Title: What two piece would be similar to the Kanati
Post by: TDHunter on March 22, 2019, 01:30:22 PM

I've got a 29.5" draw and one of my all time favorite bows is my 60" Kanati. It's only flaw is that it's not a 2 piece. I do a lot of Mountain Hunting and having the ability to take the bow down is a must , so I can use walking sticks to pack a load down the mountain.
Looking for opinions on what bows you think might feel similar to the Kanati but that come in a 2 piece option.
my preference would be the sleeve system as I have owned several and love them. I have no experience with the bow bolt system.
Thanks Gents

Someone can put a bow bolt in it. But it would be painful to think of someone sawing into one of my Kanatis!
I have wondered the same thing. I think I'd go with a Centaur if I really wanted a 2 pc. He has a nice looking takedown system. (never had a Centaur but it look a lot like a Kanati)

I will suggest the JavaMan Elkheart with the bow bolt system. I shoot a 58" with my 30" draw and love it.

I love the Centaurs but I don't like the take down systems that requires a tool. If Centaur used a system that didn't require an allan-key I'd own one!

Is the finish even dry on your thinderchild? We may need to arrange an intervention for you mate.

to me the Java man Falcon is similar. I own a 60" Toelke Whistler and is a nice bow. Those Kanatis are built like tanks ,with an awesome natural point grip.

I've never shot or owned a Kanati, but I can tell you the whistler is the finest bow I've tried. I'm shooting a 60" with 29" draw. Will eventually get a 58" takedown as well.

Have had 15 Toelke's, last two being Whistler's. They are 58" at my 29+ draw. My next Whistler will be a 2-piece with Dan's bow-bolt system. A touch faster than the Whip but just as quiet. An absolute joy to shoot.
