Title: Whisperstik Lefty Demo
Post by: longbowjim on March 16, 2008, 06:56:00 PM
Ok everyone it is finally ready.  Stringcutter has the bow right now and will be sending it to the first lefty on the list.  The bow is a little heavier that the RH demos, but I was told that you guys are stronger anyways.  It is 54#@28".  Here are the rules.

1)  Keep the bow no longer than a week, and send it to the next guy on the list(a few days would be great since the next person will be impatiently waiting).

2)  Ship the bow insures via the US Postal Servive for $400.

3)  Keep the bow sock and the stringer with the bow.

4)  Keep me posted to the where abouts of the bow.

5)  If you need to contact me please use my email instead of PM.

6)  Have fun and try to get me some trophy pics for my website.  Even if it is a possum.  LOL.

If it doesn't look like this when you get it they sent you the wrong bow.  LOL

Enjoy-  JD

I'd love to have a chance to shoot this bow, but I'm recovering from surgery and won't be able to shoot for at least another month or 2.

I will contact Longbowjim and ask him he minds if I keep it an extra week so that people at whittingham can try it out.  After all, it is a demo bow.

I just got permission to keep the bow through the Whittingham, NJ shoot.  Anyone that wants to fling some arrows will be more than welcome to.  I plan on being there at least for saturday and most likely sunday as well.  If you want to shoot this bow, it would be best to be there on saturday.

No problem. I'm expecting some AD traditional arrows to arrive this week and hope that I can get them tuned well enough to try out of the bow.
Title: Re: Whisperstik Lefty Demo
Post by: pdk25 on April 14, 2008, 07:05:00 PM
Got my AD traditional arrows that Ted Fry made up and the demo bow when I got home from work.  Here are some pics.  By the way, this bow weighs next to nothing.  I can't shoot until tomorrow because I have to do my taxes tonight, but I'm looking forward to it.

Taxes done. Will shoot tomorrow.  Curious to see how this shoots.  Still can't get over how light it feels.
Title: Re: Whisperstik Lefty Demo
Post by: pdk25 on April 15, 2008, 10:20:00 PM
Shot the bow today.  Shoots very well.  No hand shock and quiet.  Even though the grip is quite different from my other bows I was able to pick the bow up and shoot about as well with this as with my other bows.  Incredibly light.  I shot both this bow and my vortex and shot quite a few arrows.  I guess I got a little tired and my concentration wavered because I finished off not shooting quite as well as when I started.  Not bad, but just not as good.  I should know better.  I still finished up well, but really had to concentrate on my form.  Probably the light weight of the bow magnifies my technique flaws.  All in all a very nice bow.  I plan on shooting it some more but really recommend anyone not on the list that is left handed give this bow a try at Whittingham.  My grizzlystik alaskans and AD trads both fly well out of this bow with brass inserts and 125 grain tips, but my arrows are 30 3/4" long and I'm drawing a little over 29".

Picked up the bow from the Post Office on Tuesday.  All I can say is WOW, talk about a great shooting bow.  The bow fit me just perfect.  I shot Heritage 150's from it, they flew just great.  I plan on putting some AD Trads and Cedars thru it next.  After the auction JD will be getting a call from me.

Looks like mnbwhtr is next on the list.

Thanks JD for offering this bow to try out.

JD

Thanks again for the opportunity to try this bow. It's smooth drawing, no stacking, no hand shock and fast. And I have to say it is a beautiful piece of workmanship.  

Here's a photo from this morning. *  

(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h300/Quackup/100_2415.jpg)

* All shots are simulated. Truth be known, Noelkman can't hit the broadside of a barn. Sometimes, when he gets up in the morning, his feet miss hitting the floor. A group like this is beyond his wildest dream.

Post by: DeerSpotter on June 24, 2008, 12:46:00 PM
Man it is a good thing I can't shoot left-handed also, I couldn't afford it !  Having righthanded and lefthanded bows,

But since all you guys are lefthanded, that right hand is for picking up the phone and dialing the number, go ahead, get it over with, it's going to happened, your going to order one, I know

I have two whisperstiks, they are just a piece of work, to look at, and shoot.  When I shot mine at the Coon Rapids shoot, I had 4 guys around me in a hurry that wanted to shoot mine, because of it being so quiet.

Can't say enough about those bows, OK OK, I only have one whisperstik right now, my other one is on its way when JD gets it finished.

And I didn't even shoot the demo, all I did was, go on to the thread, now that's a powerful "stick"

And I just figure I had to have one, can't wait to get my # 2 whisperstik bow.


Fantastic job JD

I'm with Carl.  I do have two and they shoot exactly the same.  Ones a 56" the other a 58".  I also have a blacktail, and a widow.  If I had to choose one bow only, I'd have a hard time deciding on which of the Whisperstiks to keep.

And I have a Whisperstik coming, and I think it will be here before July 20, hopefully.  This is going to be a great birthday.

J.D. does fantastic work, I already have one hanging on my rank   :bigsmyl:  

But this one that is on its way, it's pretty special.

Don't forget, when you sent the bow to the next person, make your order, they are the smoothest, fastest, and quietest bow of there !
