Title: New to me, JavaMan Elkheart
Post by: pdk25 on July 05, 2016, 10:08:00 PM
And looks brand new, as well.  Did some reading and selling. And would up with this beauty.  56", 54@28", so maybe 57-58# at my draw.  Very nice bacote limbs, looks like buff tips, phenolic riser with bowbolt.

Congrats on that find! Been watching for one myself. 3 bows that I would like to try are the Elkheart, the Pika and the Thunderchild. I think the two piece would be great.

Pat,I really like my Elkheart,is so smooth and incredibly accurate, something you wouldn't expect from such a short and light bow. The td system is the best for me.

Aren't they sweet? Mine's 2" shorter, but I only draw 28". Definitely my "go to" hunting bow now.

I was just entertaining this very thing... you may have just pushed me over the edge.

At a 28" draw do you feel any sense of finger/string pinch?

Thanks everyone.  As to a question above, I draw around 29.25" with this bow.  I don't notice any finger pinch, but some are more sensitive to it .  I don't notice any stacking either, but this is a fairly lightweight bow, so I might not notice it if it was present.  It shoots very well for a short bow, and the weight of the phenolic and a bowbolt on the riser make it a little more forgiving than you would expect.

Awesome bow !  Congratulations On a great find. Mr. Coffee's bow are the best. Form, fit and finish the best bowyer to work with.

have you weight the bow? curious how much heavier the phen riser makes it.  

Beatiful limbs on that bad boy! congrats.
