Title: Rarely Does a Bow Impress Me Like This One.. Kent Roberts Timberghost..Muzzy update!
Post by: Guru on August 05, 2013, 09:04:00 AM
Last year when Kent posted about a RH demo bow he was sending out for the lucky right handers folks to try out....I commented how I would love to try one of his bows out if he ever made a lefty.

Being such huge longtime fan of the belly mounted limb,forward risered Kwik Styk recurve....I have naturally always been drawn to the Timberghost take-down longbow as it is very similar.

I always just kinda figured that if there was ever a short longbow that I would really be able to shoot good....it would be something like a Timberghost.

Well, out of the blue one day back in May I get an e mail from Kent that he had a lefty made up and he wanted me to see what I thought about the bow.

He sent these pix along with the email...
•     (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/tghost001.jpeg)
•     (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/tghost002.jpeg)
•     (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/tghost003.jpeg)

To say I was a little excited would be an understatement...I mean look at that thing!

But at the same time, I didn't want to get my hopes up and set the bar in my mind too high knowing what I'm used to shooting( I think I'm spoiled by my KS 'curves).

I've been sent demo bows before to try out that honestly didn't turn out to be what I thought they'd be.....I hoped this one would be different...especially after the reviews from the righty bow from last year's thread.

A lot more to follow....and a bunch of pix and a couple video clips as well to watch the limbs bend.

I'll leave you with 2 words till later....Very Impressive!!!

Hopefully Kent can chime in on anything I can't...

Some spec's on the bow...

The bow is overall a tiny 54 inches...

The beautiful riser is only 11" long and made up of Bacote, Zebrawood, and black phenolic. I believe it's cut 3/16" past center...

Limbs are made with I believe Bacote wedges, not sure what the wood lams are, but I know there are 3 layers of carbon in there. Tips are nice and small and are built for new string materials. The belly side of the limbs have a Zebra overlay on them where the limb bolt goes through...

Not sure what the string material is on the bow...Kent would know...

Cores are actionboo and string material is D10. You're correct on the rest of the materials. Glad to hear you like it.

Yep, Kent can make a fine bow. I shot a very short recurve that he brought to Bear Quest with him. Very smooth drawing bow.

So the bow comes in and I anxiously unpack it....Kent's pix didn't do it justice....it's gorgeous!

Get it together and can't believe compact and light it is....but I'd soon find out that this little beaut is no joke...

One of my concerns was that such a short longbow wouldn't feel very comfortable at my near 29" draw....WRONG!!

I own two short longbow's, both 58", honestly neither of them have the smoothness of draw past 28" that this little bow does. It feels like it just cruises past 28" with ease.

Who would have thought!  I have no idea how Kent does it, but whatever he's doing...it works!

When I was getting the bow from Kent, he asked me to let him know when I got it.....this is my honest initial reply to him after I got the bow....


"Kent, Got the bow bud. We shot about 50 arrows through it and all initial impressions are awesome!!  We luv it!  As of now I feel it's the best shooting 3pc. longbow I've ever drawn and shot....more later....."

Maybe it's the fact that the feel of the bow, because of it's design is so similar to what I'm used to, that I felt so comfortable....I don't know...

The smoothness of this bow is something I surely wasn't expecting....but is gets better....

I feel absolutely no finger pinch, I mean at all...

More on performance tomorrow....how about a few more pix...

Oh, no he does make a recurve limb and a static (which I don't have) at that!

I am definitely not in the market for a new bow, I've been working on breaking the habit. This one sure is tempting though and about $400 less than something that would be similar looking at least.

Yes the static RC is the same price as the hybrid. I'll try to post a pic of my 52" static later. I'm working on (3) custom statics now and hope to have one of those done this week. I'll have Static pics on my website soon.

Post by: Guru on August 06, 2013, 05:29:00 PM
Here's the rub on the performance of this bow...

I don't own a chrono....but I know I high performance bow when I shoot one. I can also tell by how my arrows tune to the bow how hard it's shooting....

Now, for some reason, I really dislike the popular saying "it smokes an arrow" that guys use to describe how fast guys think their bows are.....so....lets just say I can tell this little longbow is FAST, REALLY FAST!!!

To be able to shoot the same arrows that I was shooting off another bow of mine that's the same weight and amount of centershot....I had to cut an inch off them and and drop down 20gns. on the point.....impressive!!!

But...all that being great, a bow to me is not worth a hoot, no matter how "fast" it might be,if it has a "thump" at release.  This bow is 'dead' at release....nothing.....

All that and whisper quiet...

This bow is a total (tiny) package!!!

How about some more pix...

