Title: 60" Whisperstik Demo Review
Post by: leatherneck on March 01, 2008, 01:28:00 PM
I received the bow the other day and was pleased to shoot a lighter bow with my recovering elbow. First off I would like to comment on the craftsmanship. This bow was just plain nice! From the wood combinations to the horn tips. JD"s craftsmanship is top notch.
As mentioned before, the handle was a little different. But after shooting it a while, it felt pretty good. My hand slid into place everytime. The bow drew from start to finish "smooth". There was no stacking ,it was consistent the whole way back. For a light bow(weight) I was surprised of the lack of hand shock.    :thumbsup:  And speed, this thing was a burner. I was jolting a 600 grain arrow with ease and it was quite fast. As far as bow noise, NONE!
I must say that this bow was a pleasure to shoot and I can forsee one in my arsenol real soon. I won't wait too long because from what I can tell, JD's going to have a bunch of orders once people get there hands on this bow. Thanks again JD.
BTW-heres a pic of a field trial I conducted  :goldtooth:Every bow needs a name and I named this one "Bunny Buster"( at least to me) hence the picture.I'll be shipping the bow to the next person Monday....Mike

JD is building a bow a day on average to keep up. Along with a full time job and a family. He loves building bows and hearing all the good things people are saying about his workmanship. He was going home to finish a couple more tonight after our little bunny hunt this morning. He builds a mean bow.

I'm hoping to get my hands on one of these bows, but looking at the line, it will be at least this summer.  What's that old saying? "Good things come to those who wait."

I signed up for this demo and I think I made the cut off. Where is the bow now and who is shipping it to me. I want to make sure I know when to watch for the mailman, LOL.

Just got the bow today. Nice looking bow. My hand fits right into the hand grip. I was shooting some 30" 2016's with 145gr up front into my target as soon as I got the bow out of the box. The bow is real quiet with the fur silencers. Seems pretty fast too. Also very light weight. Over all very nice bow. I'm going to shoot it a few days and I'll send it out to the next person by weeks end.  Great job JD, thanks for letting us share the Mojo stick.    :clapper:
