Product review to follow in the appropriate forum in the next few days as I scrounge up some web time (after dark, of course!)

But here's a bit of a teaser. She's black & white ebony, double carbon limbs with foam cores, 62" long, 50@28...and a second set of limbs that are 42@28. More later...time to put my youngest to bed. More pics on page 3

Now that is a looker! Makes me think I might have chosen the wrong woods for mine. But time will tell. He should be starting my build this week.

Beautiful bow Andy. Kirk you done it good Bro.

Mike. If you got on the phone right now you might talk Kirk out of a certain 62 inch bow he has been showing me. It is build with the same kind of wood. A 62 inch static to die for.,
I have been in bow lust every since I saw it.
God bless, Steve

Shot my Squatch in a 3D last weekend. Couldn't be happier.

All the guys in my group were shooting simular poundage bows. My arrows actually rocked the targets with the impact.

I also had comments about it being a bear to pull my arrows. I am getting 3 to 4 inches better penetration than everyone else.

Not bragging, well yes I am, Squatches are long legged, flat shooting power houses

It's beautiful too....

Andy you are one fortunate fellow. Absolutely gorgeous bow, love the way the i-beam fits in and the flush limbs. Kirk did good.   :thumbsup:

Andy, That bow looks like a killer.... just looks aggressive! Loved the working late, meeting, box at home, after dark...I feel ya!
Shawn's idea of shooting in the house is risky, but understandable!

Post by: Andy Cooper on April 23, 2013, 08:58:00 PM
Well, it has rained here all day, and is still raining. So instead of a product review, I'll settle (for now) for adding a few more pictures.

  (https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/934985_617227568307365_1425690366_n.jpg)   (https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/60499_617656711597784_1840665374_n.jpg)

FWIW, I'm thrilled with the looks, the fit of the grip, and the finish of this bow. It is more than I'd hoped for.

If my target hadn't been out in the rain the last 2 days, I'd sure be shootin' 'er in the house. I can get an 18 yard shot inside...when my wife is not home!  :smileystooges:

I just keep going back and looking at that bow. Its drop dead gorgeous.  

I tell you what. That wood almost makes me dizzy. Last time I felt like that was the first time I saw my wife.

God bless you all, Steve

I agree with Bigriver, but for that one I would make an exception. You could always send it to me and I will do a product review!! Nice!! Shawn

Last year Kirk made me one that fit me in a way all others have "missed".  It was such a revelation to have a grip custom built to fit my hand!

I also saved pennies from heaven thru the wait and got what I thought was a stunning bow---and it is!

But each new one of his bows I see still tugs at my heart strings for each is so beautiful.

Wait till you wring it out and get to shooting...then the real beauty surfaces!

  :notworthy:   You done good, Hoss!

Warning! Getting a bow from Kirk, then having to deal with medical emergencies, weddings, family reunions, work, and life in general BEFORE you get a chance to become really well acquainted with the bow IS hazardous to your health. Consider yourselves warned!
