First bow purchase: Kwyk Styk
« on: April 17, 2015, 09:23:00 AM »
After reading some of the reviews on a Kwyk Styk, I knew I had to at least try one out.  Well a kwyk search on google revealed there aren't many going up on the classifieds of any site, which validated even more my desire to get one and try it out!

Well after a year or so search, I finally found one to purchase(leather wall).  I contacted the seller, exchanged a few texts, and BOOM, it is headed towards me today.

Here are a few pictures of the bow.  I do not believe it is the most beautiful bow in the woods, but i don't think the animals will mind.  I am hoping this will be my "go-to" bow from here on out.  

A 58" #51@27 (I draw to 29 Kwyk Styk)  As stated above, this is my first bow purchase and I am excited to say the least!

 

 

 

 

If anyone knows the bow woods, feel free to enlighten me.  I would love to know.

Nice bow...and I bet you will like how they shoot.

I would guess cocobolo for the wood.

Looks like Cocobolo riser and wedges, antler thumb ledge, limbs could be red elm stained to match the riser, static limb tips. You got a good deal on this bow as the previous owner takes great care of all his bows. He turned into a longbow shooter.

AD Trad lites(35/55) cut 30.5" with 250 grains up front should fly great from this bow along with tapered Doug Fir spined 60/65.

Hey Joe. You make it sound like I committed a sin. HaHa! I still have the Blacktail and the Border so I haven't completely lost my mind. You gotta make it to Whittingham. Won't be the same without you.

Great condition, hope it serves you well. Looks like patience paid off. Second hand is a great way to go most of the time.

I had a pretty serious look at that one but I finally got mine a few months ago...when one lives near Jack and shoots with him sometimes it is pretty much mandatory to own one of his bows...amazing gentleman still building bows at 83 years young

You will like!

LOL

Love my Kwyk Styk.  Just freakishly smooth and quiet for a recurve.

Good choice!

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.
