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:

Post by: koger on August 03, 2011, 10:20:00 PM
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.

Post by: rjackson on August 03, 2011, 10:36:00 PM
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.
Title: Re: Introducing the Kempf Raven
Post by: SERGIO VENNERI on August 03, 2011, 10:40:00 PM
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.
Title: Re: Introducing the Kempf Raven
Post by: Gordon martiniuk on August 04, 2011, 12:22:00 AM
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
Title: Re: Introducing the Kempf Raven
Post by: Arrowest on August 04, 2011, 03:17:00 AM
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.

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.

Post by: joe skipp on August 06, 2011, 10:27:00 PM
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:

Post by: SERGIO VENNERI on August 07, 2011, 12:16:00 PM

Sergio if you wanted to buy extra limbs in the future would you have to send the riser back to have limbs fitted.Terry
Title: Re: Introducing the Kempf Raven

Yes you would have send the riser back for fitting.
