Title: New JK Traditions Kanati
Post by: sj_lutz on February 17, 2010, 08:20:00 PM
Had the good fortune of having my Kanati delivered yesterday    :bigsmyl:   Suffice it to say that the bow more than lives up to it's reputation; fit and finish is superb, it's whisper quiet with a 10gpp (ish) arrow, zips the arrow along quite nicely, and the grip really is all that and a box of chocolate.  

The bow is 50# @28, and 60 inches long sporting the walnut finish.

Ah yes....another excellent example of a Kanati. Someday I will hopefully own a 56" one.

I picked up a used 46# Kanati one year ago and love it.  The grip is perfect for my big hands. Shoots about as quick as any bow Ive shot.  Absolutely no hand shock even with light arrows and hardly any string noise.  They are quite light and a pleasure to carry in the woods. Ck.

I have an older JK bow - pre Kanati.  A sweet handling, very fast LB.  Jason makes some great bows.

Probably the best finish I've ever seen on a hunting bow.  Fast, smooth, stable and a wonderful grip.  You got to give it to Jason, he builds one design and it is to perfection.  There is something to be said for focusing and devoting your attention on that level.  It shows in his work.

I just traded for an older 62" 45# @ 28" Kabekona River built by JK. I draw 31.5" and it shows just the most minor stack as I get to full draw and it is oh so smooth along the way. I'm generally not much for hybrid bows but this one is really nice. Shoots my 560 gr. arrows plenty fast. Furthermore the attention to detail in terms of build quality if excellent.
