Post by: deadpool on March 15, 2009, 04:57:00 PM
I'm so exited about mine! It should be ready by the end of April. but to me, for some reason each day is getting longer and longer! Is that normal? lol
anyways back to the subject, for you guys that own of have owned one of Jason's bows, how do you like them so far? have you had the chance to chrono them? killed anything with it? how do you like its shooting characteristics?  let me know guys! thanks

I have owned two of the Kabekonas and they were Awesome bows, especially the little 56" I had! I just wished he could make them with exotic woods.

I'm liking mine so far. It's a 60", 51#@28".

Bought it from jwingman a couple of months back. It really puts an arrow down range!

It has a feel all it's own. Much different than my Whip, which is different than my Predator recurve (of course!) It has a real nice grip, and I like the finish.

I'm sure you will like your new Kanati when it arrives! We will get pics, right?

Haven't had a chance to run it through the chrono, but it's one of my favorites - 56" 45@29.  Smooth to shoot, and puts an arrow downrange with authority.  

After picking up a Shrew Carbon I'm going to keep my eye open on the classifieds for one of Jason's older carbon bows.  Even then, I could easily pick up another Kanati (maybe one in Spring Green) and be extatic.

Jason makes a darn good bow for the money IMO, but I've got a thing for short longbows.

Just picked one up and it shoots real nice.  Sends the arrows out like lazer beams.

Awesome bow, light in the hand and very quick. For me the grip allows me to shoot a longbow. It fits like a glove and the bow looks great.

AAAAAAAH it came it came it came!
be

oh man it was worth the wait...pound for pound best shooter i ever owned or or shot...I'm not exagerating....I shot a black widow at mark bonales archery shop last year and looking back, I notice that my bow is the more forgiving and quite shooter....cant compare speed because of the weight difference but wow....
thanks jason for an awesome shooter
