I'm in love with a static tip recurve, Hill Counry!
« on: May 29, 2015, 08:22:00 AM »
Those of you who have followed 5 Pines farm know that 2 years ago I purchased one of R0man's 3 pc Bobcats. That bow is a simple affair of Osage and Cocobolo. The year following I had Roman build me a set of recurve limbs for it.

That riser and limb combos have put 5 deer in the freezer the last 2 years. I love the way that bow hunts.

I have a moose hunt this fall and decided I wanted one of his Bobcats with static tips for this hunt.

I requested dark woods and something with a bit more mass in the riser.

The bow arrive last week just in time for the final week of turkey hunting here.

The Brazilian Rosewood handle with just a bit of Ebony is beautiful to say the least. The Cocobolo Veneers on the limbs is the Reddest I have ever seen! The heft of it is lovely in the hand.

This bow is very smooth and quite fast! I think the moose are going to be I trouble.

Very nice. I too have fallen in love with a static tip recurve... happens to be a Jack Kempf Kwyk Styk. I bought a used one and like it so well, I've got one on order.

That is a beautiful bow!

I also have the static tip fever.  I purchased a Tuktu EX last year and it has quickly become my favorite hunting weapon.  I wish Abe made a silver fox model with static tips for traveling as that would be a no-brainer.

Still love my longbows but these static tip recurves, for me, just shoot best.

Nice Jim,

How do static tips compare to your normal recurve tipped limbs? Same wood cores and poundage?

That is a great looking stick! I've been wanting to try one of these real bad. What are the specs? Length of the riser? And can we get a full draw pic?

I like static tips, Have a RER, Stalker, and 3 sets of ILF Dryad limbs. Taking the ILF rig on a bear hunt in 2 weeks. Great  looking bow Jim.

I am so jealous, I can't seem to be able to get a set of statics for my Bobcat. Now that he added that little swoop to the riser, I might have him make me a new riser as well.

That's a beauty Jim.

I started a second job a couple months ago to help send my daughter through college, so I didn't get to see this bow before it was sent out.
