Title: New bows and products at KaZoo
Post by: owlbait on December 30, 2010, 05:35:00 PM

I hope Abe Penner/Caribow makes it this year. Really want to check out his Lynx or Slynx bow. Love those beavertail grips.

I have heard that Bear Archery will be there. I can't wait to fondle a new "Grayling Green" Super K. Their Ausable longbow looks interesting too.

Do they have a website, or does anyone have a list of exhibitors?

A few buddies and myself are going to make the drive, and I want to know who and what I can expect.

Thanks,

Dusty

There is info on the Trad Events forum. I'm not smart enough to know how to post the website but it is in that forum. There is an older thread on Powwow that lists some vendors too. Expect to have fun.

Thanks Bill. I thought you were going to say that I was right because I wasn't smart enough! Can I put the limbs from ZSR on my SXT? Guys, Bill always has great products at KaZoo. How many bows have I bought from you after KaZoo Bill?  :bigsmyl:    :thumbsup:
Title: Re: New bows and products at KaZoo
Post by: zipper bowss on December 30, 2010, 09:30:00 PM
Nearly all of them Mike.Just remember its a new year,and a new Kalamazoo.  :biglaugh:  

The limbs from your ZSR will fit your SXT just fine.They are the same limb.They will be 2 lbs heavier on your SXT.See you soon.

Post by: owlbait on December 31, 2010, 07:53:00 AM
Glad to hear you will have more bows Dave, that sweet short bow was so popular last year it was hard to get a chance to shoot it. Looking forward to seeing Chad's longbow. Chad, make sure there is one 45-50# to try! Great place to get your hands on quality archery gear. The only place I don't mind standing in line to test drive bows!!

Does Brothers of the Bow bring those great flashlights with them? Anybody else know of something new and exciting to see at KaZoo? Not that the "Regulars" aren't great    :thumbsup:

Owlbait, yes we'll be bringing the Mainbeam flashlights with us too. Seeing is believing.  We're also planning to bring along a new model they are experimenting with that's the same small size and price but they are trying to upgrade them. This new one is max 304 lumens and runs for 200 hours on the lowest setting on one pair of batteries. That's unreal for something the size of a magic marker. BW

Thanks Barry. I decided to pick one up this next year and KaZoo will be perfect.. I just won Mike Mitten's book and a copy of Primal Dreams that I hope to share with my classroom. Will Mike be at KaZoo?

Here's the DVD jacket/insert for "Essential Encounters - Primal Dreams II".  I don't have a pic of the actual DVD yet, just my art file, so imagine this wrapped around a DVD :^)

Looks great Gary.By the way Barry, the money for my copy is on the way.  :thumbsup:  

We will have several new things at Kalamazoo.We are also planning to unvale our new hunting video.Tracy is working over time trying to get all the editing done in time.

Both our longbow and recurve limbs are now available with the accelerater wedge.It ups the performance another notch.It is only available with the carbon and foam option.

We are also planning to have a take down bow for the more budget minded shooter.A bare bones hunter model using our classic limbs.The evolution limbs will not be available on this bow.

Then there is the new ILF risers and limbs.We will have them with us aswell.A lot of new stuff going on around the Zipper shop.

Does anyone know if bringing used bows for sale is allowed or must one have rented a booth to sell/trade?
Title: Re: New bows and products at KaZoo
Post by: owlbait on January 03, 2011, 08:23:00 PM
The last few times there was a vendor that would sell your bows for you for a slight commission. I think that is the only way you can do it under their rules. Check with Great Northern to find out for sure.

Gregg and I have been talking about a 62" Super Shrew. All of the past Supers have been a maximum length of 60". Gregg's working on a SS Deluxe Take down in 62" for the show. We'll also have an Armstrong Ghost for display and trial.

See you there.

People abused it years ago so you have to drop them off with Recycled Recurves (Lonnie Collins) It actually is a nice system. You get more people looking at them, you don't have to haul it around, and Lonnie is great to deal with.

Anyone know what sort of commission Lonnie Collins (recycled recurves) asks?

I'm pretty sure that it was Lonnie that I talked to last year when a fella told me to just leave my bow on his table and pay him whatever I felt if it sold. Seems pretty fair.

Getting closer and more and more of the bowyers, vendors, and great people I want to see will be there. Luckily, my wife likes to go, she even has helped out Teresa Asbell in her booth. I get to go Friday and Saturday. A day trip just isn't long enough for me anymore!

I jumped on here a little late, but I'll be debuting my 1 piece longbow as well as bringing some of the new 3 piece longbows. Do me a favor and turn up the thermostat out there before I come out...those sub-freezing temps are BRUTAL!

:eek:  

They make them things any brighter and they'll soon be illegal to use near airports!  

The new breed of flashlights is one technology I do embrace while hunting; or just keeping in my coat pocket the rest of the time.
