Picked up my newest KwykStyk from Jack right after our Alberta Bowhunters Assoc banquet (April 2). Is a beauty and shoots like a dream!! Bocote and bloodwood, bamboo limbs. 51# - 56" long. I draw it 27 3/4". Shooting 31 1/4" CE Heritage 250s - 100 gr insert with 150 gr Magnus Stinger 4 blade bheads. Total arrow weight 630 gr. 147 fps/30 ft #s of energy/13.2 lb/ft/sec momentum. Brace height 7 5/8, noc 1" high. Put a Selway slide on quiver on it.
Jack made us a KwykStyk that we raffled off at our banquet and we had our special guest Fred Eichler sign it for the lucky winner. Jack's bow (no surprise here) was the most sought after item we had up for auction/raffle. We gave Jack a personalized ABA leather jacket as a token of our appreciation.

Congrats on really really nice bow!!!
Nice bow. I'm on Jacks list and looking to get a Kwyk Styk with about the same specs as yours. Good luck bear hunting with it. Remember we like to see pictures.
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful Bow! congrats and good luck on the Blackie ! from nextdoor LOL
Jack does it again. How much better can they get?? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome. Its a beauty for sure :thumbsup:
Good luck on blackies, I agree we love pics :)

Stunning bow! The woods compliment each other perfectly. Nice shootin' too. Congrats, and good luck with the Bears!
Wow!!! Gorgeous bow. Good luck breaking it in...
Mo
Very nice.
Hope to see and shoot one in person one day.
Congrats! She is very nice.
Very nice... love em !!. Hey Friend, if you are ever nearby, let me know, you would be welcome to shoot either of mine......

Beautiful bow...I would drop the arrow weight though to about 530 grains. You'll get the same penetration at close distances but increase the efficiency.
Good luck with the new bow, she is a looker... :thumbsup:
I'll definately send pics!! We chked bait first time so far this year (late late spring and some snow still hanging on) as we have to move it a bit (too many trees fell down at old site)and this real good track (just over 5", big toes, pigeon toed) was on the road right where we go to bait. Bait is all set up now so we will check on Monday and see what is going on. Excited!!

Joe -- I did try the Axis 500s (516 gr) that I used out of Jack's other bow (same weight, same length, different woods - all Zebrawood) and they were too weak in spine (could see a bit of a kick and in paper tuning showed too weak). Went to Axis 400s I had that son uses out of his recurve (30 1/4) and they shot good actually - 541 gr. Bit faster by 10fps, the same kinetic energy but about 10% less momentum. I wanted to go to the CE as they had the wood look and match the bow better - arrows are heavier per inch and had to keep them longer to get them to spine right and that upped the weight big time. Definately hit hard!!
Congrats on the Beautiful Bow from Jack! Good Luck with the Bears. Maxx
Brent,
Very nice bow. Well done in your choice selection of wood and layout. They sure are a pleasure to shoot. Best of luck giving it some mojo with that bear. My beat is on you, not the bear...
Yves :archer2:
Nice bow,I am interested to your review about how its characteristics.
Great looking bow thanks for posting Shane
good luck on the bear
:thumbsup:
Beautiful Bow Brent, looks like you are shooting 2-3mm low:) I can take those axis off your hands if you are not going to use them. Baits here got hammered, now just need to sit there at the same time Mr Bear shows up.
Terry
Beautiful bow! Congrats!
Just got on Jack's waiting list for a Kwyk Styk in February... I have a long wait! Nice bow!!
Hi Terry -- David uses the Axis 400s out of his Rick Lepp bow with 60# limbs and I'll need the 500s for Jack's other bow. Anything is for sale if the price is right LOL.
Going to check bait tomorrow night and see what is happening - kind of excited to see if the "track maker" is around.
Sure like the looks of those Kempf Kwyk Styks!
Only in my dreams,beautiful bow.
Beauty! Looks like she likes the setup you have with her too... Best of luck on the bears!
I've got two Kwyk Styks, a 56" and a 58" both within a pound of each other. They seem to like stiffer arrows especially with heavier heads. I do have a lighter setup also with a weaker arrow and lighter heads. Flat out smokes the lighter arrow!
Very nice lookin' bow!
A beauty for sure!
That's a great looking bow, good luck on the bruins.

Been there, done that. Now I am on the list. I can only advise anyone to stay away from Froggy he is Jacks salesman of the south. Just Kidding :bigsmyl: Froggy is top notch and believe me Jacks bow's sell themselves.
Congrats on a great looking KS
Great looking bow, and good luck with the bears. How can I get more info on a kwyk styk? I tried the internet but maybe I'm typing something in wrong.
Jason, I sent you some info.
Terry
Beautiful looking bow! Got on list yesterday. I can't wait
What a beauty, my name should be coming up soon on Jack's list!
I hope Jack shows some mercy after all the years I dealt his bows through my shop and moves MY LONGBOW order ahead of you guys....keeping the fingers crossed!! :laughing: :archer2:
Nice! heard good things about those bows.
very nice like the wood Thnaks Shane
I like the arrowhead inlay and the wood combo in the riser. Nice.
Congrats, it is a looker!
