Well I just couldn't help it. Been starin' at them Chastain Wapiti's for a while now and I caved in this evening.
60in 51@28 bamboo limbed Wapiti is on the way! :D
The wait is on. :p

Great looking bow.
I have a Wapiti Spike TD longbow and lone it so much because of its smoothness.Its 60#@29 but I like to shoot it more than my 45#@28 Martin Bushmaster, both are 64" btw.Finish is not the best out there imho but performance is.Thats a nice combination there!
I think you'll like it.
Very good shooters.
Nice. I shot a friends years ago and have always wanted one.
Sharp looking bow for sure!!! I have shot a couple them and the grip was sweet and it really was a smoothing shooting bow!
nice bow bud - can't wait to here your shooting results

Nice lookin' "Wapiti"
Keith is more about function than purty but that one looks like it's got both.
Enjoy they are good shooters!
I can't wait to shoot it either.
Gonna try to get a 2020 tuned to it as soon as it gets here.
Be sure you follow his instructions in stringing the bow. It has some of the most wicked hooks on the ends of the recurve limbs I've seen.

I have had one on my wish list for a while now and that one is as nice as I have seen. I passed one up on the classifieds a while ago and kicked myself ever since.
I have 2. They are smooth and quiet
Woooweee. She's a purty gal.
Yeah those limb tips look wicked. Hope my stringer fits them.
Sharp looking bow!
If the bow is new and you got it from Keith he will send a stringer he specifically makes for his bows.
Sweet! Thanks
Fine looking bow! Congrats!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
You must tell us how it shoots...I have this running conversation with myself to get the short version...I also hear that Keith's main focus is on functionality.
I really want a great hunting bow. Let us know.
Robert
Did you get it from Tom @ RMSG?
BTW, nice looking TD. You are going to love it. Is it FF friendly?
Mike
Congrats I have been wanting a wapiti for a long time. Lets us know how she shoots
Yes I got it from RMSG.
It is not a FF bow. That does not matter to me as long as I am accurate with it and it's quiet.
I will let ya'll know how it shoots some time next week I hope. Maybe I can figure out my cam and post a video...no promises there though.
I have one, smooth as silk. Mine is 50@28
dacron only but, throws a arrow quick right were you look. :clapper:
Pops,MSwickard...and others. Your replies to my opinions post swayed me to do it.
It's your fault. :archer:
PS. Not really, but thanks for the input.
I was just in RMSG shop last Saturday and walked right past it!!!!! Personally, I haven't shot the FF limbs. However, talking to Keith there is not much difference. I do know after owning my TD going on 23yrs, a flemmish B50 string does just fine.
Look forward to the report.
Mike
Been shooting one for over 20 years. Smooth ,fast ,forgiving. I had many bows ,but this one will never leave. You'll like it!--1Longbow
