Title: Kanati Fever!
Post by: ThePushArchery on February 12, 2010, 04:32:00 PM
So I have it narrowed down to  Bob Lee Longbow, Kanati, or Thunderstick.

Can you guys post some pictures of your Kanati's?! I'm just learning about these bows, and I love their looks!

It is 60", 51@28. It is a great bow. It looks good, it's fast and I don't think you can beat the grip, which I think is the reason I'm so consistent with it.

Here's my Kanati it's a good shooting longbow and they are hard to beat for the price.

I`m glad I`m not you.  :thumbsup:  But then you would have a hard time deciding which one to shoot.  :confused:  Good luck with what you decide on.  :pray:

I love the looks of the grips on these bows. I am not a fan of a straight longbow grip, and I like the fact that the Kanati's have a handle closer to that of a recurve, and that they are cut to center.

I think the Kanati will make the transition back and forth from recurve to longbow easier.

Greetings Matt!

FYI - Jason can shape the grip that you want on your KANATI.  There are therefore unlimited possibilities.

One thing for certain - KANATIs are very nice shooting bows!

Enjoy the journey in arriving at a decision!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Yes I am excited to get one in my hands. I have an RER Arroyo that I am trying to either trade or sell to get a kanati.

Thanks for all the input guys!
