I ordered a static recurve last spring to match my Sasquatch target bow Kirk made for me last year. Well I picked it up last week and was not disappointed. The satin finish doesn't bring out the wood grain like the gloss does but it is still very pretty. I've only shot 4 arrows though it due to a broken ankle, but I'm very impressed so far. The first thing I noticed how quiet it is, probably even more so than my Sasquatch. From the numbers Kirk gave me on how fast it is I'm more than satisfied. I know I'm a little biased because I consider Kirk a friend but he has always been a pleasure to work with. I'm hoping he will post a few pics for me, hope you enjoy them.
:dunno: No pics?
OK Kirk, give em up bud!
Bill, Great to hear about the new bow. Sorry about the ankle though Bro.
God bless, Steve
Thanks Steve, it is a bummer getten old, especially when you have a new bow that you can't shoot.
Your in for a real treat with the SS recurve. Love mine and the SS ILF limbs Kirk made for me. Congrats on a super performing bow in all aspects.
Ok guys here's a few pics.... I have the DFC chart for the one piece SS RC i'll post after i get it uploaded...

Very nice match. Great job Kirk. Now which one's the quietest? We know they smoke!
I'm waiting on the SEMI-static RC limbs for my SAS LB riser...
I'll lower poundage for the upcoming years and those days Uncle Arty-ritis comes to visit and chooses to hang around a while...
I fully know that the lighter limbs will show amazing performance... Kirk keeps pushing to find out what works and why...then adapts that to other designs and tests them to death, too!
A nice work of art, congrats
Nice bows!
Great looking bows!
That walnut is killer. I really like the white tips with it.
God bless, Steve

I did those spliced limb veneers for Bill a year ago for his Hybrid long bow & saved some to match his new SS here. That was some cool looking curly maple.
Here are the two side by side....

Un real. over 96 percent Stored energy is getting about as good as possible. No one should wonder why they are shooting high. My only question is how many people is Kirk going to have to hire to keep up with the orders.
Next thing you know he will have to have a factory and dust walk around and tell everyone what to do.
God bless and Happy New Year, Steve

Now, Steve, can you truly visualize Herr Kirk actually keeping his mitts off a bow and allowing others to work their magic?
I sure hope he grows a pop off valve tween now and then... he'll stroke out! :scared: :rolleyes: :knothead: :laughing:
Patiently waiting ! Now after seeing the charts , excitement is building. I've got some ILF limbs being built.
Hope Kirk and family have a restful holiday and is ready to hit the trail running . I know he is going to get busier after seeing these beautiful bows .
Great looking bows n wood combos :thumbsup:
Sweet looking bows, Kirk!
Love walnut! :thumbsup:
Hey Bill i've been working with a couple other bowyers & engineers on updating my spread sheet for the DFC charts. Evidently there was an error that wasn't calculating the stored energy correctly and effecting the Dynamic efficiency shown..... I thought i better post an updated corrected version. i have edited the previous DFC chart post...... Sorry for the ooops!