Here you can see the limbs bend when I take it to my near 29" draw....that's a 29 1/4" arrow...

I hope the one that will done this week is mine  :bigsmyl:    :pray:

I have owned or shot three of Kent's bows including the new static; and for me, there is not a bow out there that I shoot better. I have a custom 52 inch static that will be done very soon.

furthermore, I echo everything that Guru said; and I will add that Kent builds an outstanding bow at a fair price.

Kent Roberts - WOW!

Very nice bow. Being a Hill style shooter for almost two years I am quite fond of the Hill style and no non-Hill bow has gotten my attention like this one. If this bows does get passed around I'd like a chance at it.

Well done Sir.

I am a lefty and really like my Morrisons and Toelkes, but like Bud this has caught my eye.

I would also like to be on the list if this bow or better yet a Static is past around. I know about Statics since my Morrison is one of Bob's premier riser and limbs.

How long is wait list curt/kent? Curt I also noticed the way you grip the bow , it looked like I do mine. Somewhat high and the pressure of grip rest in the meat of the base of thumb. Kind of straight wrist. Basically s high wrist recurve grip is what I like. Is that what that bow lends itself too.
How do you think those limbs compare to say a Shawnee or centaur as far as performance

Post by: AR RidgeRunner on August 07, 2013, 11:57:00 PM
Current lead time if you get on the list now should have your bow finished late November/early December. I pretty much grip the bow the same as Curt, kind of a high wrist grip. You can see from some of the pics Curt took I leave a little extra width to build in a bit of a thumb rest and put a little angle and palm swell into the grip to promote that consistent hand placement. I can also adjust the grip higher or lower to your preference. I've never hot a Shawnee or Centaur so really couldn't comment on the performance comparison, Curt might be able to.
Thanks
Kent

Post by: Rob DiStefano on August 08, 2013, 05:53:00 AM
kent, do you offer any variations in the grip, such as much lower and straighter - more like a typical r/d longbow locator style grip?
Title: Re: Rarely Does a Bow Impress Me Like This One.. Kent Roberts Timberghost..Muzzy update!
Post by: AR RidgeRunner on August 08, 2013, 09:41:00 AM
Rob
I can do a lower grip and still keep the same amount of deflex in the riser. Depending on how low it would probably work better with the 13" rather than the 11" riser due to having more room between the throat and where the butt of the lower limb meets the riser. Don't know what length bow you're thinking about but I could go as low as 56" on a 13" riser. If you want to send me a pic of the grip you have in mind I'll take a look at it.
Thanks

Post by: Rob DiStefano on August 08, 2013, 10:07:00 AM
kent,

while i don't shoot with a high grip, neither do i use a low or medium grip either.  however, only the bow hand thumb meat touches the grip as the pressure point, while the rest of the hand just touches (sans pressure) the lower part of the grip.  

iow, i do what the high grip guys do, only with a "broken wrist".  

high grip guys like curt are actually holding the bow in the old 60's "california high grip" style, where the wrist stays straight in line with the thumb meat (where the pressure is on the grip).  

gee, too many words, i need to post a pic.    :D

Hey Bud, I do shoot with a straight grip (old compound days,late 70's-early 80's)and have always shot a "low wrist grip" and here's why...

When I ordered my very first ever custom bow from none other than the late Paul Schafer....when we talked grips and how I shot with a straight wrist, I thought I needed a high wrist grip.

But Paul recommended, even though I shot the way I did, ma low wrist grip on the bow.....his way of thinking was that there would be less of a chance of torquing or any other bow hand issues with a low grip.

Minimize contact = less problems...

It made sense to me and every bow I've ever had since has been with pretty much the same exact grip as my Schafer.

I'd say the grip on this bow is medium grip compared to some I've seen and shot....very nice though....I bet you'd love it!

Like I said, I don't have a chrono....but I guarantee this bow will shoot with any high performance longbow...any!  

I'd even go as far as saying it will out shoot most recurves....just my observations....

In this pic you can see they are a bit wider, which would make up for some of the thinness.

Seem to be much lighter in physical weight.

Your welcome David, you won't be disappointed bud.

Jake, I am shooting it right at 7 3/4" brace.

I am glad that you are liking it, I do miss it, but hopefully that void will be filled when my new one is finished.

I have said before, and will say again, for me, I have not found a better shooting bow than a TimberGhost!

Post by: Shawn Leonard on August 12, 2013, 04:36:00 PM
Kent, I shot it very well and I am not left-handed I was 2-3 on foam blocks at 15 yards or so. I would love one, it was so smooth and smoking fast. It drew like a 62" bow and when I saw it was 54"s I about feel over. I agree with Curt, this is the most impressive longbow I have ever shot. I am a recurve guy but with that grip and those super light fast limbs I fell in love with it!! If I was not bow rich and money poor I would order one today! Shawn

Here's a couple pics of my personal bow with the static RC limbs. I'll try to post some later at full draw.

