. to my front weight.

But then I'm one of those EFOC junkies and we don't want to talk about that

IMHO, Sasquatch and Eaglewing are the two best bows made. I own one of both and they are the best, you will not be disappointed.

I have been shooting full length GT Trads 55/75's with 100gr brass insert and 250 gr head. Kirk thought I might have to increase spine or decrease point weight
