Hey fellas, I have a new SS takedown recurve on the way today. Anyone out there own one of these or ever shot one ? What brace height are you shooting at ? Never owned one of these and anxious to try her out !! Thanks for any imput, James
Congrats!
Please post Pics.
James I have a Sasquatch TD longbow and all I can say is your gonna love it.
Very nice. Soon I will have ones as well :) I will watch this thread!
I'm not sure how to post pics here, been to long since I posted any !! Kirk sent me some pics and should have the bow by Thursday
Don't open that box!
You'll never get over the woe and grief that bow will cause as you start to ignore your family, your job, etc. so you can spend all your days shooting your new bow. Just send it to me, unopened, and spare yourself. :D

No Problem at all. If I shall post the pics for you, send an PM I will send you my emailadress, send me the pictures and I will post them. :)
A better way to go, send my the whole bow and I will do some pictures for you. Needs its time but you will get him back.......maybe. :biglaugh:
The SS recurve is a great bow. Kirk knows his bows best so ask what he prefers on brace for your bow. I run mine at 7 1/2 but I believe he said 7 1/4- 7 1/2. Since you WILL be shooting it a lot, hard to put down its so smooth on the back end of the draw, adjust brace to give the quietest and most shock free shot. Have fun and we need pics.
Nice bow!!
Here ya go.

Thanks for posting the pics Skitch. Supposed to get it Friday ! I have a Birthday on the 26th of this month.... what a fine bday present !!!
Nice one, but come one some specs like wood drawwight..etc. would be great.
Good looking bow right there!
James,
I had the pleasure of shooting several of his SS at B;more years back when Kirk first brought them into existence
I was shooting well past my comfort draw weight with that design.
As already posted, Kirk is the person to ask. Each bow has it's own personality and he shoots and finds a "right" brace for each one, so trust what HE tells you!
You will not be disappointed. I have a deposit on a set of the SEMI-Static limbs for my Sas LB and will get my riser to him directly to have them custom fitted.
I'm dropping weight (Again) and due for another round of rotator surgery this summer, so may need to hunt those lighter Semi-SS limbs this fall... I have seen the performance #'s and they're impressive at any weight!
Got it today !! Already shot about a dozen arrows through it !! What a hot rod !! 58" & 50# @ 27 inches. This thing is a rocket launcher and quite possibly the quietest bow I've ever owned and I've owned about every one on the market !!
Doc I feel your pain on those shoulder issues, I've had 3 surgeries on my right shoulder !! The wonderful perks of a lifetime of working on an oil rig !! I've always seemed to bounce back and get back comfortable with my normal bow weight. Last surgery must have finally helped !! Now it's back issues !! Waiting to get an MRI as we speak !!
Fogot to add the riser on the bow is Leopard wood
Your statement convinced me to have ordered the right bow.
Just a few days.... an than :biglaugh:
Enjoy shooting!!
Flat Rock, don't make us beg... do the right thing and post some photos!

Living alone the non use 6 week recovery is more a concern then the surgery.
I got all the back stuff. Had surgery, Uncle Arty-Ritis came to visit years ago and buggar won't go home! :scared:
Mark, Pics on page one...
Magnon boat: here ya go!

I contacted Kirk at Big Foot bows and asked about the Bear TD limbs he was building. He told me that he used the same SS limb design on those RC limbs, and that he has a few sets of long bow limbs he's working on right now.
i can't decide whether to buy some of the RC limbs, or wait for the long bow limbs to come out. He has a couple sets of RC limbs in stock, but i have to wait until June for the long bow limbs.
