Title: Kwyk Styk questions
Post by: Benjamin199 on September 19, 2011, 08:06:00 AM
My name finally got to the top of Jack's list he called a week ago Friday letting me know he was planning to ship my new bow last week.  I have a 60", 55#@30 Kwyk Styk with a grey diamond wood riser, thumb rest, and static tips on the way. I have a few questions;
1. Can you guys who already own KS's give me a good starting point for brace height and nocking point.
2. Does anyone know how long it normally takes for a bow to arrive in the US once Jack ships it?  (Why is it the last few days of waiting always seem the longest?)
3. Can you give me a rough idea of how close to center the bow is cut?

Thanks for your help, with any luck I can get it tuned in and out in the woods real soon.

I have 2 of Jacks bows - 56" 51# @ 28".  Brace heights are 7 5/8 and 1" noc height. Seems high but they shoot incredibly well. Using Carbon Express Heritage shafts 30 1/4 long, 100 Gr inserts with 150 Gr Magnus 4 blade stingers.
You won't regret getting one of Jack's bows. Awesome bow, great guy!!

Both my Stealth and new longbow brace at 7 1/4". This is where they seem to shoot the best for me.

Got your PM Ben...I replied to it. Good luck with your new bow. Glad you got to meet Jack and shoot a bunch of his bows.

Usually will be in the states in a couple days. Of all I have gotten from Jack, about 5 to 7 working days is the norm down here to Georgia. Probably quicker for you I would imagine.

I shot mine at 7.5"s and cut 3/16ths. past center and my nock height was 5/8ths inches. I had 2 and mine took about 10 days from when Jack shipped until arrival. Shawn

yes sir both mine like 7 to 7.25 " and about 3/4" for my nock hight you have to shoot it and vary brace hight till it becomes more forgiving to shoot ,,