Shawn glad you got to try the hybrid at the Muzzy. Sounds like you shoot pretty good left handed. I probably couldn't hit the broad side of a barn shootin lefty!

Just sold my last stock bows so I don't have anything right now. I need to update my website and I think I need to resize some of the pics to get rid of the slow loading issue. If I could find time around building bows and working I might get that done. Be glad to build you a custom if you want to go that route.

Right now I'm doing 52", 54" and 56" in the static. I've had several people shoot my 52" up to and a little over 28" draw and have had quite a few comments on how smooth it feels.

Well, the "Muzzy" weekend went great with the Timberghost!  

I managed to win the longbow division, and then went on to win the overall championship in a epic shoot off against the recurve winner "T-dog"!

This little bow is incredible and everyone that stopped to comment on it couldn't believe how it launched an arrow!

Kent, I shot 2 rounds with Don Ferraro...he said he shared camp with you at Bear Quest this spring. Just wanted to let you know that he said you were a great guy, "a real gentleman".

The same could be said about Don...just a super guy!

Awesome shooting Curt! Cool video. Looking at the arch in that one shot it must have been a long one.
I've heard you were a great shot but to pick up a bow you never shot, shoot it a couple weeks and go win the Muzzy with it is amazing. I know all I did was send you the bow but when you sent me that e-mail Sunday afternoon to let me know how things turned out I had to let my hat band out a couple notches. Congrats buddy!

Don't know about me being one but I'd have to agree that Don seemed like a real gentleman at Bear Quest.

I too have been wanting to try a belly mount, and this one is very appealing. Curt, how heavy an arrow were you shooting at the muzzy? They seemed pretty fast and looked to hit hard.

A lot more pix and video's in that thread....

Pheonix.....At my draw the bow was probably 53-#54 and I was shooting a 30" Beman Bowhunter .400 spine that weighed in right at 500 grains.....not light at all. This little bow is a shooter!!!

Great looking bow.  I too favor belly mounted limbs.  Higher brace height means less clearance problems when wearing heavy clothing like in a November treestand.  More mass weight in the riser for me always equals better shooting.  Even if you flinch it simply takes more effort to move it.  Way to go on the shoot Curt!

Glenbo and Curt,
What if I'm not worried about "short"?  I'm very interested in a R/D longbow w/ reverse handle like this.  I currently shoot 60" and 62" R/D longbows.  Are there any "shortcomings" of this bow because it's made in shorter lengths?  Feel free to PM if you'd like.

Your welcome Hubert    :thumbsup:

Hombru,  There is no shortcoming that I've experienced at all. This little longbow is everything you'd want in a bow, just shorter!
Smooth like a 62" bow, nothing felt at release, easy to shoot accurately, and speed!  Anything specific, just ask bud...if I can't answer, I'm sure Kent can...

Irv, that combo would be killer! Exciting process for sure, you'll be even more excited when you shoot it    :archer2:    :eek:

Title: Re: Rarely Does a Bow Impress Me Like This One.. Kent Roberts Timberghost..Muzzy update!
Post by: Guru on August 19, 2013, 07:04:00 PM
Brian, Kent would have to answer that question. But maybe the longest version would handle it.  This 54"we handles 29" easily, the 58" might be the ticket.
Title: Re: Rarely Does a Bow Impress Me Like This One.. Kent Roberts Timberghost..Muzzy update!
Post by: AR RidgeRunner on August 19, 2013, 07:35:00 PM
Brian, for a 31" draw you should probably go with at least a 58" hybrid, a 60" might be more comfortable and with a 31" draw should have really good performance. Just delivered a 58" to a customer with a 30" draw and he loves it.

Duncan, I may do a longer static at some point. Right now the longest is 56". Gen273 and Monsterbuck can tell you how comfortable my 52" static is at their 28" draw. They were going to order 54" bows until they tried my bow and ordered 52"ers.

Well, Time to pack it up and send her back to Kent, but it may not be the last time I have my hands on this special little bow....

I held off sending it back this past weekend because I was meeting Rob D. early this week for some computer issues....and I wanted him to see it as he'd just ordered one.

Anyway...Thank you Kent for this experience    :notworthy:

Burnsie, it was actually triple carbon bud.....if I remember correctly(I sent the bow back, so I can't check it out)it had two very thin lams on the back and one on the belly.

Kent will know better....
