Title: New bow (warning: pics, and it's a Kanati)
Post by: dec0y on March 23, 2013, 08:49:00 PM
Jason really delivered on this one--58'' and 59#@28. Absolutely smokes an arrow.

Looking forward to its first encounter with elk this fall, although I'm not sure the hooved bunch feel the same way:

And, no, it doesn't need both sets of silencers. But I had them laying around, and my arrows are too weak now anyway so I figured what the heck.

Love it!  Thinking of ordering one for next year and I like seeing some of the new bows with nice woods.  Coco and water fall bubinga?

Very nice, got some great lines on that one!!! I did not realize  Kanati's are made in Iowa. I might have to make the drive and check em out.

WOW! Dang, Jason is over-achieving these days.

That's the most awesome looking Kanati I've ever seen! Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, he starts using exotic woods in his lamination process!   :eek:    :thumbsup:    :notworthy:    :eek:

Very, very nice bow, congrats,

Wish Jason would get off the pot and come out with a takedown version, hint hint.

As most of you know, I have a tendency to buy, sell, swap bows fairly regularly. However, you will always see one constant: my 46# Kanati will always be at the top of my signature. I'm starting to think the RER recurve will too, but the Kanati is forever. Unless, God forbid, some accident should befall it, one of my kids or grandkids will have to inherit my Kanati.

This new bow is one pretty son-of-a-gun, but the beauty of Jason's bows isn't in the looks; it's in the performance. While I like the looks of my Kanati, what I truly love is the fact that I can neglect it for weeks or even months while flirting with another bow, then pick up the Kanati and stack one arrow after another in the center of the target. I keep seeking another bow that fits me as well, but so far only the RER has come close.

Anyway, congrats on the beautiful bow from one of the finest bowyers in the nation...not just little old Iowa.

30coupe,

You are spot on with the shooting characteristic's of these small on size but packed with dynamite bows. I like to say as well as they shoot, seems like Jason has found a way to put steroids in them for some extra punch !!!

That bow is stunning in person, to bad I don't have the time to make them all that way     "[dntthnk]"    

I have a few more veneered and accented bows in the mix this year and then it's back to black glass and solid dymondwood handles for next year. Those pretty ones take a long time to build and time is something I am very short of with 2 active kids and a day job.

No doubt about that either, Froggy. I chronographed my Kanati with 10+ PPG hunting arrows and averaged 174 FPS...shooting with my cordovan tab. I also smoked an arrow through a whitetail buck at 22 yards a couple years ago.

If ya need a break from that bow, ya can always send it down my way.
Also, try a Kanati bow quiver on that bad boy. It's defiantly the way to go.

What an amazing looker! And I already know that these are amazing shooters! You & Froggy are very fortunate fellows to own such fine specimens. Hard to say which one I like better ... together they are the two most beautiful Kanatis I've ever seen.  Free advice: don't ever let it go!

Had some old AD trad heavies laying around at around 650 grains--might as well be laser beams based on how fast they come off the string. Really impressed by the performance especially with the heavy arrow at long range.
