Title: It's good to be green!
Post by: akbowbender on January 19, 2012, 11:52:00 PM
Got my belated Christmas present a couple of days ago....my new green Kanati! It's 49# @ 28". It sure is a great shooting bow, and it looks great along with my green Kota.

What should I get next?

That green looks great.
And from all I've read it should be a shooter as well!    :thumbsup:

Well, if you already have a 49# Kanati, you won't ever NEED another bow! I still try some others too though. My latest is the NM Shelton in my signature. It is fun to play around with, and I'd recommend one if you want to try the Hill style bows.

If, perish the thought, I had to limit myself to one bow, it would be my Kanati, hands down. It is smooth, fast, quiet, and puts arrows exactly where I point it! Kanatis aren't especially picky about spine, and they sling heavy arrows with authority.

Congrats on your purchase of the finest hunting bow you will ever own.

I do like the looks of that Northern Mist. I'll be checking them out at Kazoo.

Don:  It is Dymondwood (sp). I read recently that Dymondwood was heavy, but my Kanati is very light. The Kota, on the other hand, is much heavier. Not sure what it's riser is made from.

Sweet green Kanati! What length? Glad to hear that the Dymondwood doesn't feel heavy - that's what I have on order.

I guess length is important too: 60"

I've been shooting a vintage green 70's Kodiak Hunter lately. Something about that green glass look for sure.

What color is the glass? The riser looks great!

I guess I should have taken at least one more photo...It has black glass. Saw one like it on here last year and decided to go that way as a result.

I had originally thought about getting one of Jason's "Klassics", which also has black glass, but as soon as I saw the green and black combo, I knew that is what I was going to get.

Don_h: I was looking at both the Whip, and the Lynx at Screaming Eagle. I've shot them both, and I can comfortably handle the 52# Whip, but I already had the Kanati on order. Someone was looking at the Whip last Saturday, so it may be gone.
