Ok it's time to see all the pretty Sasquatches on one page. I'll
Start it off with this one.

Beautiful bow. Is there a website for them?
Man I'd better stay away from them at Denton Hill, that is one sweet looking bow.
There's a link at the top of the opening page & you can also find him in the sponsors pages under the name Big Foot Bows.
This is a 60" Sasquatch recurve with a 16" riser. The riser and limb backs are BW Ebony. This is a 2x carbon limbed bow. It is 49#@26". The limb bolts are flush.
Other custom touches:
--Bear Compass
--Grip throat 4.25" in circumfrence (Like a T-Rex I have small hands)
--Riser tapers very thin to the limb faces
This bow is extremely smooth shooting and is the top performer in my chronograph -- the same FPS as one of my favorite bows that is 4 pounds HEAVIER in draw weight!

Here is my 60" sasy, bocote and black glass.
I've been sneaking peaks of those bocote bows and that ebony one from time to time, they are some real lookers!
My Sas is so pretty I can't take a picture that does it justice! I guess I better try again, it really should be on this thread!

Alright, I got some PMs "encouraging" me to dig out a few pics and I do have a few I can't remember if I ever posted here or not.
Day 1 coming out of the package! Zebra riser with bocote fang, limbs are zebra front and back covering yew cores.

In May I bought a bocote handled knife to match my fang. Got a nice close up of the riser here

Too bad the knife maker didn't have bocote as nice as Kirk...
I did a little 3d with riverrat2 snapped this one

Then the other night I was at the range and a guy sent me a PM wanting to see a strung profile

Like I said, my pics don't really do it justice but I am a happy camper!

Zradix, I cannot believe you let that bow go . Its drop dead gorgeous and if it shoots like mine does its an unreal shooter.
Beautiful bows guys,
God bless you all, Steve
I hope nobody has forgotten the 3rd sister, she had the best looking set of "limbs" of the bunch!

Thom
That was a cool reveal.
has a certain allure to it..lol
I have the one that Zradix sold, and I love it, I have a hard time keeping it in my hands as everyone loves to shoot it, I have found that it really shoots a heavy arrow well, I made some ceder shafts that are just under 600 grains and it throws them down range with authority . I would buy another one in a heart beat,
SWEEET!
I'm so glad it's getting used.
So pretty it deserves to be!
Kirk built me a bow not long ago. I told him I wanted it built for speed, smoothness of draw and to be 48lbs. at 29-1/2 and that's what it is.. I told him I don't want to second quess myself later and wonder if I could have picked up a FPS with this option or that. So we came up with a 64" TD recurve..what I wanted, with triple carbon, foam cores, no veneers, Black Walnut riser with Macasar Ebony I-Beam and satin finish.
This bow draws smooth as silk..not one iota of stack or change in felt poundage from 7" to 8" brace height to as far as I've pulled it...29-1/2". It really shoots fast and hits hard down range. This was my first session with it at about 20yds.
I was hoping it would like MFX 500's since I have a lot of them, but it don't...shoots MFX and ICS 400's with 240gr down to 150grs field points like darts.
When I kill a deer I'll post some pictures.

i would show pics of mine but still being pending :(
Here is a current picture, hopefully I know how to load it... http://s1062.photobucket.com/albums/t492/jreese22/
C'mon fellas, thats only 4 bows! If the mountain man on TV gets a production break maybe he can post up too. :thumbsup:

The only bad thing I can say about this bow is that I dont have 2 of them...... It gets shot almost every evening , I am ready for Oct. to get here,,,,

Truth be told, you almost didn't get a shot at that one! As soon as I heard it would be going up for sale I called Kirk to talk about it's long draw capability. We went through it's ins and outs and I slowly accepted the fact I wouldn't be able to shoot it like I do my zebra bow.
I got a lot of example pics and some unclaimed block pics from Kirk as we were planning my bow out, I often wondered who got this bow and what it ended up looking like:

Anybody know?
Thom
The "Ugly Duckling " with her stocking off. Just cant say enough good things about this one. This is the best looking and best shooting Sasquatch out there!!! LOL

those flush limb bolts with the black "shield" on black just plain look classy man.

Very much agreed! :thumbsup:
I had my Sas at the range tonight, freaking scary awesome bow! I'm almost to 6,000 shots on it and I'm still running that same string and side plate from the end of the "blocks to bows" thread! I'll put her back on the chrono after 10k arrows. I'm guessing she still has every FPS she did the day I pulled her out of the box!
Thom
Will we ever get to see under the "censored" ?
Thought I'd add this one ..................didn't order anything fancy but she really shoots. The "I-beam" is a little different, don't know if Kirk will continue to use it or not. (http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s488/savml10/P1010174.jpg)

There's nothing plain about her, I really like the finger grooves.
Iohkus,
Kirk offered me that swirly G-10 but I'm more of a wood guy being raised by a cabinet maker to appreciate natural wood grain, burl and swirl.
I got my custom gripped Sas last week and had a thread up on PW for it...
Here are some of the pics of that one: Waterfall (snake fight) bubinga sandwiched between gorgeous bocote...bocote veneers on the back side of limb and bubinga waterfall on the belly... XX carbon and foam core under the very thin veneers.

Kirk spent a lot of time reviewing videos of my shooting 3 different risers from 4 angles, stills and hand tracings. He nailed it.
Here's the link to that thread, and how Kirk dissected my shooting form to build a grip that doesn't FIGHT me, if interested:
http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=119765
Been following the above thread Dave. I always follow any Big Foot thread. Glad it shoots so well for you. Since posting about mine I've changed the set-up a little. I'm now using a six strand SBD, Beman carbons with 145 gr. points, 50 gr. inserts for a 443 gr. arrow, and at 45# at my 26" draw she's shooting lazer beams. :archer2:
William,
I'm still putzing around with strings and getting nock fit and brace right... but oh, my...
I'm anxious to get thru the drivel with strings and get this bad boy put through the paces and arrows tuned to it...
It is such a different performance and "feel" that I don't really know what to expect as to what arrows will suit me best.
I got a new tuning process sent to me that Troy Breeding published...
Could be fun...
I find it so interesting that Kirk milks the most out of each bow at the exact draw you require...give or take an inch or so I think he said... so if you change style, you're still in the groove.
I'm lousy on true back tension, due to some arthritic stuff, but I can tell you, just shooting in strings and such...those muscles between my shoulders know they been working!
And yet, these limbs do NOT feel as heavy as bows marked LIGHTER than this! Amazing! Looks and some "Zoom-zoom!" Hehehehe :jumper:
