Just for your information.  Kaibab is named after the Kaibab National Forest, located on the north rim of the Grand Canyon near Flagstaf, Arizona.   Shakespeare had a bow named the Kaibab during the 60's and early 70's.  they named most of their bows after National forests.

Yes that's exactly right George thats why Bruce named that baby the Kaibab. They used to live in Arizona they moved out to Datil, New Mexico a couple of years ago.I wouldn't mind retiring out there one day.
