classy!
From the reports I'm getting from up North...this bow is a screamer....and super smooth too!! :readit: :thumbsup: :archer:
If someone was interested in picking up a Raven Recurve, what would one do?
Those limbbolts are the bomb! Great looking bow.
Very cool looking bow!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Any unstrung and full draw pics would be great.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, any idea on the price?
real nice lines on that bow. :thumbsup:
Sweet!
Sha....zam! And the million $$$ question?? How does it compare with the Kwik Stick & should I change my order when my name comes up!!! : )
That looks like the Bugatti of bows!! Very classy.
Serigo Wow is that ever nice ,, I allready Know how the Static Ravens shoot as I have been thinking about selling one of my kwyk Styks and getting a static limb Raven you may have pushed me over the edge ,,Jack was telling me the other day he would like to get more Ravens out there . Your Black Raven is one of the nicest Bows I have seen Thanks for posting!! :wavey:
:eek: What a beauty!!
Love the lines on it too...classy is an understatment!
Sergio, that is hands down, the nicest, coolest looking bow I have ever saw!!! If it shoots half as good as it looks, and it should, it will be a world class shooter! Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my chin. Sam.
Sergio, I just got off the phone with Jack.Told him to change my order for another KWYK STYK to a RAVEN. Said he hasnt built many with the static limbs but he likes them. I have a couple months till he starts mine. Cant wait!!! Let me know how it shoots if ya dont mind. Im sure it shoots great.Great looking bow you got. Good luck, Randy.
Hi Gord;
I believe you know that this bow shoots even better than it looks. I chose the all black woods to go with the " Raven" theme. If you order one let me know and I can have my friend tony checker the grip for you.Personally i think Jack should build them all black! My next set of limbs will be black glass.
As for any more Pics , thats it for now. Thanks to all for your nice comments.
Serigo yes I agree he should only build them all Black ,, People ask how do they shoot , well I shot the First prototype limb and wow smooth very fast and zero hand shock,and very stable those limbs draw like a much longer bow , a true home run ! For those that don't know Serigo helped Jack with the desighn of those Static limbs , good Job !! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
i love the looks of that bow. if one had to put a price on a bow like this what are we looking at? $500-$800 range or higher
Hi all, I popped over to Jack's last Thursday to show him the Kwik Styk I bought off TG and he showed me a Raven that was just about finished. Looked like black & white ebony riser, not sure what the limbs were. Shot it and....wow, compared real close to the Styk, it's a screamer and smooth to boot. My name comes up in a couple of months and now that I have a Styk, my order will be for a Raven with both recurve and long bow limbs. Nice to live so close to him.
Oh my Goodness...what a gorgeous bow!! Wow!
Sergio,
That is fantastic..
What length is the recurve?
Thank you
Wow, that is a good looking bow!!! :jumper:
Lordy mercy, might have to dance with one of these when my name comes up again..... WOW !!!
Thanks again folks for all the nice comments. Jack has out done himself again. The raven has the lines of classy sports car.
At this moment the Raven is available in a 56" length with the Static limbs and 58" with the longbow limbs. It's a Shooter.
That's a terrific looking bow. Congrats!
Right up my alley. Lookin' good Jack.
Thats got to be the best looking recurve ever! Hold me back boys. I can't afford to buy another bow!. Sigh. Pup
Will try and get some one to take pics of me shooting the Raven within the next couple of days.
Sergio,that's a great looking bow and i am sure it will shot ever better.
Very nice bow.
Oh, come on David, just one more ! You can do it!! LOL
Felix; You would love this Bow!! Maybe i'll bring it to Rome :)
Hey Serge, PM me your phone # and a good time to call. We need to make some plans!
Ryan
Sergio,you are lucky I am a lefty otherwise that bow wouldn't come back to its home state!

Joe;
You have a PM.
TTT
Sergio, how long is the riser ? Im going to go with the Raven instead of another Kwyk Styk. That Raven looks like a shooter.
Very nice......
Randy...I'm sitting here laughing because I knew you couldn't resist the Raven once Serg posted those pics....Way to go....you won't be disappointed.
Joe, what was i supposed to do you turned me on to Jacks bows. For that i love ya man. Randy
Wow!.....that's a BEAUT for sure! :readit:
Very nice, the limbs in bottom photo are longbow though, correct? Shawn
Hi shawn;
Yes, the bottom pic shows the longbow limbs= 58" longbow.
That's one sharp looking bow.I love the all black.
Randy;
I forgot the riser length and a friend has the Bow for a test drive i will get it back tomorrow and post the riser length.
Thanks Sergio, Im want to go ahead and order my quiver when i get the length of the riser. Thanks again, Randy
Sergio what core material do you have in your limbs.
Terry i have actionboo cores.
Man Serg., I cant stop looking at this bow. Gorgeous!
Thanks Mike; I kinda like it myself :)
Serg, when you get your bow back and run it through your normal shooting paces, a nice little report here would be great.
Type of arrows, arrow weight, distances shot etc...
An overall performance, especially those fellas looking to hunt out west and may take that 45 yd shot. Nice to know how well the arrows fly at the longer distances.
Geez....maybe this would be the perfect bow for Rothaar.... :archer2:
Will have more info within the next couple of days. Meanwhile there's a rumor that some one might be working on longbow limbs for the KS. :campfire: :dunno: :dunno:
Sergio, your killing me longbow limbs for a KS. Thank God for Canada guys!!!! Ill have to have longbow limbs for my KS too.
just thought i would mention that I named my new Raven "Bear Necessity".
Sergio if you wanted to buy extra limbs in the future would you have to send the riser back to have limbs fitted.Terry
Yes you would have send the riser back for fitting.
Sergio, have any updates on how well your raven shoots.
Ok...now how do I get one?! :dunno:
call Jack Kempf at : 1 780 467 3939. Jack is Elk hunting ,he will be back on Tuesday.
Thanks for the heads up Sergio! PM sent
Jack called last week....my longbow is in the mail. I should see it early next week....Yippeeee...Can't wait.
Been shooting Left handed since February..so this little RH Longbow will be a nice break....
Just wanted to bring this one back up.(so I can keep the phone number handy) :saywhat:
This is one sweet looking bow.
OK Serge,give us the low down on the performance. You've had enough time to play. PM me if you wish.
TTT
