I shot and hunted with Larry Surtee's 52 incher when i was in Texas.  It was a great feeling bow.

I have talked to Larry on his 52"er, said it shot very well, but he can't get used to the very small sight window due to he holds the bow vertical. If shooting it canted, it improves. I have a 54" Kwyk Styk on the way that Jack mailed out last Monday, hopeully will be here middle of the week     :pray:   . I had thought of going with a 52", and after talking with Jack and Larry about it, I went with the 54" w/ static tips. If it shoots like my 56"er I will be very happy !!

I have shot a couple of 52" kwyk styks, I also own a 56" & 58" kwyk styk. the 52" has a very small sight window and I did not shoot it as well as my other ks bows, I also have a 52" Stealth and for me it is a lot better to shoot than the 52" KS, I believe the Stealth is very good Bow and can be had from 52" to 60" , I would try one of those Randy , I know you will be pleased you did , Ask Joe Skipp I know he feels the same as I on that one.. Don`t get me wrong the Kwyk Styk is a excellent Bow !!  :wavey:

Gord nailed it with his post above.  

The 52" KS was a great shooter as are all of Jack's productions (quiet, fast, and smooth drawing).  However, with my vertical stance I had difficulty with the small sight window.  Canting the bow when shooting makes a positive difference and opens up the sight window.  

After talking with Jack about it, I returned the 52" KS and got back on his list for a 56".

I Sure Like my 56" ks, I'm looking forward to Laniers review of the 54"r.  

I couldn't resist, and got back on jacks list. He is one class act, a fantastic gentleman.

The snow is finally melting, and I owe pics.

The sight window on the 54" Stealth is larger than his 52" KS. As with all custom bows, you can request a larger sight window but riser length will determine just how large it will be on the different models.

I personally agree with Gordon, I love the Stealth's feel and performance. It really sends an arrow down range at good speed, both aluminum and carbon. Add that's it super smooth with the regular limbs, for me, no better bow out there.

However, there is a large Kwyk Styk following which tells you something....   ;)  All comes down to personal preference.    :thumbsup:
