Title: Bigfoot sighting in Connecticut
Post by: Gary Greene on September 21, 2011, 07:26:00 PM
I heard some noise outside the front door.  I went out to see what it was and I found a "Yeti" in a box of all places. So I got brave and brought in the house and here are some pictures.

So far so good, I didn't get bit yet. Oh no it moved.

Looks like one of those long, lean, curvy Yeti.

Very, very nice Gary. Kirk is an outstanding craftsman. That is a really nice bow.

Anything Kirk builds shoots great, hits hard, and his bows have the flatest trajectory of any bow I've ever shot.

Hopefully I'll have pics of a new Big Foot to show in a couple days.

The bow is 54" long,it 50lbs@28.I was looking to get a R&D longbow. I was looking to get a used one but could not find one that I liked enough so I started looking at stock bows and seeing what was available and found this Yeti on Kirk Lavender's "Bigfoot Bows". Wasn't looking for this short of a bow but after talking to Kirk about his Yeti he said he can draw it out to 29" without a problem and I have a 28" draw.  I figured that this bow would be great hunting out of a treestand.Kirk made me an offer I couldn't refuse. So here it is and what a great shooter.It doesn't feel like 50lbs but it can send an arrow to the target fast.It is very smooth,I love how the limbs feel.I am very impressed with this bow. Anyone looking for a new bow should give Kirk Lavender at call at "Bigfoot Bows".  I think you too will be impressed.  Happy Shooting, Gary

I'm sure you will be pleased with the performance, Kirk is top notch!

This little bow acts like a much longer bow. Kirk isn't kidding when he describes his bows.I am so pleased with this bow. It is hard to believe a bow this short can feel so good.

hen I got my first Sasquatch I had the same reaction - first thing to do is set aside a couple of hours to get it out of the box.  When Kirk packs a bow he doesn't screw around any more than he does when he builds one.  

His craftsmanship is first rate and those things get an arrow downrange as close to flat as anything I've ever seen.  

Congratulations, Gary.  Hunt well.

Very nice bow right there! Congrats.

I believe that Big Foot is destined to terrorize the critters in your area.    :thumbsup:

The sun peaked out the other afternoon. I ran out and took some pictures,then I shot some arrows. The sun wasn't out for long and I have not seen it since. I really can't wait for fall to get here.

I'm glad to hear you are pleased with the bow Gary.   :thumbsup:   I'll look forward to hearing some hunting stories.

There are quite a few short recurve bows out there to choose from, but very few guys build a hybrid long bow that are this compact. These bows are available from 52"-56"

Hopefully by Christmas time I'll have the Yeti recurve design in the line up. These will be available from 56" to 60" in length.

I let a couple of buddies try it out and they were very impressed with it. It is such a sweet shooting bow. If the Yeti recurve is anything like the Yeti longbow,it will be a super bow. The next pictures I take with it,hopefully will have a whitetail next to it.
