Well, After afew days of shooting this 60 inch 1pc. recurve.... I can't say enough.
It smokes an arrow. The grip is like it was custome made just for me.It is the best grip I've ever had by far. ... What can I say. I'm in love with this bow. So much so that I just had to buy it.
Fellas if you ain't ordered one yet you better hurry before JD wises up and raises the price. It truely is a diamond in the ruff.
I felt very little had shock and it makes no more noise than my longbow... Don't know how he made a recurve that silent but Whisperstik is true to it's name.
I give it a 10 out of 10.... Really excited about this bow.
Tried shooting 45-50 POC, 50-55 Polars, and 55-60 POC out of this little 54@28 Beauty. It shot them all very well. So much so that I busted up two of my poplar arrows @20 yrds the very first morning. It has really tightened up my groups alot. :clapper:

Padauk w/Ebony Saddle and Zebra wood veneers. Osage limb cores. I'm at work right now and the computer won't let me post pics. But he has a pic of it on his website.
ty, sent ya another PM...marco
Just wondering when JD is going to start sellin t-shirts and bumper stickers for his fans??? Like some of the other bowyers do??? I wear a 3x!
Also JD if'n you need a pro staffer I'm putting my name in da hat right now. :readit:
He has T-shirts and stickers made. They both have the Whisperstik logo on them and are very cool. There is no "prostaff" only certified Testmonkeys. To become a Testmonkey you must first go through a two week training course, and harvest an animal with a Whisperstik. The training is held here in Michigan the first two weeks in October. The bar has now been raised to qulaify for testmonkey as whitebuffalo shot a P&Y Opossum last week with a 60" whisperstik recurve. The only other qualifier is you or significant other must be able to make hotwings.
I need a sticker and t shirt as well....
JD is a talented individual, and I wear a 3X as well...
hint hint..
Sticksonly, see what you can do....
How bout a 35 pound beaver??? 30 yards. Nothing but skull??? With a Snuffer, POC arrows a 60" 54@28 Whisperstik Mojo???? Even with the head shot I still had to wade 300yrds in 30 degree water just to fallow him... Is that give me enough points?? And I'm a lefty??? :biglaugh:

OK, you qualify on 1/3rd of the required criteria up to this point. Nice shot too. Now just to make hot wings and attend approved training course.
I dont think I saw that bow before it left, it is a real beauty! Your right about the grip you have, that is my favorite grip too. I like that one better than the standard grip.
I not on top of my game today or I would have a witty comment about shooting a beaver.
How about I take you to Hooters to cover da hotwings... And we'll drink some beer and talk about da extra credit I might have already done for dat course. ..... What is the name of the grip type JD sent me??? So I can order it next time??? Thought it was the standard grip??? Got to go skin a beaver now. LOL Only got to hunt 30 minutes this morning...
thats so cool...JD is a Really good guy to deal with .... :thumbsup:
That is my signiture grip. The grip on all of my demo bows is my standard grip. If you guys keep buying all of my lefties that I build I'm ganna get lynched by all the rest of the gang lefties. Now I have to go back and build another traveling lefty. I may make the lefty demo one of my 56ers and request the some people with 30" draws test it. JD
String cutter, Here's a couple of pics of the grip on my Mojostik. It's JD's standard grip. I love it! Feels great in the hand and consistently puts my hand in the same place shot after shot.....Fred

