At the time of Chris' passing, we found out that Chris had a new Kwyk Styk ordered from Jack. While we were at Solana this year, Larry, Curt and Dad hatched a plan to let me take Chris place in line for the new Bow. Larry called Jack from Solana and the plan was put in motion. I did not realize what was going on at first but when Curt let me Pheasant hunt with his Kwyk Styk, CY, and then left it for me to shoot for a few months when they returned to New York, I started to suspect something was up. I had always been able to shoot CY well and had my best day ever shooting and connecting with the Pheasants on the wing. I was also able to win the Twin Oaks Classic with Cy.
The Bow is wonderful....Jack built it with a "GURU" grip and the limb tips and Jacks "signature" Arrowhead are made from the Antlers of an 8 point buck that Chris took on Fort Benning.....I have a feeling that this Bow is gonna be in for a serious Ride. It's going to be Fun!
I want to thank Larry, Curt, Jack and Dad for making this happen.

Seriously, glad to just be a small part of this for you buddy. I can remember talking to Jack about this and he jumped at the chance to get this done for you...he's a good man!
You have "eternal mojo" with this one, and you will never be alone on any hunt....Chris will hunt forever with a lot of us :campfire:
One of my buddies from Alberta has one...boy are they nice....just point and shoot.
Awesome story, very cool deal! Have fun with it.

Welcome to the club Skyler. Beauty of a bow and a great story to boot. It'll be nice to have a little of Chris along for the ride on future hunts.
I was fortunate enough to do a little horsetrading with Chris a while back and let me tell you, the backpack he sent me is going to be with me for a long time...
Good luck and shoot straight.
