Jack left the "back" of the limbs unfinished for me so I could put on a set of snakeskins.That's why the glass looks a little funny in this pic.....

Post by: Peckerwood on April 09, 2007, 07:38:00 AM: A pair of Emery Rat snake skins would look real nice on that baby. With that black glass it is probably extra snappy.

Title: Re: New Kwyk Styk is.......here,and it's AWESOME!!.More pix,Pg. 4.
Post by: Guru on April 09, 2007, 05:40:00 PM: Thanx guys...I really can't wait to shoot it!!!

I wanted the Black for a few reasons....

1. I've always wanted a dark "blackish" bow

2. yes,nice and dark for inside the blind

3. yes, I hear black glass might make it a bit snappy....not that's a problem with jack's bows.They all are!

Not sure the exact weight,I just asked jack to make it between 55-57#@28"...I draw about 28 1/2"

Charcoal silvertone dymondwood,riser and wedges,maple and black phenolic stripes to make the flare.....56" long

Not sure what kind of skins yet. I have copperheads,bullsnake,western diamondback,and I think rat snake...but I think that'll have to wait till turkey seasons over....what do you guys think,which one's?

My old KS isn't going anywhere!!! I just wanted something lighter for the cold weather hunts,and shoots that I shoot alot of arrows(Muzzy)....

No static limbs...same as my old bow. I wanted it to feel as similar as possible. Jack also still had the same casting of the grip(My old silvertip) that he made the last one from,so the grip should be real similar also.....

Bill, sleep will get worse as the week goes on bud :help:

I like the brace about 7 1/4" on my other Styk,this one should be similar....
Title: Re: New Kwyk Styk is.......here,and it's AWESOME!!.More pix,Pg. 4.
Post by: Guru on April 09, 2007, 05:44:00 PM: Randy and Joe...will do

Title: Re: New Kwyk Styk is.......here,and it's AWESOME!!.More pix,Pg. 4.
Post by: madness522 on April 09, 2007, 06:38:00 PM: Sure is a beaut! I know its gonna be hard but try to get some sleep so you're rested and ready to shoot her soon as the mailman leaves. Heck invite the mailman to shoot a little with you and you'll have a friend for life.
Title: Re: New Kwyk Styk is.......here,and it's AWESOME!!.More pix,Pg. 4.
Post by: larry on April 09, 2007, 07:21:00 PM: Curt, I saw some bullsnakes over black and they looked awesome, in fact if you go to Morrison's site and look under ilf limbs he has a set there.

Post by: Guru on April 15, 2007, 07:19:00 PM: Yes Ed,we do bud!

Herk, no website,but earlier in the thread Pete had a link to Jack's cataloge and his tele #

Thanks Doug, I hope to break her in right in a couple weeks!!

Larry, no,not yet...I wanted the black and maple thinking it would go good with diamondback skins...but I also have some copperheads.....

I love the dymondwood, it adds a little more weight in the riser..makes for a very easy to shoot bow....35yds.....

I haven't chrono'd yet,but it's "snappy"!

Title: Re: New Kwyk Styk is.......here,and it's AWESOME!!.More pix,Pg. 4.
Post by: Gun on April 17, 2007, 12:11:00 AM: By the way that little undercut - relief you see between the shelf and side window. My idea for more feather clearance. Mine is hopefully going to be killin stuff again this fall after getting some lighter limbs. Nice looking Bow there Curt.
I prefer the gary myself.
