Title: Kempf Raven Recurve Limbs!
Post by: Gordon martiniuk on May 25, 2011, 01:46:00 AM
Went to Jacks for a visit , Jack had a new surprize  that he wanted me to try,, It was a new static recurve limb he had roughed out and mounted on one of his Raven Bows, Jack told me Sergio helped with the Static part of the limb. Its tips are really curved back more so than the Kwyk Styk, it looks like at full draw that 3.5 " of the limbs from the tip back stay straight , very  static,,Here is the suprise its not only  very   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  Fast but very Quiet shoots where you look I was stacking arrows with it ,, another thing I noticed it does not stack I drew it as far back as I could smooth all the way ,, Jack is very happy with this new limb,, Sergio looks like the first set of limbs are for you I think you will love them

Can't wait to see it.  Jack talked about coming up with a new static limb for Raven last year.

Congrats to Sergio!

I deny everything ! Jack who??  Joe, i am a legend, but only in my mind. The limb is everything that Gord says and more.
     i visited with jack yesterday, bolted the limbs onto my Raven riser and WOW! Fast, extremely quiet and awesomely stable.Jack gets all the credit. jack said that the tillering of these was so easy.Terry Brew has already spoken for these prototype limbs, they were to light colored to match my Black Ebony handle.these limbs made a 56" Bow and 57#@28" ,I have a 29" draw...SMOOTH!! Jack is an awesome bowyer and he and Pearl are absolutely Beautiful people.

Sergio, By any chance do you have a pic of the Raven's riser? Jack's due to start on my KS in November..the Raven with these new limbs might make me change my order.

Neat checkering job Sergio, those limbs probably won't fit on my riser, I have one of the prototypes and Jack has made some changes to the pin placements on the riser. That is what I get for being in a hurry. I have a set on order though. That riser is way too fancy for me, I drop things and then it wouldn't be all shiney.
Give me a call when you are coming back through.
My Raven has been pretty good, it just seems to kill stuff.

My recurve limbs seem to shoot fine Gord, a little "softer" feel than the kwik styks, but the arrow flight is similiar out to 30 yards. That feel could be due to the limbs being longer. I do prefer the longbow limbs for some reason. I also shoot my little grizzlies more than the recurves so that may not mean much. Waiting to try the static limbs. I have shot more animals with the recurve limbs. My recurve limbs are also 3# lighter in draw weight than the longbow limbs. Got Jack to make them lighter for a winter bow.

Serg...I like that shirt...where can I get one in Medium? Like the bow also....sweet. I know a few animals will hit the ground this fall with that bow.

Might have to send Jack up my Stealth and see if he can make me a pair of 55# Static Limbs. That would be neat....again, good luck with that new bow.

Terry you could probably kill stuff with a bent willow ,,you should go try those static limbs feels about like a KS to me , Mabe draw a bit smoother , if thats possable . profile is a little more narrow , a very good looking limb! seemed KS fast as well

Joe; keep your eyes on your mailbox. I don't know if the statics, will work on a stealth, due to the limb pad angle?? I'm in the toronto airport heading home.  :)