JD what's the differance between the one I got and the standard grip???
I wouldn't build the leftie in 56 inches. Might want to build a few more with fancy risers and 60 inches..... I do have a big tax refund... :biglaugh:
How much you chargin for shirts and stickers??? Course us Pro Staffers get it for free??? Right??
Ya gotta get it right if ya want to be a Testmonkey, NO Prostaffers, just Testmonkeys. But, I think no matter your status, if you buy enough bows they are free.
Your bow has the little hoopajoo (laminations) on the bottom of the grip that makes it flatter. Look closer at the two and you will see what I meen.
QuoteI may make the lefty demo one of my 56ers and request the some people with 30" draws test it. JD
Buddy,, you gotta do it,, Would love to here from the 29"+ draw group about a 56"er pulling as smooth as a 60"er,,
Nice bow by the way,, I was lucky enough to spend some time in his shop with him and go over some wood combo's for my new 56"er,, that grip fits right into your hand,,its amazing,, I don't think I've ever been so excited over a bows performance, stability and dead in the hand,,
Again excelent looking bow and good work JD,,JB
String Cutter, if it's beautiful lefties you want, I "gotsit"...Check out the one I just put in the classified. It's a beaut'!!
Send me that 56" test bow. I sure do like the 60" I got. The grip really is great. Everytime I pick up my other bows I just say...Naaa. What do you call the grip on my Oldschool. I am thinking a takedown might be in the future.
Hey fellas, I believe I should get a shirt first! I made JD's trophy page with the 60" righty demo. Not to mention,JD don't shoot me, but I just got done shooting the 56"er. WHEEEEEEEEW WEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have to say for 56" (53 1/2 strung) this bow was straight smooth. I actually thought it was smoother than the 60". I know you all don't believe me, but it's true. I even had the gull to question JD's integrity about the weight. I said there was no way that bow was 60#. Guess what, it was 60#. These are some really nice bows people. Get them while you csan or you'll be sorry. So do I get testmonkey status Sticks? I wear an extra large.
String cutter-Awesome bow man! Congrats!
BTW String cutter, longbowben is going to be mad at you. He's been waiting for that lefty to come his way. I'm telling. :smileystooges:
Im cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!mark#78
I'll take one of those t-shirts in a 2x.
At this point in time, I am the only one who has been Knighted as testmonkey. King Jim is the only one who can bestow this upon you. He also rules the T-shirt and Sticker kingdom.
Dang!!! Wasn't thinkin... Might made his trophy page if I would have taken a pic. of the beaver with the bow instead of a pop bottle?? O Well!I was wet and cold!
I got my sites set on afew groundhogs... Then there's bow fishin @ the James River for gar.... Might even try calling in some crows...Always something to hunt...
C OTT thanks But I already got a picture in my head of my next one....Ebony saddle, tulip wood riser, bambo limb cores w/ ebony veneers and antler tips. Plus tilip wood overlays on the riser.
Anyone got any wild chickens or goats runnin round their place dat needs taken care of??? :campfire:
Here is the great thing about Jim..
The only two things you have to decide on are the draw weight and color of grip... Jim takes care of the rest.,
here are a few pics of my new mojostick.JD makes a great bow!58"45@28 pau ferro riser,ash limbs.absolutely beautiful.

another Lefty , I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
The "Old Schools" have the signiture grip. Any thing that comes without the leather option is a signiture grip. JD
:biglaugh:

:biglaugh: I WANT A T-SHIRT,,LOL
I got a muskrat with mine.Almost as good as a beaver or Possum.Probably better than a possum actually.I wanna T-shirt too!
You got that muskrat in a state that allows that correct...hint hint.
You guys sure are keeping JD busy...
Said that tonque in cheek.I dont hunt muskrats.Never would unless starving in the wilderness.Trapped a few when I was a Spring Chicken.Heard they taste like chicken.These Whisperstiks are SWEEET shooters!Had mine for 2 days and get along well with it.Should make some meat with it no problem this fall.lives up to its name.It is a quiet shooter no doubt.
I'd be glad to buy one of those t-shirts. Sounds like you would have a bunch sold already JD.
Only game in hunting season counts. No tweetie birds String Cutter! I made this rule up about 3 seconds ago! :bigsmyl:
I have large and X-large tshirts in stock. They are $20 to your door. If I can sell enough I will order some XX and XXX. Just send me $20 and your address and I'll get them going. They are black with a red logo. I thought that I sent you a shirt already Steelhead. Email me I I didn't. JD
So,
How many x-l shirts do I have to order so you can then order 3XXX, Stoudt, Extra Short, in Olive Green, with a Khaki Colored Lgo, and a
Bumper sticker???
