Ever been completely bowled over by a new bow? I mean 'open-mouth-shock-wasn't-expecting-that' blown away?
If not, try a Kanati.
I just received one, an hour ago, from Elksong that I traded a fast recurve for & I can't get the grin off my face!
This thing is FAST! I mean like, up there with Morrison fast. It's by far & away the lightest weight bow I've ever owned. Even wth my 4-arrow EFA quiver strapped to the off-side it's lik a feather. A fast feather. A fast feather with no handshock at all that hits exactly where I'm looking & stacks me a 3" group at 20yds!!! :eek: :eek:
The grip is natural, instinctive, secure & instantly repeatable (Very Shrew-esque) This is a keeper for sure! Can't wait to hunt with it now :D
Jason, you have my heartfelt thanks & eternal gratitude Brother :notworthy:
So where are the pics? :saywhat:
Rob I think you forgot something...Where's the pics...You got me going now and I would love to see it...thanks bd
PICS???
What are the specs, I think I may have owned that one too. They are a great bow and a great value.
Tommorow folks! (It's dark here!) :biglaugh:
Specs are; 58" 57#@28" (63#@30")
Yup Rob those Kanati bows are sweet hearts for sure. :thumbsup:
Im a big Kanati fan , had my Kanati only one week and killed a very nice buck with it at 25 yards . Its a very easy longbow to shoot and not picky about arrow spine or maybe I just got it right with the first arrow combo . The Kanati is just flat out a hunters bow for sure .

Can't agree more. It is my second favorite behind my Cheyenne and I've tried a few.
is it really that good Rob? iv always liked the look of them, mainly because them seem very similar to a Shrew
I had a 58" er once I got from Arwin. Smoothest short bow I ever shot.Should have kept it.RC
way to go brother. :archer:

Absolutley Andy.
You know how some bows are exactly as yu'd expect? Like you buy a Shrew
because you know the grip is excellent. You buy a Carbon/foam Morrison
because you know it's fast.
With the Kanati I was expecting it to be slower & heavier. I mean actionwood generally
is fairly heavy compared to most hardwoods & with plain old bamboo limb cores (After shooting carbon anyway) I wasn't expecting blistering speed. Adequate, but not 'fast'.
It's really surpried me how nice this little bow is! It's really simple with no fancy woods but the build quality is just amazing. The grip fits like a custom tailored kid glove. The finish is wierd, it's a sort of textured laquer that has zero reflection & just feel 'right' in the hand.
I suppose that I am overdrawing the bow slightly (JK recommend the 58" bow for upto a 29" draw & I'm honking it back to 30") but it's really, really smooth & there's no stack at all. If it was a 2-piece, I really think it'd be my 'Perfect Bow' It really is that good.

Nice quiver too.
very nice, nice shooting
geez you are putting some bend in those limbs.
wel you'l have to hurry up and get over here so i can try it out on some howgs you gonna take it to Texas? :D
Hey Rob! If you can stretch out a little more at full draw you could probably get the limb tips to touch. That would make it a lot faster!!
:D
They are some sweet bows...congrats!
I sold the one I had and ordered a bit lighter weight. I can't wait to get it. I have owned a Shrew and I also have a Griffin and they are great, great bows but these are great too and less money and a lot less wait time. Very nice product. If you like a griffin and you don't want to wait 18 months, this is the way to go but I don't think you will be sacrificing anything unless maybe your into fancy woods.

SSSHHHHHH Matthews will want a cut.. LOL
Hey Ron! :D
I'll have it with me fo the Bear Quest in June, or (If we ever manage to get these bloody visas!) I'll pop over for a visit some time Bro! (I want a good snoop around your sausage/jerky factory anyway :biglaugh: )
As I have said, repeatedly, the Kanati is the best buy out there! The finish is Thunderbird Epoxy. The last coat, Jason stands several feet from the bow and mists it on to get the finish. It is awesome for hunting and gives a nice firm grip. I had a Shur-grip on my first one for a while, but after I got the second I tried without it and ended up taking the one off of my first. The grip fits so naturally, the bow just becomes a part of you. I have yet to try a bow that would equal the speed of a Kanati, and they handle heavy arrows extremely well.
Jason is a true craftsman and a great guy. He's also a Tradgang member. I have two of his bows and will add a third once he gets his 3 piece takedown off the ground. It's in the works guys, so stand by for news!
