Title: Got my JavaMan Elkheart magnum today!
Post by: johnnyk71 on February 09, 2026, 06:51:48 PM
This thing is an absolute tack driver, right out of the box! With no tinkering other than an estimated arrow length and point weight, I was slamming bullseyes at 20 and 25 yards from the first shot. The thing is absolutely tiny and feather light. 52" long, 51#@28". Threw on a GT trad blem, 32.5", 125 weight field point (will cut this down and add point weight ASAP). It also doesn't hurt that it is a complete work of art. Gregg is amazing.  :archer2:

@Maclean, thank you for all the advice and pics! I ended up getting myrtle burl and G10 in the riser, and lightly stained olive ash limb veneers, along with moose antler overlays on the handle and tips. I love it!

That's a sweet looking rig Johnny! Gregg never disappoints.

I have the same impressions of the 52" Magnum, I'm simply amazed by how well this short bow shoots. It puts a smile on my face every time I shoot it. Gregg Coffey is a genius.

I'll be sharing some new pics any day now.   :archer2:
