Hi everyone I HAVE A couple MAHASKA custom bows coming one recurve and one flat bow.does anyone have any first hand experience with these bows?let me know your reviews if so I would like to hear!thanks
I had 2 longbows, both 66", one was 46#@28" and the other was 55#@30". Both were excellent shooters and the 46# one almost silent at the shoot. They are just good hard working hunting bows.....I miss that 46#'er.....lol!
i had a longbow they are excellent only reason i traded it was i had to go down in weight. you got an excellent bow coming
Great bows
I've had two of Kent's recurves. Sold them both for financing of other bows. Wish I hadn't. I've tried to find the ones I sold but have had no such luck. They are out there somewhere. Hopefully I find them.
I had a recurve. Great workmanship, fast, quiet. accurate, but loads of handshock.
I have shot his bows and they are nice, and I hunted javalina with him, he is a good man.
Great bows! I have had of his 2 recurves, still have the one that was my first custom bow made to order. Traded off the other because it was a bit heavy for me. Great craftsmanship, excellent price, and Kent is a real nice guy.
Had one of the recurves. very nice bow.
Had 2 recurves for 12 years. You will love them.
I have a longbow. Great bow, very smooth.
I've had several of his long/flat bows, all nice bows.I still own one. Good workmanship and easy on the pocket. Kent is a good guy. He'll treat you right.
Thanks everyone for the info! really appreciate it now you guys have to come on up to Alaska and come hunting!!!!
Had one of the recurves, cocobolo and southwestern cedar veneers- very pretty and well crafted all around, lot of value for the money it seemed. Great 50's styling. I passed it on in a trade, but would own another without hesitation.
Edit: to be fair come now...a later post has mentioned 'hand shock'....it's a 50's style recurve with basically a longbow style riser/grip...very slim...not a lot of mass...yes the bow has a 'pulse' on the shot...not going to be dead in the hand like a typical chunky riser recurve. String material plays a role too.
I'm bring this back up to get some more info on Kent's flatbow.

Well, I had a different experience. While a extremely nice guy, his recurve was one of the worst bows, I have ever owned. Extreme shock, slow, and certainly not a pleasure to shoot. never again.
^ finally some honesty. I have the same thoughts.
Good bows, speed is around 170-174 fps for 10gpp and 27". I changed the string for a new one, less strands and modern material (no dacron)and from then the bow is very nice.

must not be many flatbows out there?
I have a Mahaska longbow and am not impressed! Shocky,and the cast is not any better than my PSE Sequoia. Never owned a flatbow or recurve model.
tried a 50# longbow & didn't care for it as the top limb would try to hit you in the head when shot, very strange acting.
