56" and 63# @ 28" (or about 69# at my draw...), thanks Greg Clark!
Merry Christmas to me! Or at least Happy New Year!
Been looking for both for quite a while...

awww man, Greg! I used to own that kwyk styk (made for Shawn Leonard) =( Wish I would have known it was up for sale, cause I was on the market for one and would have loved to have it back! That one is a smooth shooter for sure. If you ever choose to get rid of it, please let me know.
-
I think that may still be one of the strings I built for the kwyk styk.
-
Oh Jeffrey my friend. You will never be done. That's part of the fun of trad! Sweet bows for sure.. I really like that Styk. Hint.
-
also, I had the antler limb bolts made by Stickshooter for the kwyk styk =)
-
probably some of the prettiest bocote veneeers on that one... =)
-
I'm glad you got the Schafer because it was killing me!!!
-
Couple of beauties there congrats!!!
-
Quite a pair there! Nice.

Is that a Kempf Kwyk Styk?

Oh, I thought I was done buying and selling until I got my first Jack B Harrison.
See my Harrison Picture thread to see how much intervention, I need.

Jeff I've had that silly thought a time or two myself.
I'm hoping that by just admitting that I have issues it will lead to some sort of recovery..lol
God bless,Mudd
PS: I think the biggest problem is when we feed our addiction it brings new bows of beauty into our lives.. that doesn't help matters...lol
-
Mudd and Leatherneck, I know I have a problem, just thought I had it licked... But, I've thought that before... ;-)
Raging, it's a Kwyk Styk...
I can't wait to get my hands on either of these bows! I've wanted to try a Silvertip Longbow for a number of years, and I've wanted a heavier Kwyk Styk since the second time I shot my 56"/56# Kwyk Styk about 8 months ago...
-
Jeff,
You scored a Kwyk Styk for $450!!!!! WOW, incredible. Better go buy a Lotto ticket while you are hot.

Makes it hard to not buy the bow... especially when it is one of a very few you're looking for, plus it's the perfect length and weight, and on top of that it is a real good deal! Was listed for about a half hour before I saw the add and bought it...
-
Killer Schafer!! KS is another beaut! Well done.
Explained this hoarding stuff to Mike (Scoobiedoo) on his recent trek back into traditional archery. Just spent $600 on his new bow. He's worried. Funny. So far, I believe, he's at least $3 grand & several therapists ahead.
-
I just had a terrible thought. Can you picture a therapist who is also a trad archer?
-
Found some older pictures of the Kwyk Styk when she was new...

Cocobolo and Osage riser with Bocote veneers with Osage fades and Moose tips... Sweet!

Kwyk Styk arrived today... all I can say is... :bigsmyl:
-
Both beautiful bows but that KS brought a little tear to my eye. Congrats! I just wish I was quicker than you. LOL!
-
Jeff, Is that in fact Shawn's old KS?
I met him when he went to Joe's shop to pick it up. Great looking and shooting bow!!!
-
A PILE of beauties! Good for you!
-
Nice bows Jeff,you did the right thing!I tell you what:this site is really addicting,we need to close the classified and the sponsor forums! :banghead:
-
Curt, yep, it's Shawn's old bow... still has his name on it...
-
How many KS do you have now bud?
Sure was different in TX without ya :campfire:
-
Yea Jeff, how many do you have? :saywhat:
-
Super price on the Kwyk Styk.
-

This is my 3rd, I've got a 58"/55# @ 28", a 56"/56# @ 28" and this one 56"/63# @ 28"... I like the 56" a bit better then the 58", both are great though even at my 30" draw.
You don't know how much it hurt not to be there Curt... These Kwyk Styks are all your fault too! I tried one, actually a 60" with regular limbs, had to try a static limb (the 58" I still have), then fell into a 56", and then literally fell into this one. Best recurve I've ever shot, and I've shot a few... As you know I like my longbows, but the Static tip Kwyk Styk is as close as I've found to a longbow in a recurve. Allows me to shoot a much shorter bow with the same feel as a longer longbow. I like a lot!
-
Silvertip arrived today, again... :bigsmyl:
Literally looks like a brand new bow! Didn't get a chance to shoot it yet, maybe tomorrow before work...
-
Jeff-
I saw that Kwyk Styk right after it came up...like I told ya if I'd had ANY way to swing it, it would've came here to Idaho to sit next to that Carbon/Foam Dakota I picked up from you...But if I couldn't have it glad it found its way to you! Enjoy them both!
Good luck to you!

Jeff....you need to add a Kempf Raven to your group. 56", Static recurve limbs.... :readit: :nono:
-
Do you have one for me Joe? I'll get you my address in no time for shipment... ;)
