Post by: longbowjim on February 18, 2009, 10:38:00 AM
Randy asked me to post pics of his new Kajika Stik longbow for him, so here it is.  It is 51#@28".  60" amo.  Mun ebony and myrtle riser.  Myrtle limbs with bamboo core.

Hey J.D.!  i cannot wait to put my hands on this bow!  It is beautiful.  It will always have a special significance to me. Your post in January about your new take-down came at a special time for me.  My wife had been in the neuro icu unit for a little over 3 weeks with a brain aneurysm suffered at the young age of 49.  i had spent every day & nite with her.  Thru the help of a friend i was able to get hooked up with a laptop so i could log onto Tradgang.  Having to decide riser woods, etc. and pm'ing you back and forth gave me a break from the intensity of what was going on with my wife's recovery.  Now thanks to the positive thoughts and prayers from a lot of the members here and thru out the world, i have a new bow (almost) & a wife who is almost 100% completely recovered!  The doctors say she will have a complete recovery within the next month!  Thanks guys and girls and J.D. a special thanks to you!    :)

Great woods, great looking finish. Continued prayers for Randy's wife's full recovery and many days enjoyed together. The bow and the wife of course.

Now that grip is what I am talking about!! If I could ask, what is the measurement at the throat and around the mid palm? I can shoot anything with some meat to it!! Also love the rounded limb tip for bottom limb! Very Nice! Shawn

Shawn, i will defer to JD on that since i don't have the bow in my sweaty little hands yet!  i ordered it with the asbell grip...maybe JD is on the "board"...

Shawn-  YOu will have to have Randy measure it when he gets it.  I dont have any set circumference on the grip.  Everything is hand shaped without models.  I have made grips that I cant fit my hand around, and others that my finger is touching the middle knuckle of my thumb.  I leave that up to the purchaser.  I'm trying to leave the "custom" in custom bows.  JD

Maybe "rastaman" will bring to the plantation next year, if so I might make to give it a try.  Good looking bow man, and best wishes on your wife's complete recovery.

Sounds good rastaman, if you can't make it, JUST SEND THE BOW ALONE!

Beautiful bow!  I've got one coming next week.  It's a recurve with osage and bubinga.... and foam core limbs...
Cannot wait!
